    great fight and people should stop bashing Taylor. He came to fight, as champion hes fought the best competition, and tried to be a real champion.

    I thought Pavlik was going to KO Taylor without having trouble that he had in the early rounds, so this fight exceeded my expectations.

    Both men were gentleman, classy guys but when the bell rang the went to war,good skill level, great body shots and Taylor got to show his power as well as Kelly, I think it boiled down to a war of attrition and the pressure that Kelly puts on you,Taylor handled it well at first but the pace and the body shots wear you down. Pavlik worked the jab well in the 7th and that what made the right find a home. If this kid does not get reckless and take too much damage he will get much better at this level

    Yes it did. It played out as I was expecting it to turn out.

    Nobody among the two wanted to back down and it ended in a K.O. :yep

    A great fight with both men tasting the canvas, boxing needs more fights like this.
