Amsterdam, how big of a load did you drop in your pants during the second round?

HEEHHEH i was ****ing on edge and my heart was hammering... but i didnt soil myself. Def a shacky moment

 

What reasons were proven wrong?

Pavlik was on his way to walking him down and KOing him even earlier had it not been for the KD round where he broke his nose. Did you notice that he fought extra tentatively for the next few rounds, but regained control and kept Taylor on the backfoot through reach and effective pressure until he landed the right shot and put him out?

Taylor did not handle the pressure well at all, he could not keep poise, like I stated that he wouldn't. I also stated that their level of defence was about the same and Taylor lacked the boxing ability like most thought to box a good fight for 12 rounds, another thing correct.

Lastly, I commented on Taylor's chin. Well, when Pavlik landed the fully flush right hand finally that was sat down on, the bout was over essentially, so let's check that off also.

So basically, the KD round happened and disrupted Pavlik from going about like I said he would do, but he then regained control and did what my prediction told?:yep

I suppose I was all wrong then.

Anyway, I was rather surprised when Pavlik got KD'd, but that's a new reflection of his own chin in my opinion, he wouldn't be well suited to move up in weight against bigger punchers, because Taylor is not a big puncher.

 

I'll tell you what I was doing. I was screaming at my television asking Pavlik if he forgot his defense at home.

Still can't believe he caught all those punches flush in the second. atsch Scares me should he ever get in the ring with Calzaghe.

 

Why the **** do fighters when hurt try and play it like that ... Kelly smiled...dropped his hands and even i believe stuck out his tounge....and then ate a 3 or 4 punch combo. Had he just shook it off ...or held or anything but act like that he prolly wouldnt a been dropped.

 

Calzaghe doesn't have any more power, plus his punches are more slaps then full fledge power shots like Taylor throws.

 

Probably a delayed reaction. That happens you get hit and think you are ok then a second or two later your legs are gone.

 

Lemme be the first to congratulate all the Pavlik fans, b/c I can admit I did pick Taylor to win. So I will be man and say congrats, but real talk. Pavlik is kind of wack, and the funny thing is Taylor is worst. Jermain should have won this fight, but as usual people and haste, always rushing and smothering their punches. He had dude hurt why not pick your shots now, g2 the body and weaken him down there and then come back upstairs. DAM man, taylor got me upset watchin him 2nite. Taylor will never be great if he doesnt use his head when he is fighting. Dude always seems to kno the blueprint 2 win when the fight is over lol. Never while he is in the fight. Im watchin the fight with my boys, and my trainer calls me when the fight is over and says I cant believe Taylor lost to this bum. Pavlik has power goin 4 him that is it. Still is very easy to hit. Jermain for what reason I dont kno would not use his jab, or keep HIS DAMN HANDS UP. For the love of me, damn keep ya guard up, he musta thought he was roy jones or something. but im watchin the fight and im like whythe f**k wont he use his jab and keep his hands up. But its wateva, like I said congrats to Pavlik and his fans.

 

Well, nice to see you won't be gone for seven months old friend.

 

Both guys simply are not true P4P level fighters mate, I also stated this before the fight. They both have an atrocious defence first of all, which you just stated in your review.

At least he did the job, I was confident the entire time and got the styles, intangibles and all of that correct. Before the KD, he was easily winning the round and was setting his pressure based game plan in and was out jabbing Taylor.

Pavlik is good, but he is far from anything resembling a potential ATG like they initially thought Taylor would become, forever showing their immense level of ignorance regarding this sport.

 

Bull****!

I am not a big Taylor fan at all, and wanted Pavlik to win, but to even suggest that Taylor has a weak chin after taking so many great punches is bollocks. The amount of right hands that landed flush on his jaw was insane. From the hardest htiter in the division too. A one punch knockout artist landed his signature shot plenty of times, and Taylor took a lot of them easily.

What really frustrates me about you and Zakman is, you can't go against your predictino. If Amir Khan, a boxer you both think has a glass jaw, takes some ferocious shots by a guy with a 100% knockout ratio in his next fight, you'll still have the opinion that he has a glass jaw. Neither of you know when to give up. Both are far too stubborn about picking glass jaws.

Taylor can take a better punch than many boxers. That, after tonight, is without doubt.

 

He was on ESB looking for one of his old threads saying Pavlik has a china chin before the Miranda fight.

 

Good points. Bottom line, Taylor's many limitations and questionable chin were confirmed tonight. I personally would upgrade it from "suspect" to "Shaky."

And Pavlik might have to go on the "suspect" list.:yep

 

Because, he cannot keep poise under pressure, which was the basis of me picking Pavlik, because Taylor's defence against a guy pressuring is atrocious.
