    I picked Pavlik last time, although I didn't think he'd knock Taylor out. After Taylor's lackluster performances, I just thought Pavlik would have enough firepower to win the later rounds and squeeze by him.

    YES In the first fight I picked Pavlik, however I expected him to be more dominant and after reading the full fight report from many different journalists and watching it on youtube, I now believe that the result will be reversed in the rematch.

    I believe Taylor will be more patient and not expend too much energy early on like before. He will try to use his superior speed to outbox Pavlik early and not try and blow him out of there like before. He now knows what Pavlik is capable of and more importantly knows he can hurt Pavlik. It will be tough for Taylor but I think his determination will see him through to the later rounds, after some good rounds for Pavlik, Taylor will eventually pick up his pace and after conserving energy will stop Pavlik around round 9. I do not think he was really up for the Ouma and Spinks fights, but Pavlik sure woke him up. He will be more determined than ever not to lose again.

    Picked Pavlik in six last time, and I've got Taylor by UD this time. Taylor did much better than I anticipate last time, and there's still plenty for him to improve on. Essentially the fight was even until Pavlik's power made the difference. Taylor will make changes, and hopefully come out ahead.

    Can he do a Lennox Lewis? The smart money would be on Pavlik for a repeat KO.

    I agree, I thought first one was 50/50 too.
    Taylor can box pavlik and win, but he needs spectacular one sided win to avoid possible 3rd fight, so he might get cought in a brawl again.

    Taylor isn't that bad, he did hurt Pavlik in the 1st fight. He could win, no doubt in my mind. He did seem more stronger than Pavlik even though he lost by KO
