PAVLIK by KO10 is my Prediction, yours???

[ELPacman]

I also said I was going with Pavlik by KO10. I think Taylor is in good enough condition this time around to last until the 10th. But...I think eitherway, Pavlik's punches will get to Taylor and he'll be worn out and taken out in the 10th. It's gonna be a war up until then though, guaranteed.

Final prediction in here. So nobody can say they changed there mind and actually picked the other guy last second. I Hate it when people do that

I expect Taylor to be extremely dangerous in the first 4 rounds and Pavlik doesn't react well yet to acitivity. I think Taylor should and will jump Pavlik right from the start and throw lots on body punches.

I could definetly see this one ending in the first 4 or 5 rounds in favor of TAYLOR.

I CANNOT however, see Pavlik winning this fight early. People mistake him for a massive puncher. He is a very strong puncher, but he scores such brutal KO's because he wears down his opponents and and softens them up for the KO.

After rounds 5 or 6 i think Taylor will start of fade again and i think Pavlik will start coming on strong with a stiff jab followed by a right.

One of the major mistakes Pavlik made in the first fight was not going to the body. I think he goes the body more and breaks Taylor down and by round 10 or 11 it should be over by KO.

If it goes to the cards i think Taylor will be the favorite to get the decision.

However, i have become a big fan or Taylors throughout this whole ordeal. He has shown so much class and comes off a such a real and good guy. I will definetly be rooting for Taylor in the future.

AND, like i said many times before and im wont go back on it now, i think Taylor would make a very big splash at 168, which would include a possible upset victory over Calzaghe, something i definetly think he is capable of. I think thats a tremendous matchup BTW.

im gonna 1 up you here and go with Pavlik by TKO in the 9th. nice assesment tho.

Taylor comes out fast trying to hurt Pavlik and get him out early. He has some minor success, and Jim Lampley will will say that Pavlik is rocked (at least once). Good first round for Taylor, as the second round begins Pavlik starts to really get his jab going and Taylor will start getting backed up and looking like a deer caught in headlights. Pavlik starts to unload on Taylor against the ropes. The round ends and Taylor looks worried. 3rd round starts and Taylor tries to come out fast again, but starts to get caught and backed up again. Good two way action, but a Pavlik round. 4th round starts and Pavlik really starts to connect on Taylor and gets him against the ropes. He opens up and drops Taylor after hitting him with several BIG clean shots. Taylor tries to get up, but the fight is waved off. One final note, the final shot that put Taylor down will be vicious...this will be the KO of the year.

Precition: Pavlik wins by KO in the 4th round in a good action filled fight.

I think Taylor will come out looking to get Pavlik out of there early, but I see Pavlik weathering the storm and coming back to knock Taylor out around the 6th.

Pavlik TKO 6.

[boxingknight]

taylor by 2nd round knockout... hahaha

[RichCCFC]

I've been changing my mind for a long time now and I don't think I will ever settle untill we're into the fight. My head says Pavlik. Appart from round 2 in their first fight Pavlik was in complete control and dominated the ring. I do however have feelings Taylor will come into this fight fully motivated for the first time in a while and will have a good game plan. The fight will be a lot different from the first and I actually see this going the distance. Prediction = Pavlik decision 115-113.

I will however be using my points to bet on Taylor because of the 2-1 odds being offered by some guy on here which I find ridiculous.

How ****ing right was I.

How ****ing right was I.

Nice prediction man.

The most possible outcomes IMO:

Pavlik mid/late rounds TKO (if Taylor folds under Pavlik's pressure)
Taylor early/mid rounds TKO (if Taylor manages to catch Pavlik before Pavlik's pressure catches up to him)
Pavlik comfortable UD (if Pavlik completely outworks and beats up Taylor)
Taylor close UD, MD or SD (if Taylor manages to control the pace with the jab unlike in his past fights)

I see Pavlik taking it by late rounds TKO, possibly a decision as well if Taylor is well-conditioned and tough enough to go the distance.

Here was mine, it was a bit off.
