Will Taylor come out gun-shy, cautious of Pavlik's right hand?
Or Will Taylor come out willing to walk through hell itself?
Why would he even want to try to walk through hell?
Jermain Taylor isn't going to win if he takes more punches than Pavlik. He's going to have to get on his toes, dominate the jabbing contest and land enough power shots to keep Pavlik honest. If Pavlik is landing bombs consistently Taylor will lose.
Taylor's going to come out strong, and jump right on Kelly in the way he did in the first fight. He feels like he's got something to prove to not only his fans, but also himself so I don't see him tiptoeing around the ring or taking his time. I expect him to try to maul Pavlik, and I expect that to be his downfall.
I won't be surprised to see Kelly hit the canvas again but he's a tough kid and he can take a punch, he will get up and recover from whatever Jermain throws at him. Jermain on the other hand, will crumble under fire from Pavlik's pressure and punching power.
