[Steelhammer86]

Who do you think will win this fight and why? Will the fight go the distance?

If pavlik wins, and his pressure style works for him in the fight, then I dont think this fight goes the distance.

Taylors been hurt plenty of times, and Pavliks the biggest puncher hes ever faced.

If it does manage to go to the cards, that probably means Taylors chin held up and his jab worked for him. In that case, Taylor by clear cut decision.

I dont know if im speaking with my heart here, but PAVLIK by KO10

I think Pavlik will take the fight to Taylor and force him to mix it up. Pavlik's length could be a factor and forcing Taylor back. Pavlik will get him pretty good a few times, but I think he will land shots of his own and use his athletic ability to get out of certain situations. I feel its going to be a good fight with more action than the last few Taylor fights and I think he will win a close UD decision or SD.

I really don't like Taylor that much. His style to me is beatable. He's a trooper though. Pav should be able to break him down. Taylor hits hard though....but Pav's a lot less sloppy.

Pavlik by KO or TKO, he is a true middle weight and has good power and a good chin. I think either Miranda or Pavlik could beat Taylor.

[rambov]

Either way...someone's getting knocked out!

taylor got pressured into the ropes by ouma and winky, two jr middleweights who have very little power to speak of. pavlik's bread and butter is hammering you on the ropes, right where jermain taylor has no idea what to do to defend himself.

pavlik by TKO, easy.

yeah, pavlik could stand up to miranda's best shots but taylor (who hasnt had a knockout in two years) has the power to stop pavlik.

that makes a lot of sense.

Taylor by UD.

Some of you guys are underrating Taylor here, he probably deserves it from his sloppy performances but obviously something about him gave trouble to p4p kingpin at the time Bernard Hopkins and also to Winky Wright.
