    Did anyone else thinkg Pavlik was all hype in the 2nd rd?

    That's the first thing that went through my mind when I saw him get rocked. I was like, oh ****, he's all hype, the Miranda fight was a joke, and he's about to get laid out in only the 2nd rd. Man he got balls to survive that round. I still don't know how he did it. At one point he was reeling backwards with no legs after he got back up and got tagged again. I'm so glad he proved he wasn't just hype.

    Well the first thing I thought was "don't let it be Wlad-Sanders again"

      Seriously, I didn't think he was all hype after I saw how well he was using the jab-straight combos-- and how wicked the jabs were-- in the first and the early part of the 2nd. IN my eyes he won the first and was winning the second before he took it flush...

      Many of the best of 'em fall when they get tagged and so I did not really take it against Pavlik. He surprised me though that he survived and that he came back in the manner that he did in the 3rd.

        I felt that a little at the second round.

        But...I would say I was more shocked at Taylor's performance. I've only seen his last five fights and the way he was boxing those first couple rounds surprised me. I thought "wow, he is a lot better than i remember!"
