Pavlik vs. Taylor - Who won?

I'm sure I'm gonna get jumped on but I score fights more on the side of whos comming forward landing shots.

I had it 11 rounds to 1 for Pavlik (though at least 4 rounds COULD have gone to either fighter) so it could have been as close as 7-5. still the way I saw it Pavlik did enough to win round after round (acept the 10th)

 

I thought Pavlik got a close win.

 

:nod

 

i had it 7 rds to 5 Taylor or maybe a draw. Taylor landed the cleaner punches in rds 1-10 and lost the last two rounds IMO.

 

me 2

 

Shockingly bad decision. Taylor won that fight.

 

Taylor, I just cant see what Pavlik did to win

 

narrow pavlik win or a draw

 

Taylor...

But I see it could have been a draw as well. It could have gone either way tbh with you.

 

Me neither. Am I alone on this or did Jermain make Kelly look average and clumsy tonight?

 

OMG guys... you can't be serious...

Pavlik has CLEARLY outlanded Taylor in MOST rounds. Of course, like most of you, I saw a bunch of close rounds due to Taylor higher connecting percentage, maybe crispier shots in one half of the fight and more accuracy. That's the only reason I gave a few close rounds to Taylor where Pavlik clearly landed a LOT more punches. So 116-113 is a pretty solid score IMO, but having it between 116-112 to 115-113 is pretty good too.

I repeat: Pavlik has CLEARLY outlanded Taylor, and if you think that numbers alone does not win fights I have to agree... but the fight was really close up to the 10th and no more... and Pavlik finished strongly...

I suggest everybody to rewatch it as I'll do that too and re-score it. But at the moment I'm pretty damn sure that a close victory is an absolutely good decision for Pavlik... Taylor did good but didn't good enough in numbers... another fight, another fighter with a smaller punch output and the winner would be Taylor... But not this time.

 

I think the judges gave it to him because he was overall the busier guy and was the aggressor, so that ruled into his favor. There were a lot of moments, especially towards later round where Jermain wasn't throwing.... I think he was trying to pace himself. Scoring it from who landed the cleaner effective punches, I scored it for Taylor by 7rds to 5.

I think some people are forgetting that Taylor from rounds 1-10 was outjabbing pavlik. I mean that he was landing his jabs vs the jabs that Pavlik was landing. Pavlik didn't land that many jabs and is why he wasn't landing his follow up right hands either. You could sense the frustration as the fight wore on and at the end, when they announced the card, you could see they (Pavlik corner) seemed a bit surprised by the unanimous decision.

 

He was definately showing much better defense and better accuracy with his punches, and JT was still lowering that left hand for the majority of the fight. His stamina failed him in the last 2 round but 2 of the judges scored the last 6 rounds for KP, what bull****.

 

It very was close.

But Taylor was the one backing up.

And Taylor looked worse at the end of the fight.

 

pavlik win 115-114
