what you failing to realize yourself is that while Pavlik may have MORE of a harder time making weight Taylor isn't too far behind, they BOTH have hard times making weight and you also fail to realize this, who is Jermain Taylor's worst critic? answer: himself, another question, what does Emmanuel Steward do when he feels the fight is close and wants him to step it up? any trainer for that matter? answer: tells them they losing the fight..
right now Taylor's pride is hurt like a mother****er, he even decided to put championships to the side and just make sure he is at his MOST comfortability, not only does he have ACTUAL experience against Pavlik he knows when he will be in a position to pay, he wont be so willing to sit up in them corners and strike back yo his initial reaction would be to move his ass out of there, Taylor was winning the fight yo when I hear People saying Pavlik won they be like "His face was even swelling up by the end of the first" and "eating jab after jab after jab while most of his shots were being blocked.", seems to me they were only watching 1 man fighting that night then because they overlooked Round 2, Round 5 and like 2 or 3 more that I can't recall right now, Pavlik was well enough behind that he needed to step it up, which he did..
thing is though Taylor can Box better than Pavlik it's just Kelly's longer arms combined with his great jab makes it hard on Taylor, Taylor just needs to move his head better and not just jerk his neck left to right, actually weave when he weaves, really bob when he bob's and basically repeat the last fight and go into counter punch city, people under estimate Jermain's power, even Pavlik slept on it cuz what he said at the interview? "the kid hits like a mule", not you tell me how much harder do you think this mule is going to come into the fight?
truth be told I fell under the impression that Taylor slept on Pavlik for a while, that once he stepped in front of him all that bull**** he was talking before the fight ****ed him up, he had no answers for Kelly regardless what they trained for because in the heat of the battle that **** flies out of the window when you hit with some **** you don't expect.. I say Jermain comes back twice as hard and if nothing else he will finish the fight on his feet, I think he learned from getting caught up in them ropes and even though he didn't switch up for "head"-hop he also wasn't made to pay for his mistakes, had he lost and had real adversity in front of him like he does with Kelly Pavlik, an undefeated, young, primed lion who's hunger is maxed out he would've had to come better in the rematch which I feel he will..
I don't expect y'all to read this all but read this though, Taylor paid a big price for engaging with the bigger man, at times he was supposed to Box Pavlik he moved straight back with no head movement and tried to hit Kelly while doing so, in turn allowing Pavlik's longer overhand the chance to land and due to his lack of good upper lateral movement he was hit with the shots that changed his momentum, add that to this fact that in round 2 he waisted so many punches and got too excited when he thought he had a beaten opponent in front of him. these are Ametuer mistake's and Taylor is no Ametuer, he CAN adapt it's just a shame he had to get KO'ed in a fight he was winning to be forced to do it.. I'm not saying Taylor is going to win, I may have found myself saying that in the past but Pavlik is a tough dude, I gotta re-analyze the 1st fight to say for sure who I pick BUT I'm just saying don't be so quick to throw Taylor out of the mix, Taylor is a beast too. 100
