Nearly everything speaks in Pavliks favour. He's undefeated, won the first fight etc... I also think Taylor lost against B-Hop twice and Wright, so basically he lost 4 fights... and yet something tells me he'll win the rematch by clear UD. It's against all logic, I know, but I'm a go with my feeling here, JT by UD, that's my pick
When I think of Hopkins-Taylor, I think of Spinks-Holmes. Holmes will spend the rest of his life cursing his losses to Spinks, and Hopkins will be kicking himself over giving Taylor too much respect. Two guys that had no real business beating two legends, even taking into consideration the 'style makes fights' theory.
I don't know! Considering Ouma's super-chrome-titanium-double-diamond plated chin he just might make the distance, but goes home with pugilistic dementia! Boo
I think Taylor's the superior boxer, but I just can't see him evading Pavlik's bombs for the whole fight. I think Pavlik could lose every round, get outboxed, but sometime before the final bell, he'll connect with a bomb, ending the fight.
Pressure????? The guy threw What 75 punches in rd. 2 and said he threw himself out? He better get on his bicycle and box for 12 rds. and tie Kelly up whenever he gets near the ropes. I'll let you in on a little secret......Kelly will be a monster at 166 and JT has no idea how much stronger and faster Kelly will be!! Pavlik rd. 6!!!
Pavlik is gonna starch him again. Earlier this time. Sorry HBO, no gift decisions in this one, either! :-(
Pavlik via UD. I think Jermain Taylor will select to box and try to take Pavlik into deep waters, since Pavliks never gone 12. However its gone be partially successful and Pavlik will win on points .
It depends. I have to see Taylors demeanor. If he is still shook up he will lose earlier. If he does not fight scared and have confidence in his punch and actually tries to throw some body shots and STAYS OFF THE DAMNED ROPES. He can win a UD. But more then likely he goes into a mental stigma and fights scared like he did last fight. He needs to attack Pavlik early again and dont let him get into his rhythm.
