How do you feel about Kelly Pavlik's prospects?
Impressed With Pavlik?

Ive always felt good about his prospects. He is alot better as a boxer than people have been giving him credit for.
He has a solid although unorthodox defensive style, but it works. He fights smart, and he is one of the greatest finishers I have ever seen.
Hes like Joe Louis in that regard. Once he has you on the hook, there is no getting off.Comment

I thought Pavlik woulda beat Taylor by more if he didnt drop his hands.
He got caught with a ****** punch and it NEARLY cost him his entire reputation and everything.
BUT, how could anyone NOT love a guy coming back from CERTAIN DEFEAT, to stop his man a few rounds later?Comment

I think Pavlik did pretty darn good.
It helped Pavlik CONSIDERABLY that Jermain Taylor fought like a ****ing moron and kept his lead hand below his **** 98% of the time. Taylor put on one of the most ******ed displays I can ever remember witnessing at this level. What Taylor did in allowing Pavlik to predictably load up was akin to laying down in the railroad tracks.
I'll give Jermain consideration by assuming Pavlik hurt him to the body and that's why Taylor was standing there waiting for the MACK TRUCK to run his ass the **** over.

If there's a rematch, Taylor will not be so willing to trade with Pavlik. He'll try and stay outside, work the jab, and win it with ring generalship and boxing skills. The problem is that the Taylor jab cannot beat the Pavlik jab. Consequently, the prospect of knocking out Pavlik with "that one good punch" will be diminished and Pavlik will in all likelihood win again.Comment
