The difference is that Jones was on his way to stopping Montel while Jermain was ktfo.YEAH FOR JERMAIN TAYLOR. HE HAS THAT FIRE BACK. REMEMBER ROY JONES AND MONTELL GRIFFEN. MONTELL HUNG WITH ROY THE FIRST FIGHT AND WAS ACTUALLY WINNING OR A HAD A DRAW AT THE TIME WHEN THE FIGHT WAS STOPPED. WHAT HAPPENED WHEN ROY CAM BACK FULLY MOTIVATED AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME HE WON EASILY. I THINK THE SAME WILL BE FOR JERMAIN. JERMAIN WILL OUTBOX HIM EARLY, **** WITH HIM LATE, DROP HIM ONCE OR TWICE AND WIN AN EASY DECISION 116-110 WITH THE 2 KNOCKDOWNS.Comment

Taylor did throw an elbow.
Big deal.
You watch enough boxing you get used to illegal tactics.
I don't think much of it unless it's extreme (Pedroza-Laporte, Gainer-Norwood, Golota-Bowe, etc..)Comment

Are you serious? You can't see it? Watch again real close just before Taylor throws the two punches that actually put Pavlik down, you can see him throw a massive purposeful left elbow that Pavlik blocks. After that Pavlik drops his hands and goes to say something, which I imagine would be along the lines of "What the **** was that?" but instead gets caught with those shots that put him down. It's very, very, very, very obvious. I don't know how you could miss it. They showed it about ten times on the replay of the KD.Comment

Taylor absolutely caught Pavlik with an elbow. No question. But here’s the thing. Many people, including—I believe—Jack Lowe—say the mistake Pavlik made was sticking his chin out as if to say “is that all you got?” while what others saw was he got clocked with an elbow and glanced at the ref (or maybe Taylor) to complain. Split second. Which is all it took. The sequence of punches/elbow speaks to Pavlik’s mental coolness under pressure. First, he’s able to recognize he got elbowed. Second, he has no problem calling attention to this—in the midst, mind you, of an all out assault by the then middle-weight champion of the world—and last , when he does finally catch that equilibrium shot and goes down he bounces right—and watch it: right back up . Granted: without legs. But mentally 100%. Nevertheless, I stick with my long shot: Taylor by UD. And no controversy. Happy to be proved wrong in any scenario. Looking forward to what should be a damn good fight.Comment

Maybe if Kelly didn't try to hold Taylor so much and bull forward he would not have got hit with the elbowsComment

Yes, good observations. That is exactly how I saw it really. Though I thought he stuck his chin out to say "WTF?".Taylor absolutely caught Pavlik with an elbow. No question. But here’s the thing.

I see about 10 clean punches landing there with maybe 2 elbows used to push Kelly's ARMS out of the way as Kelly falls in hurt...
elbows didn't stun Kelly..clean punches didComment
