Pavlik will punch a hole through Taylor large enough for us to see lillarry on the other side. Y-town has another Champ!!!
Pavlk will expose the overrated Taylor and knock him the f*ck OUT. Can't get a gift decision when you're out cold on the canvas! :-(
70 voters as of right now and only 2 of them think that Pavlik will win by decision. That right there absolutely shows that the consensus around here thinks Taylor gets gift decisions and that no one is "ALLOWED" to beat him unless you knock his ass out. Ok, Yes, Im a huge Pavlik fan but thats not the reason I bash Taylor. Taylor gets bashed because of what he has been given over the years and the majority of you also feel that way.
My prediction- Pavlik wins something like 8-4, vastly outworking. Lampley ignores Pavlik's punches, bangs on about misses Taylor shots, and the fight is scored 7-5 Taylor. There is never a rematch. Taylor UD.
You got the lampley thing probably right--I mean he is the worst nuthugger of taylor--Im just curious to see how and what lampley has to say about pavlik.
I think Jermain has gotten where he is on steam and heart. That is exactly why he won't make it the distance with Pavlik. Way too much firepower coming back at him this time. Pavlik by stoppage.
If Taylor exchanges, that will be a huge mistake for Jermain. Pavliks last few fights have been fought in close, with lots of exchanges, and we all know how they ended. Taylor's only chance is to keep some distance between himself and Pavlik, via the jab, which I believe is not even close to what it used to be.
