This will be another great fight. I think everyone knows Pavlik will probably win, but it will sure be fun watching it unfold either way.
I think Pavlik is going to win again but by UD. It should be a good fight like the first one, but I think Pavlik will be more cautious in the beginning rounds and Taylor will be more cautious in the later rounds. I hope there are knockdowns in this fight, but I have a feeling it will go to the cards....no way to explaining more than just a feeling I have.
Its hard for me to say, brain says pavlik, gut says taylor... if taylor would have been conditioned better the first time he should have easily ended pavliks night very early.....but we all saw how that tale unfolded
I've heard Kelly is looking great at 166. Possessing speed and power. I really think this step up in weight is going to benefit Kelly more than JT. JT's flaws have more to do with his mental and physical makeup. He is so a customed to holding his left low and this is going to hard to break. If he is able to concentrate on holding his hands in the proper position, then what suffers. JT goes straight back. This really hurt him in the first fight. Again, does JT possess the ability to make quality changes to his game. He now knows Kelly's power. He (JT) loaded up on every shot in the first fight. This is what drained him. Can he keep up with Kelly's output? Once he tastes that power again, will he throw out everything he has worked on in order to get a KAYO? He was physically unaware of the KO, this is likely to have left a deep impression in his psyche. Will he be timid? Will he let his hands go? KP = KO rd 7.
Before I vote, I need to see the papers to confirm that this is the official Pav Taylor thread, and not merely another generic one. You can't be too careful, these days.
Oh, you can bet the house, this is the official one. :deal Read the fine print. Now do your part and vote!
