Good lord people. all we are hearing is how he punched himself out in the second round. Jermains punch output was great thru the whole fight. he never showed any signs of slowing down until the knock out. so enuf with it. getting tired is something all fighters have to live with. pavlik threw many more punches, so im sure he was tired to. but leave that excuse at home, because Jermain looked strong the whole fight.
The problem was Taylor standing in front of Pavlik the whole fight and not using his naturally faster hands and coordination to pick his spots at some times. He stood right in front of Pavlik the whole night. That was his problem. He could've touched Pavlik from the outside all night. But he didn't.
He told he punched himself out by throwing way too much unnecessary shots in second round. You wanna argue with Taylor himself?
A world class boxer does not punch himself out in two rounds. I do not think that's a reasonable excuse.
Word class or not...you can't sprint for 3 minutes...when punch recklessly and not efficiently you can punch yourself out in a round. You must not know anything about sports let alone boxing... Taylor just didnt use his head...the more tired he became the more he stood in front of Pavlik...
