What about the fans like me that said Pavliks defense was deceptively good?

Also true...

He did get hit with some hard shots though.

He blocked a lot of the shots coming in, but it seemed like a lot of the hard ones got through.

Round 2 wasn't good for him though. I thought that **** was going to be done before the end of that round. He recovered very well though.

Stop whoring.

1. The fans who said that Kelly Pavlik could box, contrary to the notion that he could just brawl, were very right. I thought he won a lot of the rounds.

2. Taylor clearly was better than all the **** he got before this fight... he just had the misfortune of facing fighters who were really good defensively, or put defense first.

3. This was a damn good fight... it's up there with Vazquez-Marquez II IMO.

4. Both of these guys are so honest... Pavlik's comment about it being a long night was nice to hear, instead of the usual, "That didn't hurt me, it was a slip!" comment. Taylor was very truthful in the post-fight interview too.

They should have a rematch at 160.

Cong**** to Speedkillz on taking points off me!

And what about fans like me that said Taylor would go toe to toe and this would end up with him being knocked out?

Jermain had to feel like **** after that round. He hit Pavlik with EVERYTHING he had, but the kid got up and kept right on coming the next round.

Okay... just to make it so these will stop popping up with every facet of the fight that everyone called.

GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE WHO PREDICTED ANYTHING CORRECTLY ABOUT PAVLIK-TAYLOR.

Read the aforementioned.

Also... Pavlik was well on his way to getting a bad decision it looked like. I had the fight 1 point for either fighter... because I missed part of 1 of the rounds, so I didn't score it. I had it either 57-56 Pavlik or 57-56 Taylor depending on who that.

The 3 judges had it:
59-54
58-55
58-55

I thought Pavlik was actually winning a lot of those rounds.

Taylor and Pavlik just did boxing a good service with this fight. We need more of these to erase the stigma of DLH-Mayweahter.
