Jermain's chin

[MELLY-MEL...]

after roy was brutally koed by tarver and came back many said it was way to early, and his chin was not ready for both pysical and mental reasons! could that be true, and possible for jermaine? discuss!

[starjammer]

Yeah thats a good point. The way I see it though, Roy didn't take an immediate rematch with Tarver, he went for Johnson. Johnson surprised the hell out of him, and most the boxing world by fighting a great fight...

My point is, Jermain's jumping right back in, something Roy didnt. So, mentally, he has to be right. I believe he is ready. (weigh in for fight 1, Jermain looked away first, nervous, giddy, whatever. Tonight, he's focused on the prize.)

As for the chin, its just a physical matter. Miranda and Zertuche were blown away, so I personally wouldnt draw any conclusions on Taylors chin from a fight with Pavlik. If he gets taken down again, its no weakness on him, Pavlik has just got that super shot.

Taylor is ready!!!

His chin is not that bad. It's just that if you punch way at it he'll go down. He took some really great shots with Pavlik and fought back well. It's just in the end he got hit too much.

Taylor's chin is cracked, this fight Pavlik with break it.

not saying his chin is bad at all, but he was koed and they say after a ko it takes time to shake it off! has enough time passed?

Taylor got a great chin. Kelly is a monster. Hard hitting mother****er.

I think honestly it bothered him for a while. But once his kid was born I think he got over it.

[Silencers]

Depends how mentally prepared he is. If he's mentally OK, then his chin should be fine.

pavlik was the hardest puncher he has ever fought, and taylor fought like a moron. His defense ****** ass, he let Pavlik land too many jabs. I'm pretty sure he won't be ****** this time when he fights, he fought and didn't box at all in the first fight. I don't give a **** what the score-cards had said, taylor was losing on the score cards because he allowed pavlik to get his jab going. I hope Taylor either box smart and wins a UD, or kos pavlik in early rounds.
