KEYS TO VICTORY: Pavlik vs Taylor?

[Kball15]

What do you guys think they are for both guys?

Main things for each guy i think:
TAYLOR: Movement, dont let Pavlik get set
PAVLIK: Cut off the ring and jab to get inside

what else

[Verstyle]

I have a feeling that Taylor will do alot of holding in this fight,jabbing and lateral movements. He could win off of that,as long as he smothers Pavliks power.

Taylor need to use his jab he got a reach like 80 something I think the longest reach i ever seen in boxing. He is even longer than Tarver.

That is why in the Hopkins fight Lamply commented it a laser jab but now he abadon his jab so it makes him look bad.

so he really doesnt need to move that much with the jab and he could make spacing as well as could see the punch coming for a counters.

another thing is to put his guard up

Paul Williams has a 82' reach.

Pavlik controls space very well, Taylor is much better off trying to go in and out and lot, using a good 1-2

Like I said,holding will be a factor in this fight.Just watch.

It may be, but i think thats a very bad move for Taylor.

Instead of trying to smother Pavliks power by clinching he should either try staying away with his jab, OR he should just stay close without clinching which make te fight amazing

Also, Pavlik keeps his arms up, it easy for him to just push Taylor away. Taylor would tire out fast.

And Pavlik just needs one good push to get Taylor to the ropes. Pavliks the bigger and stronger fighter.

He does have a good trainer in his corner,Taylor that is. And Pavlik,nor his corner are veterans.Taylor has beat veterans thats know alot of tricks. Im sure Stewart has some tricks up his sleeve.As long as Taylor doesnt get caught.

Pavlik: cut off the ring, get taylor on the ropes
Taylor: counter, use head movement
