WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik met the New York City press today to officially announce his February 16th clash with Jermain Taylor at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The bout will be a non-title rematch at a catchweight of 166 lbs. "I'll still go into the fight like a title is on the line," said Pavlik. "That zero on my record has been there a long time and I want to keep it there....there's going to be fireworks in the ring, just like the first fight. You know what's going to happen in the next fight. I'm going to be there, I'm going to throw a lot of punches. What am I going to do that's different? Nothing!"

"He fought a great fight and I have all the respect in the world for him but he did take something of mine," said Taylor by phone from Little Rock, Arkansas. "I made a lot of mistakes in that [first] fight. I'm not making any excuses, but I'll make up for it the next time." Taylor remained home because his wife, Erica, gave birth to their third child last night.

In other news, Pavlik's promoter Bob Arum revealed that Kelly will likely defend his world titles against popular contender John Duddy in June.
I got Pavlik winning again,but i think he should switch it up a bit for the 2nd fight,Taylor knows what to expect,and will train to work on it and try fix what went wrong
