Jermain Taylor and Kelly Pavlik both stepped on the scales and looked in tremendous shape. Kelly looked his normal self, a tall, lanky kid with hardly any muscle tone. When Jermain stepped on, he had his more than normal ripped six pac, longer looking biceps and a stronger looking neck. Taylor looked healthy although very toned. Pavlik looked a little paler than he usually does. Side by side, Taylor looked like the bigger man and was by far much thicker than pavlik.

I have not seen pics yet so I cannot confirm this nor can anyone here, but this is a very accurate source. He emailed me about 10 minutes ago.

Nearly 500 hundred chanting fans turned out tonight at Caesars Palace to witness the official weigh-in and final stamp on the pre-fight lead up to the Jermain Taylor/Kelly Pavlik title fight tomorrow night.

To get a view of the fighters as they took the scale, you had to either have the privledge of being up front early, or like many of the fans who seemingly slept in the ballroom overnight, stand on chairs to see over the crowed pushing thier way forward.

Maybe because Ohio is slightly closer to Atlantic City than Little Rock, Arkansas, the volume of Pavlik's fans chanting "PA-VLIK! PAA-VLIK!" echoed off the walls and drowned out the announcers voice as he introduced the reigning champion, Jermain Taylor.

Taylor, for his part, hardly looked phased by the pro-Pavlik turn out. Supposedly under the 160lb limit since Wednesday, Taylor looked in shape and determined, making weight at exactly 159lbs.

Pavlik answered back with 159.5lbs, setting the crowd off, creating a commotion in the wings that knocked down one of the plastic Roman columns down. This is what weigh-ins should be like!

Taylor looks like he is in the best shape I've ever seen him in. His shoulders look bigger his body looks in fantastic shape. This might be a war, and we might see a stronger Taylor in this fight.

Nice photos. Both fighters look in great shape, I am surprised actually that Taylor is as tall as Pavlik but look at the arm length differential. It's like two inches. Well, it don't matter as Kelly is a Margarito type of fighter, choosing to throw his long arms on the inside for long periods.
