Hmm WTF? JT was ahead on the scorecards? gimmi a break round 1. real close with pavlik landing more I think, Ill give it to Taylor 10-9(generous as ****) round 2 10-8 JT round 3 10-10 generous again round 4 10-9 pavlik round 5 10-9 pavlik round 6 10-9 pavlik I was generous for Taylor and the score says draw, and I was real generous, those scorecards were bull****, didnt someone say they were like 4-2 for taylor????
I suppose it could be seen that way, personally I had JT ahead at the time. I'm also British so neutral to both fighters.
yeah thats pretty rediculous. Thank god kelly stopped him cause I don't think I could have taken another contraversial taylor win. Not that I actually think he lost the spinks, wright, or either hopkins fights but that would be one too many.
I thought it was a robbery at first as well. But when I watched the fight again I realized I was getting caught up in the crowd hype + lederman. Round 6 (I think. It was one of them anyways) was given to Pavlik, and Taylor out landed him by 20 shots. I agree with Merchant - going into the 7th it was 3-3, with Taylor up by 1 point. 3 points is a bit of a stretch, but it wasn't clearly Pavlik's.
I agree, I had it 3-3 with Taylor up by 1 point because of the KD. There is no way in hell that Taylor was up by 3 points.
Well, that's only a 1 round difference. Pavlik won 1 and 3 hands down. Taylor won 2 and 5 hands down. The contested rounds were 4 and 6. I can fathom a judge giving them both to Taylor after looking at them again. The real killer is that the woman gave round 1 to Taylor though. Pavlik DOMINATED Taylor in compubox numbers in that round. He connected at a higher rate and landed something like 20 more power shots. Pavlik, the sidewalk guy, Lederman, Steward and Taylor all agreed openly who won that round.
oh so you followed my advice last night and rewatched that fight now huh, good for you :thumbsup Those who are saying Pavlik was dominating are reaching out of their asses.
Pharmacist Lederman is going catatonic at a fast pace the way he had it 4 rounds to 2 to Kelly and the way he had Winky winning cause Bernard was doing "too much clinching" ( he says), maybe Harold is on drugstore dope!
