    It was close... I think taylor had done enough to win at that point... and he blew the last 2 rounds...

    I realy like taylor. I was hoping he won. Pavlik has absolutely no skill. Its all guts and stamina.

    Pavlik didn't stop...that's what won him the fight. He did was Calzaghe is known for...pressing the fight with a seemingly endless amount of stamina and consistently high workrate. Difference is, he has more power in his hands than Joe. Now, I would pick Pavlik to beat Calzaghe if they met. Won't happen, but Kelly would outwork the king of workrate.

    One word-- consistency. Pavlik had it, Jermain did not.

    that was a hella of a fight, i was rooting for taylor. Pavlik just outworked him and can take a hella of a punch. Taylor will **** up any one you put in front of him in the sm division except Joe. Pavlik will have a long ass reign at middleweight

    Only saw Jermain throw about 1 right uppercut I think. This would be very effective against a predictable fighter like Pavlik

    that body shot was huge, it seemed like kelly was getting tired up until that shot he landed seemed to reenergize him and help him win the fight.
