Any one else score Pavlik vs Taylor 2 for Taylor?

[marvelousmatt]

I scored it for Taylor 115-113.

It was a close fight, who ever says Pavlik won in a definitive manner probably never watched the fight.

ESPN:
Dan Rafael scored the bout 114-114.
Kieran Mulvaney scored the bout 115-113 for Taylor.
Darius Ortiz scored the bout 115-113 for Pavlik.

For the record, Fat Dan is an excellent writer and is good for boxing. He is a horrible judge. He is the same guy that had Mayweather beating Canelo 12-0. Even Money and his loud mouth dad said that he lost 3 rounds in the fight. I had that fight 8-4 Money.

I had it close..Felt it could have went either way,I believe I had Taylor up as well..When the cards were read,I remember feeling like..Ok,I it was a close good fight imo..I would not have been mad with either getting the nod..

I'd have to go back and rewatch, but I seem to remember thinking this was a clear Pavlik victory. I was a huge JT fan at the time too.

Has dan Rafael ever made a prediction for a fight?

I just can't see how it could be scored for Taylor, and I love the guy. Some people were saying that he was up against Abraham before the KO, and I can't see that either.

No, but he did a lot better than he was given credit for. I tried to tell people that but at the time there was a weird infatuation with Abraham going on. What bothered me most was every time Abraham got hit to the body he would complain to the ref that he was getting hit low, JT was eventually warned after Abraham kept faking it and he stopped going to the body.
