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

Taylor has never been a puncher, so this definitley at least raises some eyebrows about Pavlik's chin. I am not calling it 'shaky', he got up and finished the job, but we will have to gauge it well in the future.

 

No, he's never been known as a puncher, but he has power. He's got decently heavy hands. You're right though, we will know more about Pavlik as he faces Abraham or another big puncher.

 

As Lennox pointed out, Taylor was showing more power with his straight rights than Miranda was with his looping shots. So, it's not too surprising that he felt it more in this fight.

 

Did my prediction NOT state that it would take a few rounds for the pressure to set in and Taylor to unravel? Which meaning that he would probably be ahead unless Pavlik was outlanding, which I made no comment about that.

The KD round offset the effective use of pressure for the next several, but he regained control and it only took 2 rounds of putting the heat on well to finally end it.

Again, child, my prediction and analysis was very much on target.

HOWEVER -

Brooklyn1550's was even better, much congratulations to him for being 100% spot on.

 

It was the left hook that started the Pavlik knockdown.

 

Pavlik stood up to some huge right hands from Miranda, but he can be hurt which was evident by the 2nd round tonight. I thought Taylor was going to end it - what a statement that would have been!

 

Yes, a guy who was terrible off the backfoot and not getting the right amount of levarage(which is needed for his big bombs) didn't do very well.

Nobody is saying he's glass, we are saying it's an eye opener and we need a further gauge, Pavlik's been on the floor in the past against non impressive punchers.

 

pavlik really kind of shocked the world in a sense. B/C i didnt think he was gon win, and he may have made believers out of a lot of people. He shocked a lot of peole, did anyone peep the look Lennox had on his face at the end of the fight lol. He was lookin like wtd just happened here lol. BUt like Amsterdamn said dont get it twisted. Pavlik is still very limited and needs a lot of work defensively. So please dont overrate him

 

We have new evidence in hindsight. Have you never heard of a 're-assessment'?

atsch

And by saying it's 'sturdy', I am saying it's 'unbreakable'? No. This bout proved that it's up for a re-assessment, which is what we are all talking about.

 

It's pretty simple. They trained for Taylor's right hand and ended up getting rocked by the left hook.

Pavlik didn't see it, and it caught him flush in the face. Watch the tape.
