Taylor-Pavlik Rematch

[HappyBoxingFan]

Taylor seemed really nervous throughout the first fight. I think if he can be focused, play it safe and not waste too much energy like the first time, he could get a decision.

Focused? I don't know... I love Taylor. He thinks like a fighter not like a businessman. He was told not to excercise this and he did. He gave Bernard Hopkins a rematch. He fought ossuma and spinks, two guys NO ONE wanted to fight. (BY THE BY: Somehow he got **** for that. What a load of ****. He clearly won both fights... this makes me pretty angry... This guy fights the guys people say have the best chance to beat him and then he gets criticized for it. Ridiculous.) I think he's probably my second favorite fighter behind Pavlik. I don't think focused is the right word though... He's coming off his first professional loss... he just had a baby... new weight... new trainer. I still think he has a great chance. He's one of the best fighters in the world.

i think taylor has the more natural talent... and i think hes hungrier than ever to show people what he can do... i think this fight will write a different story... but pavlik is a beast

[DrewWoodside]

I can't wait for Taylor not to fight Pavlik so i can back him fully!

Damn, sems like Taylor is a big underdog in this fight.

yeah, that is until the judges get a hold of the fight.

the official scoring of the fight last time was a travesty of judging a fight.

again, pavlik's only chance at winning will be by stopping taylor.

Agreed. Taylor can't lose a decision.

Agree there, Pavlik doesn't look it but he's a ferocious fighter, I like him alot. Thinking about getting all his fights on dvd so I can see some of his earlier stuff. Still edging towards Taylor on this one though.

I have Pavlik wining this in similar fashion to the first fight.

[HappyBoxingFan]

Well... let me say this... I don't see a decision coming. Both guys have too much pride, the right kind of pride (suprisingly rare in boxing). No one is going to coast for the last four rounds and say I hope i don't get knocked out... These guys are ****ing warriors. I know we've all turned a little pessimistic in predicting fights... but this one will surpass the first. Multiple knockdowns. I don't see it going to far past seven or eight rounds.

[DrewWoodside]

They're Rocky and Apollo, possibly with more character than Apollo.

[The Hammer]

Pavlik will win this by KO. He'll be even stonger at 166...

Taylor should have moved on to super middleweight.
