You had taylor up? After the fight was over Taylor said that he felt like he was losing on the score cards and that the judges had it wrong.In order for Taylor to have been beating Pavlik "easily" you would have had to given Taylor either round 1, or round 3, 2 rounds Pavlik clearly won.
Taylor was winning when the fight was stopped, he was up by one point on my scorecard for the knockdown. 2 points at the very highest, anyone who gave him a higher than 2 point lead wasn't paying attention to the punches Pavlik was blocking.Comment

I had him a point up 2. JT seems 2 lack confidence in his work in the ring, after the Winky fight he seemed HAPPY with the draw in a CLOSE fight that most champs would have been ADAMENT they won - i had him sneaking that fight by a point actually!Comment

Yup, I'm non biased and I saw Taylor's handspeed getting a 1-2 point lead over Kelly with the knockdown. Just because I prefer Pavlik to Taylor doesn't mean I'm going to say Pavlik was murdering him. It was a close fight.Comment

Don't you agree his hand speed and stamina is nowhere near as good as it was back when he fought B-Hop? He seemed so slow that night, only slightly quicker than Pavlik.Comment

I'm just telling you what Taylor said after the fight. Did you see the interviews right after the fight? Where Taylor gave Kelly his props and was a gentleman... So, what you're basically saying is that Taylor gave Kelly too much props, because Taylor felt like Pavlik was ahead. Atleast at that time, maybe after he went home and watched the fight, he had himself winning. I had him winning by points too in some ways, but its just weird that after the fight is over he says some **** like I felt like I was losing on the cards.Comment

I would say that point is valid.
Yeah I saw Jermain say he thought he was losing. I think he was just way too cautious and caught up in his emotions though. My take is that he's already pissed off enough people and he didn't want to go on as some ****y ******* who just lost, trying to discredit his opponet. It would only hurt his image even further.I'm just telling you what Taylor said after the fight. Did you see the interviews right after the fight?

Taylor was up but only by a point or two. It was a very close fight and definitely the best Middleweight fight of the past 10+ years IMO.
In a rematch taylor will look to box on the outside more, use his jab a bit more and keep Kelly at bay. Kelly will go right for Taylor from the opening bell and he won't get over confident and start taunting Jermain and end up being knocked down like he did in the first fight.Comment
