It's satirical.

The point is, HBO are not interested in Taylor-Froch, yet they will show Pavlik-Rubio and mismatches like Cotto-Jennings.

HBO's pimp hand is strong.

Hopefully SHOWTIME will pick up the Froch-Taylor fight. Each opponent has a good chance at victory compared to a missmatch like Kessler vs Taylor or Froch vs Kessler.

You see Kessler-Taylor as a mismatch? How come?

Kessler is more fluid than Pavlik with his combinations and is naturally bigger than both of them. He also has a good Jab that could set up a big right hand.

IMO Kessler is a better version than Pavlik and we all seen what Kelly did to Taylor. It may sound like a triangle theory but styles do make fights and Kessler is all wrong for Tyalor at this stage. He needs to fight someone with power at supermiddle IE Froch or Bute before going after Kessler.

The super-middleweight division is pretty interesting right now. Regardless of that, I am pretty sure HBO picks this up. It should be free, regardless of the two names (in different fights) being the only draw. Nonetheless, I guess I'll just watch the replay.

I know what you mean, Kessler is bigger and stronger, and has a good jab+right hand like Pavlik, but his style is different. Pavlik comes forward a lot more, whereas Kessler tends to spend more time in the centre of the ring, which gives Taylor a good chance of circling him, moving, jabbing, and winning rounds.

Taylor has good movement and fast hands, which will give Kessler quite a bit of trouble IMO.
