After Watch the Taylor/Pavlik Countdown...

Be patient

 

He doesn't need good movement(running, in your disctionary) for this fight anyway. Taylor can box and I'm pretty sure he'll do that with a bit of movement here and there, not to forget that he will land some serious punches on Pavlik that WILL hurt him at some point or stun him. Taylor needs his A game here, if he's going there to fight Pavlik the way he fought Spinks/Ouma then he loses and by KO, I doubt he'll take this fight lightly, it's one of the most dangerous fights he has been in. I'm expecting Taylor to box his way to a UD or late round TKO, I'm also expecting him to cut Pavlik. However, both of us know that Taylor WILL exchange at some point even if he's doing good boxing, it's just his style I guess and COULD lead to his downfall in this fight if he's not careful enough.

 

Because Taylor isn't his "comp", he can bang hard when needed too and I'm sure he'll prove his power very soon.

 

What really caught my attention is hearing no fighter that has ever trained in the Pocono's with Emanuel Steward has lost. Very impressive record.

 

I said this before, but I think Taylor is going into this fight with a chip on his shoulder and he feels he has something to prove. Which means, he won't listen to Manny, he won't box, and he'll want to slug to get respect = KO.

 

Exactly.

 

That's what I'm afraid of and what's not making me too confident.

 

There's always the first time.

Erik was Granite chin & unstopable but Pac stop him first.

 

Once Taylor Got hit Flush by Pavlik Killer punch, It will rattle him & will forgot everything Steward Teach him.

 

Pavlik will finish sparring today (Sunday). He will leave for AC on Wed. He has a look of determination. God Speed!!!

 

:think i think it was when vivian harris got ktfo by maussa. i'm not sure though.

 

Another thing underrated, obviously, Taylor's chin. I doubt 1 punch will totally hurt and wobble Taylor, Pavlik will have to land A LOT of those to start hurting Taylor in my opinion and I doubt Taylor will stand there and allow him to. Taylor has the speed advantage here too, so expect the first big punch to come from Taylor.

 

Pavlik didn't knock out Zertuche nor Miranda with just one punch. He sets up his shots rather well.
