KELLY PAVLIK is a GOOD DEFENSIVE fighter

[THE REAL GEE]

Pavilk

This will be a very easy fight for tayl r. pavlik never fought a fighter on taylor's level. you will see jermaine's experince kick in as he breakdown pavlik round by round.speaking of pavilks chin, he was hurt in both of his last two fights, by looping shots that were not crisp and sharp, which is how taylor's punches are thrown.the reason winky gave taylor so much trouble is first of all he's a world champion, second he's a southpaw. that spells trouble for anyone ,southpaws are really hard to deal with. so you see taylor has seen almost everything in the ring by beating the best . Pavilk is a good kid and I like his heart and skill + power, but he's in way over his head.

He has good defense but doesn't make smooth transitions from punching to blocking and back.

People on here call him a 'brawler' and/or a 'pressure fighter', I don't get that. The Miranda fight was a plan he executed nicely to beat a particular guy. That's not necessarily his style.

He moved his head with those huge Miranda rights that put evweryone else to sleep and he took them nicely on the cheek.

I think Taylor could win, but Pavlik has an excellent chin that Taylor won't easily crack. Taylor has only slightly better than average power for a middleweight.

I personaly just dont think Taylor has a Champion's mental make up..





Both fighters have weaknesses that the other can EXPLOIT..

I think this fight will come down to Who wants it more...

[Knicksman20]

I've never been high on Taylor but I think Taylor should win this fight. He has big fight experience and the difference in hand speed will be apparent from the first round on. He's not fighting a slick fighter, southpaw, or a counter puncher. He's fighting an orthodox boxer which will probably make him look less amateurish.

[TyrantT316]

For someone as flawed as Taylor, he sured stuck in there with two of the best technically sound boxers in Hopkins and Winky...

just because you're flawed, that doesn't mean it will always spell doom...

Pavlik is a completely different animal than Winky, Hopkins, Ouma and Spinks...however I don't see it being easy for either man...

they are both big...undefeated...strong...have heart...and both have been tested

pavliks power will be way too much for taylor, just like it has been for everyone else. The guy is a beast. he could move up and win every other belt i think. then keep moving up. watch the youtube video of the documentary. you will see his dad. same height but the dude is like 235 of all muscle. his genes have light heavyweight written all over them. look for him to be a force in many weight classes for some time. mark my words

[rambov]

Taylor is too much of an iffy fighter. I can never tell if he's going to win. His style looks ununiformed. I think if Pav does his homework he can win

EVERY belt? He's young, and likely won't be at 160 for too long. And the best young LHW is not a big man, so all these guys coming from 160 and 168 will be able to compete there.

Yea exactly. Pavlik has fought like that a bunch of times because he's in there with guys that break down after many rounds of pressure. And he and his team are smart enough to realize that, and Pavlik has the courage to execute a risky gameplan like that.

And Taylor has good experience, but he still has never been in with a guy anything like Pavlik. The only thing close to Pavlik was Wright, and i dont need to say ANYTHING about that.

ONE REALLY GOOD thing i could see a TAYLOR fan hanging onto, is actually the KASSIM OUMA fight. hear me out.

Ouma was and is known as a guy who throws well over 100 punches every round. But agianst Taylor, Ouma hardly got off 30 punches a round.

Then you have Pavlik, who is also known for throwing maybe 80+ punches a round, all hard. But maybe, like Ouma, he wont be able to get them off as well.

IMO, Pavlik is PLENTY bigger and stronger, and has a longer jab then Ouma, and getting off 70, 80, or 90 shots a round isn't going to be as difficult as it was for Ouma
