ESPN's Round-By-Round Scorecard for Pavlik-Taylor

[fightingmajor]

Taylor was clearly winning the fight with much cleaner shots, but I only had him up by 3 pts.

60-53??? WTF? Absurd scoring - must have given JT credit for effective backing up 75% of the fight

Pavlik was ahead on my card, it was obvious that he was winning, even Harold Ledderman had the fight for Pavlik and he hates Euro fighters. The damned judges were crooked as usual. I said the Pavilk had to know out Taylor to win the fight and that is what happened.

Lederman hates Euro fighters? Even if this was true...it's not relevant cuz Pavlik is AMERICAN.

He does give a lot of 10-10 rounds...not that there is anything wrong with that, but I do see it.

That is exactly how I saw it; I thought Taylor was largely outboxing Pavlik. Making him miss and landing the cleaner punches.

But perhaps we were blinded/biased by that second round and started to automatically 'see' Jermain dominating while ignoring Pavlik's work. I'll have to watch the fight again.

[T.S.]

Taylor was down on his own scorecard. When asked by Larry Merchant during the post fight interview "Did you know you were ahead on all three cards"?
Taylor replied "Really? I thought I was losing".

Their all lieing because the big wigs no longer have control over the King who just dethroned the dethroner of many of Oscar's/HBO's big money fighters. Kinda like a financial domino effect.

Ruslan Chagaev fights out of Europe and Lederman is a big supporter of his...

I had Taylor winning by 2 or 3 points I think, it was a very hard fight to score tho, man I hate always getting fight results wrong
