Anyone think, Taylor could win by a bad UD?

I think if it goes to the cards, Taylor will win the fight whether he deserves it or not.

And the decision will cause much comotion because the first was a difficult fight to score.

Many experts had Taylor outboxing Pavlik, many had Pavlik outpunching Taylor.

So we'll see. I think something controversial could go down for sure

I'm also sure if Taylor wins a close UD- a fair, yet very close decision- that people will jump up and down shouting robbery because they wanted Pavlik to win. I hope that whoever walks out the winner gets the credit they deserve. Especially because credit is all this fight, being at 166, is good for.

Taylor has had conditioning problems. I cant see him making it into the later rounds honestly. Kelly will wear him down and stop him. The only real chance I give Taylor is if he just comes out and goes for broke early and tries to knock Pavlik out. If the fight goes past 3 rounds I give Taylor no chance of winning.

I hate to read between the lines but I hope if Taylor wins a close fight- but actually wins- you give him credit. All Jermain can get out of this is some measure of lost pride and a bit of respect. Pavlik remains champion, anyway. If Pavlik wins he'll get credit. From me and I hope everyone else. I just really hope Jermain gets the same should he take it.

The cards weren't bull****. It's fine if you disagree but there are plenty of people who thought Jermain Taylor was genuinely winning the fight. How does Taylor have to take it for you to tip your hat to him? I'll admit he gets love from judges even when he has looked less than stellar, but I wouldn't go so far as to assume a decision in his favor is going to be a gift.

i think a bad decision, due to political reasons can go either way:

a taylor win would be a good setup for a 3rd match

but a pavlik win would continue the momentum he is having popularity wise, as an undefeated fighter

so hopefully these reasons for bias cancel each other out and they score it fairly

One of the judges, Julie Lederman, gave Pavlik only ONE round in the fight, the other two gave him two rounds. I'd say Julie's card was BS for sure.
