That actually might be true he was slurring in his post fight interview, hope he's alright seriously.
Differnce is that pavlik was able to get up after being down, and had his senses nearly back totally, whereas Taylor could not get up, and if he did, he would have be destroyed, as Blocky said. I had the fight dead even if not for that. I like Taylor and Pavlik both. Bet on Taylor in the rematch...:hi:
The bull**** was Smoger gave Pavlik all the time in the world to recover after his KD. **** that ****, give the count, make em fight. That was bull****. Remember the Berto fight? Estrada got up, he looked at him, then let them fight, so Berto jumped back on.. Smoger didn't do that, he let Kelly get part of his legs back, if he let it go right then, Taylor probably would of KO'd him.. but Smoger gave him the chance to come back.
The fact he survived and wreaked havoc indicates the fight should not have bee stopped in the second round. I bet on Taylor so I have a impartial view. Pavlik deserved his win, good on him
I am serious, Smoger gave him all ****ing day to recover. If he would of let Taylor jump right back on him, the fight wouldn't of ended. Give the count, see if he's okay, then start the action. Smoger didn't do that. He stalled.
