Jermaine Taylor is a Dead Man Walking

[boxing_pundit85]

i think Taylor is going to win. When he is against the ropes, a bell in his head seems to go off. He fights back, fights harder. If anything Jermain Taylor is, metaphorically speaking, against the ropes. The other reason that Taylor will win is because let me remind you, before Pavlik caught him offgaurd with a LUCKY PUNCH, Taylor was up on the scorecards.

i have a feeling he is going to bet "lucky" again

The biggest mistake of Taylor's life was when he made a rematch clause to face Pavlik in a rematch at 166, he basically signed his own death warrant. Kelly Pavlik will be much stronger at 166 and he will have even more power, the PPV should be called Deja Vu in Atlantic City, Kelly Pavlik will win by brutal KO again.

if kp will have more power and be stronger at 166 then why doesnt he move to super-middle asap?

those punches were anything but lucky. pavlick was just too strong for him. I dont like taylor's chances in the rematch

Pavlik should win this easly. Nothing to see really, only more of the same. I might check out this fight though.

jermain is gonna come out firing. i dont see him losing again in the rematch

If taylor can go out there and throw everything he has in the 1st and 2nd round, he has a chance of knocking pavlik out, if he doesnt knockout pavlik by then, he'll be ko'ed in the third by pavlik. But at least we'll get the second coming of hagler/hearns.

Jermain wanted to prove a point in the first fight by slugging it out with Pavlik rather than give him a boxing lesson. I'm a huge fan of Pavlik and his fights are never boring to me, but I think Jermain will come prepared. Jermain is a good boxer and if he can go back to what he was this fight will be a lot more competitive, although it might run the risk of being a little more dull. Jermain used to be great at circling and controlling the fight with his unusually effective jab. Pavlik will be just as motivated as ever and isn't a person that underestimates his opponents.

I'm not betting on a winner and I think that Pavlik will have to chase him more to get that KO. If Taylor is succesful at boxing rather than brawling he might score a decision or very late stoppage if he manages to frustrate Pavlik.

I think Taylor takes him.

[Tyson Jones]

MY heart says taylor, my head says pavlik. Im hoping taylor wins although I like watching pavlik fight. IF taylor loses again my ko, its because he is a man and he wanted to simply fight. I see nothing wrong with that at all. Either get knocked out or konck the guy out to give the fans what they want. Not many fighters are like that.
