Pavlik isnt going to win

[Kobe Bryant]

Say what you want to say Miranda was still a big win. There is no doubt he has really good power. And it could put you out with one punch. It seems he's getting little credit for destroying Miranda. He showed a lot of tenacity to walk through Miranda. That's already doing something Taylor hasn't done in any of his big fights and that's dominate. Pavlik to KO Taylor.

"Kelly Who?"... that's classic... "yes, he is"

[ANDROID_DOES]

Taylor has the experience and talent to beat this dude. Just cause you come forward means your gonna win a fight??? lmao thats ridiculous. Taylor is much more skilled and polished than kelly. Tayler needs someone to push him and make him slug it out. He hasnt fought someone like that in at least a year. Believe come fight night taylor will be ready for anything kelly brings. and you think kelly will get the best going toe to toe then you better reconsider that.

winky would beat kelly probably ud and so would hopkins...two guys taylor beat...

[The Troll]

I think he will. If Taylor's jab was everything it's supposed to be I might think different but it isn't. And besides that like somebody else said he doesn't have great movement. He'll get into exchanges with Kelly and he'll get beat up.

He does have experience against good opposition, Taylor does, but all those guys are old hat and not exactly hungry fighters especially I think in the case of Bernard. Pavlik is the first such fighter he'll be fighting in regards to being young and hungry, goes about his business with an edge.

Pavlik's straight stiff and powerfull shots, vs Taylors hesitant quick shots?


I cant believe I'm goin with Pavlik. He's tough, and killer when he gets in range. I got Pavlik in this fight..

I, too, think Taylor wins this fight, but it will require a complete 180 in his in-fight demeanor and approach.

Ever since the first Hopkins fight, Taylor has been so skittish in the ring it's been painful to watch at times. You need no further evidence of this than the Ouma fight, where a guy so much smaller than him dictated the pace and style of the fight, backing up Taylor all night long for crying out loud.

I give him a mulligan for the Spinks fight, if only because of how quick and defensively-oriented Spinks is.

So, if Manny Steward can get Taylor to forget everything he's done since July 2005, he will be in good shape. I say that only half-jokingly, because Taylor obviously learned some incredible things sharing a ring with Hopkins twice and then Winky, but if he takes that cautious, careful mindset into this fight, he could get hurt. He cannot box like Floyd or Spinks, the only way to beat Pavlik for him is to meet him head-on.

If Steward can beat that into him, Taylor can come straight out of his corner fighting like he did against Eduoard, he will win this fight. But he must throw caution to the wind and be the aggressor. In other words, he must fight Pavlik exactly how Pavlik fought Miranda, with no fear and with full expectation of getting hit and hit HARD. If he can do this, he will win, and I think Manny Steward will let him see this and it will happen.

Taylor TKO10.

I can't believe I just typed that, but that's where I stand.

Previously I had predicted a Taylor win, but I wasn't sure if he would stop Pavlik or not. I think I just convinced myself.

Yea i think jermain has what it takes to beat kelly yes his past 2 fights have almost bored me to death and yes he almost got beat by 2 smaller men but he beat hopkins and drew with wright now that counts for something. Kelly Pavlik doesn't have the same style as ouma or cory. So I don't know the outcome but i believe if jermain actually let his hands go for once and became more confident his defense is pretty tight but he needs to keep pavlik off him with the solid jab he does have but has seldom shown in his last 2 fights.

Yea if manny steward can train jermain well and if jermain sticks to his game plan i think jermain can ud or possibly even KO pavlik.

On the other hand pavlik is a good come forward fighter with a good defense and power. His win over miranda was convincing but he is very upright and leaves his jaw sticking out but he has so far been able to show that he has a good chin soo I'd give Pavlik a fair chance of beating Jermain but I still favour Jermain to win.
