    You are correct.
    It was a great win and a great comeback for Kelly Pavlik.

    You rarely see the tide just turn like that in a fight, but people are talking out of their ass when they say, "It was the second greatest fight ever."

After the 1st two rounds it was really slow paced from there on with both guys pretty fatigued.

      Now you can say like that one guy said who thought that the side stuff added to it and made it great but if your just talking about the fight itself then it wasnt all that which people make it out to be
      I will always prefer a Pavlik KO from a Fake Floyd running like a chicken from an overmatched Baldomir.

      So if you're questioning overrated fights, question Fake Floyd. Not someone who went down in the 2nd, down on all cards and still rallied to a KO in the
      7th.

      I do hope you have wisdom to analyze that.

        Your so ****** that Im not even going to argue Floyd's stature to you but what in the hell does your answer have to do with my question, fool? You act like I said that Floyd-Baldy was the most exciting fight ever. You think that all I watch is Floyd? I love boxing and was really hyped up for this fight as I thought it could be a classic. Im not even saying at all that it lived "down" to anything but my point is that it was just a good solid fight. There was nothing super special about it. There have been a ton of good fights this year that this fight doesnt compare to. Even the Cotto-Zab fight seemed better then this and I thought Zab was a punching bag most of the time. Fights just dont stay exciting when guys tire out quick. They were exhausted or anything but it was not a super high level or exciting fight after round 2. The paced slowed to a crawl after then

          Yes you are the only one, If u thought the fight wasnt everything a boxing fan would want with a Big profile fight, between two undefeated guys. U should watch another sport.

              With the standards these days, Kelly Pavlik/Jermaine Taylor was a GREAT FIGHT!!! Were you one of the people that thought Mayweather/DLH was a great fight, just curious?

                I see your point DLT & I have to agree you. It was a good solid fight but not a great fight. Good action & drama in the first 2 rounds but things started to settle down afterwards with some decent exchanges.

                    I hear all these threads talking about how great the fight was and so on but it wasnt that great to me. It was a good solid fight but there was nothing real special about it.

                    I thought round 1 was awesome and had alot of volume and action to it. After that the fight wasnt that great except for the 2 knock downs. The ending was also a little anti climatic as it kind of seem to come from nowhwere but it wasnt flashy either.

                    For the most part, the fight actually was just solid to boring like alot of Pavlik's fights are. Its crazy because he's a all action fighter but he's not really exciting at all. I think its the way he's kind of like a slower heavy hand guy. Both this fight & Miranda's fight was great early but then the fight settles into a groove where both guys are throwing but its not exciting. In both fights it also seems like all the fighters tire by like round 3 and then they keep fighting but its not at a high pace or with a ton of skill.

                    Pavlik even says that he throws alot of punches even when he gets tired. Thats him. He's tired by like round 3 but he still throws punches. Still, you can see the tiredness and the fight is nowhwere near as good from that point on. The Winky-Taylor fight was much more exciting. I still havent seen the Berto fight except for pieces of it but even that fight seemed better from the short stuff I watched. You could say that the Taylor fight was closer which makes it better but it still doesnt make it exciting. After round 2, the fight settled into a long lull of just solid boxing with no steam to it
                    That's your judgement bro, but this this fight had me shouting when Kelly KOed Taylor so I find it more exciting than any other fights and it deserves a good rate.

                      Don't argue. You'd really be ****** to argue Fake Floyd running like a chicken from a vastly outclassed Baldomir.

                      Even if you're Einstein.
