Jermain Taylor Vs Kelly Pavlik 2

votes, votes away

shits gettin close ...ppl still believe in jt he was the champ..

either way it will be a good fight

Kelly Pavlik by KO....Taylor claims he will keep his left hand up, but he won't...Taylor will drop his left hand and get nailed with right hand bombs from Pavlik, it will be deja vu all over again. Taylor is too susceptible to right hands and Pavlik is just a bad match up for him. Taylor should've taken a tuneup fight, his career will be in jeopardy when he gets KTFO by Pavlik again. you wanna bet..??? I GOT A 10K BET ON TAYLOR 2-1 odds for anyone who wants to take it...

Most people had the first fight a pick'em and Pavlik won by decisive KO, and now for the second fight it looks even closer? I'm not buying it. I agree it's possible that Taylor could make the right adjustments but I have Pavlik by KO again. well nobody forgot round 2 ;)

I don't know who to pick in the rematch. Seriously no fucking idea.. So I just went with Taylor .. To me, it's 50/50. i did the exact same thing you did, i couldn't pick so i just went with Taylor

Pavlik, he just keeps on coming and will eventually hurt Taylor. Taylor can box all night but Pavlik will be there to hit him.

Wow suprised to see the poll so close. The way people talk around here it appeared Pavlik was a heavy favorite. I think it's be a more boring fight with Taylor trying to box more and stay away from Pavlik. The silly judges scoring the fight so one sided for Taylor before the KO may give him a false sense and make him think he can dance all night and stick his jab on his way to a decision. I don't think he can or will. Pavlik can box with him and will eventually land again. I think he'll stop Taylor late.....

I think Pavlik will land his right hand again, but taylor will do a lot better then the first fight

Brain says pavlik, but gut feeling says Pavlik is too good to be true for boxing.

taylor did the best he could in the last fight and still got knocked the fuck out. jermain looked better than he did against hopkins, because this time around he really won some rounds and it didn't matter, pavlik still knocked him the fuck out. what makes u think anything different is going to happen this time around. pavlik by KTFO, this time he'll knock jermain right through the ropes Man, I really don't think that Taylor showed his best at all. I think he was obviously out of his comfort zone. I think that's apparent by the fact that he didn't finish Pavlik in the 2nd. I guarantee it wasn't because anything Pavlik did - No, it was what Taylor DIDN'T do. Taylor didn't keep his cool, and he got way too excited, and his nerves just caused him to be all spastic instead of deadly and accurate. Plus, I don't think that JT handled the pressure from Manny very well at all, not in any of the fights that they trained together for. I think it was a mismatch that just happened to work out in Pavlik's favor, and that won't be the case for the rematch. Taylor hasn't used his jab since his first fight with Hopkins, and that jab is the very punch that won him that fight. He's going back to basics, and the jab will come out if Taylor is to win. If not, well... I'm glad it's Taylor's head in that ring and not mine.

it's tough i said if they ought to fight again i'd pick taylor this time around, idk it's tough, but paavlik has more balls then taylor, that's the only reason i give it to pavlik......

The ghost for the simple reason that he can take bad intentions best punch and that memory of being KO'd brutally in the 7th is still fresh and may work against taylor. We've seen the best of Taylor, it's not enough to beat Pavlik. taylor did the best he could in the last fight and still got knocked the fuck out. jermain looked better than he did against hopkins, because this time around he really won some rounds and it didn't matter, pavlik still knocked him the fuck out. what makes u think anything different is going to happen this time around. pavlik by KTFO, this time he'll knock jermain right through the ropes

should be a great fight again, can't wait

I think Taylor pulls it together and uses his skills and assets to the best of his advantage to win a decision in the rematch. I really don't think Taylor gets KO'd in this fight. If Kelly wins, I think it will be by decision.

Looks like the odds are getting closer to even the closer we get to this fight. If Kelly ends up being even money, I might just have to gamble real money on this one.
