    I'm leaning towards Taylor to win this fight,although I wouldn't be shocked if Pavlik pulls out an upset.

    I've seen Taylor enough to judge him on his past performances,but some questions about Pavilk for anyone who's followed his career....

    1. How do you rate his jab?

    2. Does he work the body?

    3. Overall(from what I seen)he posessed decent speed;How do you rate it?

    4. Defense

    5. It's obvious the man has serious power in both hands,but does he mix it up with hooks,and how is his power off the hook?


    EDIT:He's went the distance 3 times in his career - how is his stamina?

    Kelly has it ALL. I'll explain more tomorrow...I gotta get to sleep!:tired

    Hint:
    He's ambitrexous & a natural left hander, but he fights orthodox. He's a GENIUS! His dominant hand is his left, which he use's to jab, uppercut & hook with & his percision & timing is uncanny. And his right hand is B E A U T I F U L!!!
    I'll really be shocked if he doesn't school Taylor.

    I think he stops him. Taylor will be no different. He'll fade under the pressure & KP either puys him down or has him out on his feet.

    Just over 2 months away...;)

    Not only is Pavlik the better all around fighter, he hits harder. And Taylor, in case people aren't aware, doesn't seem to have the greatest whiskers.

    Why do you think he's been fighting light-hitters coming up from the lower weights ever since Hopkins rocked him?

    Pavlik's gonna show EXACTLY why.....no gift decisions THIS time! :-(

    Pavlik has excellent stamina. Even in the "later" rounds that he has been in, he has lots of energy and his punch output and punching power are just as they are in the early rounds. He spends lots of time in training doing cardio.

    Pavlik should win this one easily, Taylor's stock dropped big time against little corey spinks. :bbb

    Taylor will rip him apart he looked bad last time out against Spinks because he is a good boxer and a good mover

    Pavlik will win by KO. Taylor doesn't impress me a whole lot.

    I wouldnt be either because we all know that if it goes the distance Pavlik has lost before its even announced. :-(

    Pavlik needs a ko,,,,but hes a smart guy and probably knows that so we will see him at his best

    This is gonna be a close one but I'm picking Taylor to sneak out a victory.
