Who You Got: TAYLOR / PAVLIK???

[Kobe Bryant]

Unless Jermaine's defense has vastly improved, I see the same result.

[borikua]

I think Taylor wins the rematch on points...

[MoneyINC]

I gotta stick with Taylor he had the first fight won and i think he'll finish this
2nd fight off by TKO

[STEELHEAD]

figure there's going to be more defense in this one.
i see a long hard fight with fireworks.
not that you can tell but taylor has a lot more expierience against top opponents than pavlik. pavliks been getting away with drawing them in
to fight toe to toe no defense and has whooped them.overpowering.

but i'm going to believe jermaine again that he's going to keep his hands up and he's going to use his jab and he's not going to go straight back and pose and he's not going to throw anxious punches.
bull****.
it was anyones fight last time.
taylor has better skills . with more defense and poise he's going to show up pavlik and get the decision.

also how is pavlik handling all the hype and star statis in the hbo prefight bull.all the money!
and he has nothing to loose if he looses.
more big fights down the road for kelly with miranda.

taylors hungry.

I'm very surprised most of you have decommissioned Taylor as a fighter.

For some reason, this is an easy pick for me... - Taylor, as long as he sticks to his plan and doesn't do anything ******.

Taylor is a better boxer. He has been in with some of the greatest active fighters...

The way I see it.. He punched himself out in the second and things went downhill since.



TAYLOR - UD.

PS - Unless Pavlik wins again, and proves that his win was not a "lucky" one.. I'll believe in him. Until then, he is still a green fighter in my eyes who simply got lucky.
Sorry!

I mean...do you guys "really" think Taylor is going to sit there and box Pavlik all night??? He isn't Floyd Mayweather by any means. The second he gets hit with a right hand he's gonna try and trade with Pavlik. Taylor isn't that disciplined to go in and try to box Pavlik and take punishment at the same time.

Doesn't hurt to dream i guess...

Pavlik 5th round KO

RL GMA no it doesnt

Taylor is the better natural athlete, and is faster! He is not a better boxer! not even close! he loses his mind when the fight starts, and abandons all he has trained for! Pavlik is a very text book fighter, and does all the little things that most do not notice! pavlik dispatched of everyone in his path thus far! he is far from green at this point! he is only 25, and has alot to learn! but to say he is green though is incorrect! he beat alot of very good fighters that were either unbeaten, and never knocked out b4 till they met the ghost! don't hate!

Taylor is not a good boxer, not even close....

This is why he was winning their first fight by a wide margin on the judges scorecards and in the judges eyes outboxed Hopkins in two of their fights..


Again... Sometimes there are those fights where I can't pick a clear winner.. (Mosley / Cotto was one of them) For some reason, I clearly see Taylor winning this one..

Call it a gut feeling, but it rarely does me wrong.

we all know the judges favor taylor in all his fights! if you think he was ahead on the cards in pavlik fight 4 real than i have nothing else to say. the fight was close, but the margin they had 4 taylor was a joke. ur gut will lose this time buddy!

Ah **** it, i'm going for Taylor. A close UD.

Pavlik. Hopefully by k.o. again.

As a person, I like Taylor alot. As a boxer, I can't stand him and I sort of wish he would just go away. I just never believed in the guy as a middleweight champion and his k.o. loss to the first true middleweight since being given the title confirms my feelings.

Taylor has talked about retirement long before most of us had even heard of Pavlik. He talked about being rich, not needing the sport, and not taking the chance of getting hurt permanently. I think it showed in the way he fought in most of his title defenses.

Pavlik seems to be the real deal. He really seems to have a thirst for physical combat and that is good for the sport. I suspect that big heart and appetite for mayhem will cost him a fight he should have won otherwise someday, but not this weekend against Jermain.

I must say that Taylor impressed me more in losing against Pavlik then he did in winning against any other opponents. If he still wants to fight at super-middleweight after the 16th, it will be okay as long as he fights people from that division rather than picking on smaller fighters. And no more gift decisions! The fact that the judges had him leading on the scorecards against Pavlik was disgusting.

Kelly and Jermain are both good people but Pavlik deserves his time to shine. Jermain already had a chance and he blew it. Taylor just isn't important enough for me to root for his own 2nd chance when Pavlik is making the most of his talents.

Pavlik KO 9.
