Pavlik would have been robbed if he didn't KO Taylor.

i had 57-56 pavlik, i agreed with larry that pavlik was knocking down a lot of the nice looking shots taylor was throwing..... taylor countered impressively in the 4th it almost looked like he was going to take total control just pestering pavlik with his left but then the fifth pavlik just got on top of him and stayed there.

Yeah, I know there were a couple rounds in there that could go either way. Taylor landed some of the better shots but Pavlik let his hands go more. Taylor got hit with some shots that looked like they were landing clean but he was taking a lot off of them with his head movement.

First round was definately Pavlik. Second was a 10/8 round for Taylor no other way to score it. 3rd round pavlik came back pretty good I thought and I gave him the round. 4th if I remember correctly was my hardest to score, I just felt Taylor landed the cleaner punches, but I wouldnt be mad if someone scored it for Pavlik. In the 5th I thought Taylor again landed the better shots, fighting off the ropes a few times and making pavlik miss most of his punches while he had taylor on the ropes. And 6th I gave to Taylor because I felt like again he landed some of the better shots and Pavlik almost looked a little gassed breathing through his mouth. Scoring on points the fight could be called a draw until the 7th. I just dont see how people are saying the judges are were paid off by taylor. This was a close fight, makes me wonder if people were watching the same thing I was.

ESPN.com had it a shut out for Taylor which is seriously ****ed up. Look for yourself. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=3041197

I hope Dan Rafael wasn't doing the round by round because I would lose all respect for him.

Pavlik was winning the fight even with the knockdown. Taylor got bull**** judging for about six fights in a row. **** I couldn't believe it when they announced those scores

Thats disappointing when you basically catch the judges in the process or robbing a fighter blind.

It already starts. Give Taylor credit. I bet half of you ****ers saying he was clearly loosing the fight werent even watching. If you were watching you wouldnt be saying that. Taylor looked good, if you say anything else your an idiot.

Pavlik just has too much power.

i had the fight 3-2-1, 58-56, for taylor

It was a close fight and I thought Pavlik was winning it by a round but I wouldn;t argue with People who had it the other way. Pavlik is the wrong math-up for Taylor that's all and Pavlik fights hard. He deserved his 1 mil tonight. Berto and Estrada were ****ing amazing. OMG, ****ing warriors!

Whoa. I believe Larry Merchant had it scored even after 6. Ol' what's his name (drew a blank) at ringside had Pavlik up by a point, if I recall correctly.

Taylor did real good, but I didn't have him ahead after 6.

I stated in another thread that you could have had it a point up for pavlik as well. But a lot of those rounds were close. And from what I've seen from other people on boxingscene that actually scored the fight as it was happening my score was spot on. Some of the rounds were just too close to say, "Pavlik was dominating Taylor! theres no way Taylor was ahead!" Like some people are saying.

The problem with Pavlik is that his shots don't look as spectacular as Jermain's. That's prolly why the judges scored it that way. Check my thread on powerful but-not-so-powerful-looking punches like those thrown by Pavlik in this fight and Pac in the first Morales fight. Guys like Pac and Pav have to knock down their opponents before they get recognized by the judges.
