Taylor Has No Chance Against Pavlik

[GunStar]

You make good points, think about this--if Pavlik has trouble making weight like Miranda did, he could be drained, and then it wouldn't take as much punishment to stop him. I think that is a possibility. Also, I mentioned he could get stopped on cuts, which would take only one clean shot by Taylor and then the jab worsening the cut to make that happen--a very good possibility IMO. Pavlik may have a solid chin, but he's no JLC, Zertuche dropped him.

I'll stick with Taylor by late stoppage.

That's just an excuse, Taylor is always weight draned too, Pavlik not too long ago was fighting at 154, so now he's weight drained.

Pavlik's last fight below 160 was in 2001 vs. Mario Lopez (don't know if it's THAT Mario Lopez). That's a while back. He has fought above 160 FOURTEEN times since then. He has made 160 successfully only seven times since then. It will be a big struggle for him to make the weight.

pavlik ko'd AC SLATER freaking ac slater from saved by the bell, how can you not pick pavlik

[Winkyftw!]

Pavlik seems open to a strong jab, and Taylor USED to throw a strong jab with regularity.

But the most probable outcome imo, is that Pavlik will overwhelm Taylor with a huge output of punches, and steady unrelenting pressure.

I want to pick Pavlik but I think this is a very winnable fight for Taylor with his edge in hand speed. Kelly is there to be hit, and Jermain has much faster hands than anyone Pavlik has fought lately.

I really just hope someone wins clearly...especially if Taylor is ruled the victor. The guy hasn't won a championship level fight (the Ouma fight is the exception but come on) convincingly.

Pavlik will make the fight, I have a strange feeling that Taylor will win it in light of Pavlik looking so great lately.

If Pavlik is able to connect, he will KO Taylor. Otherwise, Taylor will win by decision.

Taylor was not overrated he used to have a good jab but he abadon it and that is why he looks bad

Pavlik

Pavlik by ko no doubt in my mind

[Lethal]

I mean, I really like the kid and hope he wins.. his fights are for sure more exciting and when he fights, he fights... Taylor is too cautious now.. When Pavlik was engaging with Miranda... after 6-7 rounds, he had the fight in the bag and could just jab his way to victory.. but no, he fought him to the end! Heart of a warrior!

Exactly. Pavlik POUNDED Miranda. Pure exchange. True def. of pound for pound. Nothin but warriors.

I never was impressed by Taylor. Pavlik > Taylor by a vicious ass whoopin.
