BHop was only exposed if you accept that Taylor was exposed. Remember, your new sherriff. He wasn't. He did well tonight, nearly KO'd Pavlik and was ahead on most scorecards. Kudos to Pavlik for showing a lot of balls in coming back from the brink, but Taylor put up a good fight. There'll be a rematch. |

I called it...Pavlik TKO7Anyways, great fight and I have a tremendous amount of respect for both Jermain Taylor and Kelly Pavlilk. Had Jermain been able to follow up and measure his shots more, we may have had Taylor TKO2. |

Props to JT, he fought with a lot of heart. However, the outcome was just as I predicted.

Great fight, for both guys. Instant classic! Was rooting for Pavlik, and thought the judges scoring, up to the point of stoppage, was complete bullshit. I KNEW Pavlik had to KO Taylor, to win, but didn't think he'd do it. This fight has restored some of the respect I'd lost for it, after Mayweather/DLH and Hatton/Castillo.

![]() Taylor just wasn't as good as the HBO hype made him out to be, and his chin was always a bit questionable after Hopkins rocked him and he went straight to fighting soft hitting lighter weight fighters. THAT'S what Pavlik "exposed." Sorry, HBO - you can't get your post-boy a gift decision when he's annihilated on the canvas!![]() |

A little over-rated by some (especially the present version) but he's one of the best middles ever and he's had a great career. I hope you're not still sore about his KO of Tito? |
