Jermain Taylor to go into ISOLATION for his bout with Kelly Pavlik

[freedom213]

Really? These are two big punchers in there. Both have good chins, but Pavlik will try to throw maybe 90 punches a round while Taylor will try to throw maybe 60 punches a round...

I think its 50-50 on whether we see a KD/KO or not

I question your statement about taylor having a good chin. Hopkins had him reeling in both fights especially 1st fight and landed a very conservative number of punches on him. This is really his whiskas first big test, and he will get tested. Taylors best chance will be a lot of side to side movement and to get the jab workin early, otherwise he's gonna get forced into a pure brawl and or backed to the ropes and used as a punching bag.

yup i agree on both accounts. He cant let Pavlik get set, or else he's gonna get pounded.

And Pavlik isnt the most nimble target, a good jab could do damage.

And WRIGHT also hurt Taylor, as did Spinks. So maybe he doesnt really have that good a chin.

And Pavlik is certainly the hardest hitter he has ever faced, and Pavlik throws the most punches.

BUT, if Taylor jabs and moves, Pavlik will have trouble getting off a lot of punches for the first few rounds.

No matter what Taylor does, i think Pavlik is to big and strong to not drag Taylor into a brawl
