Taylor: "I Want Everything Pavlik Took"

He will still lose. You can tell he couldn't take Pavlik's power...he was getting shaken even by Pavlik's jabs.Comment

One thing I will say about this fight--it's pretty amazing to see how heavily favored Pavlik seems to be among hardcore fans. Weight aside (some think it will favor one fighter over the other, I'm of the opinion it will help both), this is still a very competitive fight and Taylor has a very good chance to win.
I was very high on a Taylor win in the first fight, and in round two it sure looked like that was going to happen.
Can you imagine the way things would look now in the MW division had Taylor finished Pavlik off or if Smoger would have stopped it? Taylor would be top 5 P4P everywhere and would be training for a PPV showdown against Calzaghe. Instead, he is being given very little chance in this rematch and most are predicting he will never win another title, since 168 is so stacked and he will (presumably) being coming off two KO's, perhaps ruining his mentally and physically. They talk about baseball being a sport of milliseconds, this is more drastic.
I have NO idea what to expect in this fight. I think it could be ANYTHING from Pavlik TKO1 to Taylor TKO1 to wide UDs for EITHER guy.Comment

That's really interesting, if taylor won the fight in that decisive nature he would be hailed as a true champion and all his previous close fights would have been granted more respect. Instead he has to move up in weight and potentially come off of two devastating losses. Even if he wins the fight he's got a helluva task ahead of him.One thing I will say about this fight--it's pretty amazing to see how heavily favored Pavlik seems to be among hardcore fans.
