:happy

 

Kelly will dictate this fight. Pavlik has much better technique. Taylor is too wild.

Check out some of these videos & see what I mean. The man downright knows how to fight & how to put people away. Who that Jermain KO'ed lately?

Yeah..you got a point ...but counter point..when has taylor been in the ring with a bum like zertuche..throwing lazy jabs with his back against the ropes.That is like asking to be knocked out..and the other guy was a complete scrub. Kind of hard to knockout bhop/winky/ouma/spinks. One nobody has never been done . the other three only once.

 

Those guys you mentioned that Taylor has built a reputation on don't impress me against Kelly. He KO's them, too.

Zertuche, my friend, had one SOLID chin. Was never KO'ed. Was never even down in his career, 'til he felt Pavliks power.

We'll see what happens...

 

Has Taylor ever been tagged and stunned pretty good in the past that anyone knows of? He seems like he would be impossible to catch. And does anyone know if the fight will be PPV?

 

Regular HBO...10:15pm ET, Sat. 9-29-07.

ENLOY!

 

They already have the promo billboard up on the way into AC as of last Friday.

gonna try to go to this one.

 

OMG awesome,,,,,I cant wait for this one! I think im going to put some money on Pavlik but I cant decide if I should throw down on him for the KO or not....? I just cant see Taylor getting caught against the ropes - he has awesome footwork and is very quick. I do believe Pavlik is the superior boxer though. He is just such a natural and makes it look so easy....ambidextrious with amazing power and is actually SMART unlike so many other boxers. Cant help but root for the guy! :good

 

Good post. Definitely go for the KO/TKO with your bet. Kelly will wear him down & find him. Thats all he does is KO people.
You made some good points about him that others have not. Yeah, he has superior boxing skills over JT, but your comment about him being "a natural" is so true & good that you brought this up. Thats why he's so confident. Did you see him entering the ring before the Miranda fight? He basically jogged to the ring, showing no nerves whatsoever against a formitable foe.
And to compliment his physical skills is his mental game. His SMARTS! He does nothing unnecessary in the ring. Everything has a purpose. He picks his shots beautifully & thats why 28 out of 31 times, he's stopped his man.

This will not change just because Jermain Taylor is standing in front of him.

 

If I ever went to a pro fight (and I've gone to a few), this would be the one. But I can not believe on that Saturday, 9-29, we will be coming back from our vacation in Maine. No way could I make it to AC that night after driving back from Maine. Oh well, have to watch it at home.

I've thought about looking into switching to the week before to go on vacation. Decisions, decisions...

:think

 

World class comp. favors Taylor no doubt and there are some slick boxers in that bunch. KASSIM OUMA? Jermain was pushed back by that little man all night! A lot is being made of Jermain's weight and that's where the fight will be won. Pavlik will take some jabs early, but he will get to Taylor's body and wear him down. By the 8th Pavlik will force Taylor to fight off the ropes landing huge bombs. The fight will be stopped in the 10th-Pavlik KO and NEW Middleweight Champ!

 

the ghost will be seen.

 

Go Pavlik!!!

 

Taylor is very nervous about fighting Kelly. You could see it in his face & hear it in his voice after the Spinks fight when pressed to even talk about Pavlik. He wanted to talk about Miranda...the loser that night!

Like I said, all the pressure will be on Jermain.
