Is anyone considering the possibility of Taylor by KO?

Graham Houston is not considering that but the reverse somewhere around rounds 10-11. I always consider the Fightwriter that one eligible analyst and prediction expert. He has gone wrong in Huck-Cunningham, Mollo-Golota, Bunema-Karmazin and obviously in Williams-Quintana tho ( predicted a late KO or a wide UD for PW) and just to mention recent fights... I know knowledgeable people that predict a stunning kayo for Taylor but I am not one of them.

 

sure. taylor looks more than ready, he is a top talent and has gotten this fight to be at super middle!!

so i hope pavlik kos him again, but my gut tells me something about an upset.

 

:good TAYLOR has a very good chance of jumping on PAV and finishing what he started ! I favour PAV but only slightly and wouldnt be surprized at a TAYLOR win ! Cheers !

 

It is possible but not likely - Taylor caught Pavlik cold last time and hit him with his best shots and still couldn't put him away.Pavlik will be more careful this time
Pavlik KO 9

 

NO-Don't see it happening,, Pavlik can take a good shot and has and showed great recupative power, unlike JT who took a nap when caught..

 

It could definitely happen. Let's not forget that Taylor has Manny Steward in his corner. If Manny has Taylor moving from side-to-side more effectively for this fight, then Taylor could keep out of trouble and score more often. Under this scenario, a Taylor kayo victory is a possibility.

Taylor may have blown the first fight by constantly retreating in a straight line -- as opposed to moving laterally -- and rendering himself vulnerable to Pavlik's straight right hand.

I lean slightly toward Pavlik in this bout because of his advantages in strength and mental intensity. Still, I think Taylor could win it.

 

Clear possibility, but Pavlik is stronger, and his power shots hit right on the mark over and over until the other guy breaks. Taylor can't hurt Pavlik with the same consistency. Still, it is a 60-40 call for me.

 

60-40 call in favor of Pavlik is how I see it too.

 

It wouldn't surprise me one bit. Taylor needs to stick to a gameplan and use his talent.

 

Steward doesn't train Taylor.

 

He is too strained to do it. Perhaps he might get lucky.

 

yes i fancy taylor by ko. i fancy an early stoppage for some reason

 

Pavlik doesn't need to stick his chin out there to be hit.

Taylor has all the tools to win, but we will see when Pavlik puts the big right up against Taylor's head the first time.

If nothing happens, the we have a FIGHT.

 

very big chance of a jt ko 4 me
