Round By Round: Pavlik vs. Taylor II

[Darkstar]

I Called it Taylor fought like a ***** and above all just wanted to finish the 12. Pavlik pushed the action and won without questions.

[Thunder Lips]

Wow, this is oddly how I predicted their first meeting would go. Taylor did well but was really just hanging on in the end and deceptively took alot of punishment, respect for finishing the fight on his feet. Pavlik cruised in this, outworking and outboxing Taylor convincingly.

I scored it 116=115 Pavlik. Taylor didn't throw enough but looked good countering in some rounds. Taylor lost but Pavlik really isn't that good is he?

Both guys were much more cautious than they were the first time round.

[Chrismart]

I tried to get a few hours sleep before the fight and ended up sleeping throught the first 5 rounds.
From what i saw it looked a little closer than what the judges scored it.

[Drunk Punch]

Way too much respect shown by both guys in this fight. I thought Taylor would hunt Pavlik like a wounded animal, but I guess he just didn't believe in himself enough.

Mijares fight was awesome... he's steadily becoming one of my favorite active fighters. Also Montiel is a monster!

pavliks power is no joke...if taylor would have done that then i think pavlik would have catch him and would have ended on a ko :P

Actually that's the point I was making. Taylor was too frightened of getting KO'd again to let unleash. He showed Pavlik too much respect IMO. Pavlik just did what he had to, nothing more or less.
