    you noobs can now apologize.

    close fights can often go either way and just cause it goes one way or the other doesn't mean that there is corruption about.

    Taylor carried himself so well in the post fight interviews that someone posted here. His line about how he wasn't going to claim he won because he didn't like how Hopkins did that and stole some of his glory was pure class. I think Taylor's stock really went up after this fight

    It's good to see he can learn too, even if it took an L for him to do that. He never was able to stay off the damn ropes and for him to actually do that against a fighter like Pavlik shows vast improvement. I mean Winky had him against the ropes :lol:

    And the man definitely will have the state of Arkansas behind him again

    I aint apologizing for ****. JT was given many gifts by HBO, and last night's fight was NOT close. Pavlik comprehensively outboxed him, and anyone with eyes can see that.

    And if anyone has a problem with it, I am open to dispense ownages.

    If I had the time right now I would rewatch the 2 Hopkins fights, Winky fight, and Pavlik fight, do a round by round and take you to school.

    Attempting to take me to school would only result in you being flunked, sent to detention, and beat up at 3:00 pm.

    But you are welcome to try it.:yep :good

    I had Hopkins beating Jermain in a close fight, both times they fought. I had Winky beating Jermain. But thats my card, and my card, or your card, doesnt mean ****. Networks dont pay off results. They were genuinely excited by the prospect of Kelly Pavlik beating Taylor, I promise you. He's the more exciting fighter, and that boy throws out pure violence.

    Jermain was not ONCE blown away by the opponents you claim were robbed. I scored against the Little Rock son in those fights just like you did, but I can see how people's scoring styles could have him winning the fight. In my eyes he landed nothing of consequence, but he outworked Bernard Hopkins twice. He batters Winky's guard and kept him defensive in the center of the ring all night. And while I thought Kelly won last nights bout by a hair, the harder shots were landed by Jermain.

    Good fighter and a better kid. Lay off the hate.

    I agree Taylor has been in so many close fights. But I had him winning by a couple points against Hopkins in both fights. And the Winky fight was so close that heh I honestly don't care who got the win. Again here with Pavlik it might have been a bit close in some peoples eyes...But once again who cares? the fights are so close and then people cry robbery? None of Taylors fights were "robberies"..they were just close fights.

    Pavlik won last nights fight by at least two rounds; that seems to be the overall opinion. If Pavlik's belts had been at stake then Taylor 100% lost the fight. You have to take a champions belts, and Taylor never got near doing that. Also, end of the eleventh Taylor was ready to be shipped, but Pavlik wisley took the UD. Taylor gave all he could and came up short, Pavlik fought within himself in the final round knowing he had the decision.
     
  13. Taylor is a classy kid, he's got Heart and a good jab, but throughout his whole career, he will be in the middle of questionable decisions, simply because he dosen't have the Power to get the KO, and his Stamina is just so-so, he didn't do **** last night in the last 3 rounds..
    BTW Pavlik clearly won the fight and has JT'S number...:deal
