I called it!!!! The NEW Middleweight Champion of the World... Kelly The Ghost Pavlik

exposed?! so every win is an exposure nowadays huh? :huh good job kelly!!:thumbsup

 

:nono I called it...Pavlik TKO7

Anyways, great fight and I have a tremendous amount of respect for both Jermain Taylor and Kelly Pavlilk. Had Jermain been able to follow up and measure his shots more, we may have had Taylor TKO2.

 

Props to JT, he fought with a lot of heart. However, the outcome was just as I predicted.

 

Great fight, for both guys. Instant classic! Was rooting for Pavlik, and thought the judges scoring, up to the point of stoppage, was complete bull****. I KNEW Pavlik had to KO Taylor, to win, but didn't think he'd do it. This fight has restored some of the respect I'd lost for it, after Mayweather/DLH and Hatton/Castillo.

 

How was Hopkins exposed?? Taylor needed HBO to get him gift decisions to "beat" him.atsch

Taylor just wasn't as good as the HBO hype made him out to be, and his chin was always a bit questionable after Hopkins rocked him and he went straight to fighting soft hitting lighter weight fighters.

THAT'S what Pavlik "exposed.":yep Sorry, HBO - you can't get your post-boy a gift decision when he's annihilated on the canvas!:-lol:

 

What's your hate for BHop, dude?

A little over-rated by some (especially the present version) but he's one of the best middles ever and he's had a great career.

I hope you're not still sore about his KO of Tito?
