Jermain Taylor better buy some good track shoes for the Rematch

**Boxins'Leet** · 10-23-2007, 03:23 PM

Yeah, I see the fight the same way. Taylor will throw meaningless jabs and will be Gun Shy. Once he gets a taste of that right hand again, he'll put on his track shoes and try to survive. I still think Taylor could beat everyone at 160 except for Pavlik.

since when the hell has Jermain ever been a runner? his automatic instinct when he gets caught on the ropes is to explode forward with punches, he landed quite a few punches that way.

If Jermain was really so 'scared' he wouldnt have taken the rematch. Pavlik was already practically scheduled to fight Duddy and everything, its not even like Jermain was obligated to fight him.

Pavlik wasnt exactly flawless either. He was split seconds away from being stopped. Im sure he'll have that in mind, although I dont think it will affect him that badly.

Jermain is a nice guy. Why pick on him like this??

I don't care if Taylor is a nice guy, this isn't a personality contest. Taylor may be nice, but he is also borderline ******ed for accepting the rematch clause so soon. Taylor may not be scared of Pavlik right now, but he is gonna be ****ting himself on fight night. I am sure Taylor is currently having nightmares about getting KTFO.

Forget about that 2nd round knockdown, Pavlik was fighting carelessly leaving his chin open to get cracked and it almost cost him. Pavlik will not be careless in the rematch and he will destroy Taylor even worse with the additional weight.

what many of you don't realize is that it was Taylor's own flaws that allowed for a lot of that to slip threw, if he would have just stood out of those corners and never once get trapped in them he would have kept on fighting, if he would have lunged more when he bobbed and weaved those 1, 2 combo's from Pavlik would never have found home because not only would Taylor have been out of the way he would have been in postion to counter and mount his own offense but by just moving your head and pulling straight back (ending up on the ropes) he allows for the longer armed Pavlik to come in and have a party because if one 1,2 combo backed you up the other one directly after that will do the same..

Taylor for the most part was winning the fight he just lost the mental battle, long story short Taylor has to do the following to win A) stay off the ropes B) move his head better C) grab BOTH arms when he clinches D) don't expend so much energy on shots that will land on the arms and elbows because when time comes to land the face and body shots he will be punched out E) take a knee next time he's hurt like that.. everything else he can pretty much do the same because it was working for him, even with all his mistakes he was winning the fight so imagine with the improvements at a bigger weight, he just has to fight his fight and not let Pavlik's gumby frame trouble him, be patient and use the A threw E improvements I wrote above to out do Pavlik..

either way he deserves WAY more respect than whats being shown to him because it takes a confident man to come straight at his conqueror without any tune up as if to say I should have won and now I will, if not that then he deserves respect for being a class act and giving all respect to Pavlik, accepting his loss and keeping it pushing.. 100

Taylor better find a pair of good track shoes because he is gonna be running for his life in the rematch. The only way Taylor will make it 12 rounds is if he turns into Michael Johnson and sprints around the ring away from Pavlik. Taylor is gonna do everything in his power to stay off the ropes because we all know by now that if you fight off the ropes against Pavlik, you are going to sleep with the fishes. If you think Mayweather's running is bad, it might be nothing compared to the track meet Taylor will put on in the Rematch. Mark my words, Taylor will not exchange with Pavlik and he will not go toe to toe, he is scared ****less of Pavlik now and he is probably having nightmares every night about what happened to him on Sept.29. Even if Taylor runs, he is still ****ed because Pavlik's long tree trunk jab and missile right hand are gonna find Taylor's chin and put him to sleep again.

Kelly Pavlik by brutal 5th round KO

Taylor actually fought Pavlik very well off of the ropes...

to me his main problem was simply holding his left low while standing still in front of Pavlik...

Taylor has decent defense and head movement

What are you talking about, Taylor has below average defence. He keeps that left hand way too low, leaving his chin exposed for a powerful missile right hands from Pavlik. Taylor obviously has a Death wish.
