    Just wanted to add, pavlik did not look good at the higher weight against bernard, the thing is who does? He actually looked SICK, and I do believe he probably was not feeling well like pavs team or doctor has said. I still think a 100 percent pavlik still loses to hop. Also IF pavlik moves up, I would like to see him in with a karmazin or Inkin. A Euro fighter, I dont think he has fought a euro and I think it would be nice to see.

    I'd want Froch to win, but I think Pavlik would stop him.

    Karmazin is a former light middle world titlist who now holds the NABF title at 160. Because of the way the WBC works Roman is pretty much guarnanteed an eliminator, unless he loses the title in a voluntary defense. For awhile I thought the eliminator might turn out to be Karmazin/Duddy. Now, who freaking knows????? Could turn out to be Karmazin/Lopez. Either way, the winner will have EARNED the ass whoopin' that comes next.

    What do you think of Arthur's chances against Froch? Considering Froch's defense, I can easily imagine AA landing something big, and that right early.

    You can't knock The Rocket. He quite clearly just had an off day!

    An "off day!" My sarcasm detector went off loud and clear, so I hope you're not serious. But then, one could say, it was Gary's "day" to get "off" the canvass . . . . . repeatedly:hey

    So Pipe old buddy, we're both Taylor fans, but I am PISSED at JT. Some very basic stuff would have saved the fight, take a knee and clinch hard after the count, but Jermain screwed the pooch on us, AND, I lost my Danny Lopez avatar for a month:patsch

    All because you didn't call the last 14 seconds. That is why I don't get caught up in that **** too much. Always that chance. I really wanted to believe Jermain when he said he was a changed man, hungry again. Sounds like he was better coached for the presser than he was for the fight.

    I see that my friend....:rofl

    Frustrating as **** too. Taylor was SOOOOOO much better than Froch for 98% of the fight I saw it as a forgone conclusion. Put my kid to bed in the 10th or so, and settle back in to see Taylor out there like a clown....with big clown shoes on.:!:

    15 ****IN' SECONDS!!!!!!!:bart
