If Taylor doesn't KO Pavlik

[Technical_Skill]

If he fights an extremely cautious fight he has a chance to get a decision, I don't rule that out. But he could never win an action packed fight with this kid

I pretty much agree with everything you said above and in that other post,

My heart says Taylor will take him by wide decision, and part of my head says taylor will jab and move him to a decision, but thats based on taylor making big stylistic changes. The reality is that while is nearly a pick'em fight, if Pavlik gets a few rounds behind, he will rush taylor, back him up and hit him, everyone has a plan till they get hit, and pavlik hits hard, its really likely pavlik may knock him out again, perhaps even sooner.

Taylor with his left up can be a good fighter. But he's got to protect himself. It'll be the same after at SMW where he'll have mostly big hitters to go up against. He won't see another Wroght or Hopkins.

coincidently both of those had him going when they fought him & they are not really seen as Heavy Hitter's

Yeah that's why it was clear he was being protected (not just after Hopkins but before). A big hitter was going to get him, and Pavlik is a very big hitter

you could be right he was fighting 154 pound guys & he couldnt put them away ,that is why i dont think he will KO Pavlik he got lucky IMO if Pavlik hadnt have shown him his chin Pavik would nt have gone down

Hell the fact Taylor hit Pavlik on the button & did nt put him away tells u all u need to know about Pavlik's chin & his recouprative powers ,the guy aint chinny & Taylor aint no ****er the people who think he is gonna put Pavlik away are CRAZY imo

I'm going with Taylor by KO. I think Taylor will box more and use his jab more in this fight.

I'm picking Taylor in 1. If Taylor doesn't KO Pavlik, then you can BUMP this thread and make fun of me all you want.

That's how sure I'm about the rematch and also I will not pick a fight wrong in 2008, my psychic powers are back.

You must have that thong on too tight again...

We might as well start now. Taylor should have never taken the rematch.
Pavlik is a monster...

Well, I can tell this fight is going to generate a **** load of betting; and not just points betting.
