    Taylor-Pavlik 2! The winner is???

    Pavlik all the way. Taylor is coming with too much pressure under his shoulders.
    Pavlik by spectacular knock out.

      That 2nd round you saw the first fight won't happen again. I'm 100000% sure.

        Pavlik by KO. Alot of people think the extra 6 pounds will only benefit Taylor, but Pavlik has been struggling to make 160 as well. Pavlik will be stronger at 166 and I see Pavlik KOing Taylor easier in the rematch.

            Well I did see some improvement in Taylor last fight. I think a large part of why he lost was because he showed inexperience trying to finish Pavlik in the 2nd Round.
            I'm pulling for Taylor cause I'd like to see a Rubber Match. But I think it's a pick-em fight, both guys have shown that they can hurt the other suddenly and possibly fight ending. Both guys have skills but in different areas.
            I think Taylor is the better counter-puncher, but Pavlik is the better aggressor with a sustained attack for a full 3 minutes, and he works much better behind the jab. Pavlik's punches are straighter, Taylor still has a problem looping his right.

              For his sake I hope Taylor doesn't get KOed again. If so his career is over.

                Taylor can't keep up with Pavlik's stamina and work rate.
                Taylor better do something early or he'll get knocked out of the ring.

                  It is not 100%, by any means. Taylor has the ability to outbox Pavlik for 12 rounds, and may even catch Kelly like he did in the first fight (though much less likely.) I see the extra 6 pounds helping the taller, longer Kelly slightly more (even though Jermain asked for it.)

                  If Jermain loses this one, I think the best thing for him to do is move up to light heavy and retire Bernard for good, make it three in a row.
