[77Ritchie77]

if uyou judge fights based on "how their faces look" you're totally wrong and dont know what your talkin about

[bishop2006]

Wait...ESPN scored the 12th round for Taylor?????

[bishop2006]

Pavlik dominated the punch stats, throwing 845 total blows to Taylor's 456, with both landing a roughly equal percentage. Pavlik's jab was the difference, with 484 of them keeping Taylor at bay despite the Arkansas native's edge in power punches.

"I thought he was doing a pretty good job," Taylor said. "I knew it was a close fight, but I guess he won the last couple of rounds. He's a strong fighter, and I give him a lot of credit."

That basicly sums it up,so does this poll,so does HBO,Setanta and the ringside press who had Pavlik winning,ESPN had Taylor 115-113 but they scored the 12th for TAYLOR?! What where they watching? Pavlik had Taylor holding and hurt in the 12th,theres no way he won the 12th

I had Pavlik winning 116-113,Taylor wasnt active enough,he fought in burst,where as Pavlik fought the whole 3 minutes,and OUT JABED Taylor,Pavlik sealed the victory by winning the last 2 rounds

115-113 or more for Pavlik. Compubox numbers also give a clear advantage to Pavlik.
