Taylor beats EVERYONE in the middle of the ring, the only time he gets in big trouble is when he puts his back on the ropes, which always end up happening.
Judge's were going to rob Kelly....

Yeah he has a bad habit of that. He could do that against Winky, Ouma, and Spinks because there punching power isn't that great, but against Pavlik he had too much power and Kelly has that great finishing instinct and that's what he did to Taylor is he got him hurt up against the ropes and finished him. Something Taylor had a chance to do in the 2nd round, but couldn't do.Comment

Jabs don't win you rounds if that is all you're doing and the other guy is doing more guys. As much as I was pulling for Kelly, I had only scored 1 and 3 for him, giving 2 with a KD, 4, 5, and 6 to Taylor. So I think I had it 58-55 too, but I haven't checked my math there so maybe I'm wrong. Pavlik was winning the jabbing contest and controlling the pace in the ring yes, but it wasn't a demolishing in that category. Taylor's jab was certainly holding its own, and Kelly did nothing else in those rounds while Taylor would flurry and take the round.Comment

The rounds were hard as hell to judge, they both fought there hearts out last night. I don't know if you could really say kelly was being robbed on the scorecards. But Taylor fight like he was losing on the score card aswell. Both men very respectable, Taylor didn't take anything away from Kelly at all when they interviewed hima after the fight. And Kelly didn't take anything away from Taylor, when Kelly basically said this is the first boxer to ever hurt me in the ring(but he said it basically in a different way when he said he was hurt when taylor knocked him down)... I love these honest fighters, this is what the sports all about.Comment
