NO B-Hop Got Robbed 2wice... You should not be surprised by ANY of this...

It made me a giggle nervously but it was very close to my prediction, I thought of Pavlik by late tko.

Did not think that Taylor were going to be so aggressive(otherwise I would have picked mid rounds tko by Kelly) but I pretty much knew that this is how it's gonna end.

I give B hop one of the fights, but he really didn't do enough to win. Why shouldn't I be shocked? Taylor fought difficult fighters and beat them. Pavlik was a bid untested against world class fighters

i mean i was suprised too. its just that taylor got caught with a good punch. i know he beat hop twice and drew with winky but pavlik is a completely different fighter. taylor had never fought anyone with pavliks power and stamina. hop and winky fought taylor through the whole fight but later in the rounds they got tired and stopped throwing as many punches. pavlik didnt do that he kept coming which is what i believed played a big part in his victory. i still think taylor is a good fighter no doubt. he just has to do what other champions have in the past and thats bounce back and redeem himself.

Never a fan of Taylor's...but RESPECT, he went out on his shield like a warrior, no shame in that!!!

If Steve Smogger had stopped the fight in the 2nd round every one would be talking about how Pavlik was over rated and in WAY over his head. I'm glad the referee allowed the fight to continue because now we have a FOTY canditate and Pavlk has made many believers of former nay-sayers.

Damn, he beat the legend Hopkins twice, beat Winky Wright and lost to Pavlik by brutal KO. I really didn't see that coming. Sure, he put Miranda away with ease but Miranda is a one dimensional non defensive fighter. But, Taylor? You know u ****ers were pretty fkn shocked when Taylor made Pavlik look like **** in the second. Props to Pavlik but, I'm still shocked. I was never a huge Taylor fan but it broke my heart watching the interview in the locker room he was clearly ready to cry with half his face swollen

I too am shocked playa...I didnt think a MW or SMW could beat him....He will win the rematch...You have to know there will be one.

There will clearly be a rematch. Taylor made it known that he wants him on his next fight. Maybe well see them again in early 08

But you did realize that Taylor was not rated highly by pundits or posters. It's not like there was this perception that Taylor was a great champ, maybe 15% percent of boxing fans thought that.

I too picked Taylor to edge a decision, but I wasn't surprised except maybe with the way he immediately fell apart after getting touched.

I still can't beleive Taylor lost!
