Taylor wins the rematch in my eyes. If he wasnt so ***ing ****** hed have won the first one, but this time he makes no mistakes and either boxes smart for 12 rounds or catches Kelly again, I cant see Pavlik doing this twice. Anyone fancy a bet?

I think Taylor can win, but it will on the cards in a controversial decision if he does.

I dont think he can hurt Pavlik again. He got really lucky with that overhand right, cause Pavlik and Lowell both admit that they got lazy and he left a single jab out to long when he should have been doubling it up.

He should come in more condident and i think he will dominate jermain taylor.

BUT, Taylor poses JUST as much a threat as he did last time IMO.

Also, after lookin over the first fight, i think that the 2nd one could be a real snooze. Could also be the complete opposite though, obviously, like the first fight

this should be a GREAT fight.

They did very well in their first fight.

I think the way the fight ends this time will be the same as it did last time...by a KO or even a TKO.

im just not sure on which guy i think will win.

Taylor did pretty well in the first fight. he had pavlik knocked down and VERY close to getting the fight called off by the ref. pavlik had no legs under him.

his mistake was after he knocked pavlik down he was so anxious to finish him off that he made many mistakes and starting to swing punches like a wildman.

had he kept composuer he could have finished him.

pavlik did great too...he recovered from that knockdown and came right back. i give pavlik tons of credit for staying cool under pressure and going back to work on taylor.

they both fought like champions that night.

i dont expect anything short of amazing for the rematch.

still undecided on who wins it.

should be a GREAT fight though.


for boxing's sake it would be best if taylor won and forced a trilogy.

that would be a HUGE ppv in my opinion.

Heres a question for you:

If Taylor wins the rematch, who wins the trilogy?

In different terms, who do we think can learn the most from their defeat?

I'd have to go with Taylor, hes the better all around boxer, but Pavliks power is incredible.

.....This one is definitely a PPV buy instead of a Sopcast deal.
