    Taylor fought a lot better than you expected him to, and nearly turned Pavlik's flaws (which many pointed out) into a knockout.

    Still, good job all around. You took a gamble and it paid off handsomely. :good

    Amsterdam said Taylor was slow, this is clearly not the case.

    Dam said Taylor had a bad chin, this is clearly not the case.

    Good post. Many people, including me, thought Pavlik was going to win by KO, but we were underrating Jermain Taylor's performance.

    Jermain Taylor came dangerously close to a second round KO. He fought hard which goes against a lot of the criticism recieved. I went with Pavlik and I'll do so again on the rematch.

    Amsterdam went off track with Estrada:hey Berto gave a good fight and made a worthy showing.

    Taylor got good head movement i think but his footwork is very bad.

    Taylor chin is average.

    I thought refree should not stop the fight..

    I'm not going to lie, I was definitely sketched out in the first three rounds. Jermain Taylor looked lightning fast and strong.
