Jermain's fans are worse than Jermain himself

Taylor lost, i fthis fight was 15 rounds, Taylor would've been in a coma. It was a close fight. But Kelly's jab was on kew all night. He didn't land the right as cleanly though and remembered to start going to the body only by the 11th. Taylor on the other hand was backing up, when throwing he had some success but his spurts became less frequent as the fight progressed. I guess he was afraid of what could come after. Taylor can not win rounds on one or two spurts per round where two flush shots land. Taylor lost by at least 2 rounds in my eyes and he looked ready to go in the 11th, even after the bell he had a hard time on his stool. I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a broken rib.

Im by no means a Taylor fan but I had him winning that one. The only thing I like about Taylor is I respect he wanted a rematch so quickly. I think its great he threw caution and his record into the wind to fight for pride.

All I did was state that if it went to the cards, I expected it to favor Taylor, as is so often the case in Jermain's Career. (See both Hopkins fights, the Wright fight, and some would even say the Spinks fight)

It just seems than anytime a fight goes to the card Jermain is always the winner, couple that with the insane scoring of their first fight (I had Taylor ahead by 1 point at the time of the KO, 2 would've been fine also) but not the large gaps that the judges had, with Pavlik winning only 1 round.

In the first fight Kelly had to have won at least 3, the first, the third and the fifth.

did u have Taylor infront though at that point ,even Jack Lowe knew Taylor was winning and in control at that stage

Bringer,

I respect yo bro but Hopkins is going to try to make it an ugly and dirty fight and he would still lose by a wide margin cause JCal can be just as dirty. Don't bet on it!

People have every reason to think Taylor won 7 rounds of this fight.

stop it.

its crazy enough to believe he won.. but outboxed?

its not just taylor fans... i'm not a taylor fan

if kelly won then why is evrybody everywhere screaming robbery? (regardless of skintone)

wasnt a robbery dude...

I live in Arkansas, and around here the Taylor fans are typical Razorback fans. Taylor lost- lots of bitching; Hogs lost- lots of bitching; on and on and on...

Taylor is nothing but class, his fans on the other hand, they're a little koo-koo.

I'm thinking that these whining Taylor fans are no worse than these blind Pavlik fans. Kelly won a close decision. He didn't out box anyone Saturday...not sure what fight everyone else was watching but I saw Jermain make loads of improvements and execute a good game plan. I think he lost because Pavlik simply outworked him by throwing more and the judges went with the more active fighter who moved forward rather than the man who landed the harder shots and was more accurate-which doesn't make the decision a robbery. I also wouldn't say Kelly closed the show impressively like you said, either, though.

Bias goes both ways. Taylor fans and Pavlik lovers are both a little slanted here. Objective is not a word I often feel when browsing this forum.

Taylor fought in spurts and though his punches looked flashier they were not all landing....he never overcame pavliks jab which hit him at will...i had the fight a draw in the tenth... pavlik took round 11 with that body blow(which if that round had been longer he wouldnt have made it)...Pavlik outworked him in the 12...no way jermain won(not all his flashy spurts were hitting the target)
