    I really do think Pavlik has a decent chance at a KO, but it will be competetive because Taylor always fights to the level of his competition. It's the reason why he always wins close disputed decisions; he does whatever his opponent does but looks more aggresive and dominant doing it and judges feel inclined to give him the close rounds.

    Taylors reign as a champ will be over verry soon. If Pavlick wont beat him Abraham will do it. But i really think Pavlick will get the job done.

    Amen. Pavlik is going to BADLY expose HBO hype-job Jermaine "Gift Decision" Taylor, and probably quite early, too. There is a REASON that he's fought only light-hitters from the lower weight classes since Hopkins put him on ***** street.

    Now, he's facing his FIRST real hard-hitting PRIME middleweight, and he is going to be BRUTALLY KOd

    You can't get a gift decision when you're lying out cold on the canvas!!! :lol:

    Pavlik better KO this pretender.
    Let's hope Taylor doesn't go into survial mode and make it to the final bell.
    You just know the judges will give it to him.

    Personally, I only have the guy winning one out of his last 5 fights, but he always gets the benefit of the 'bad decisions'.

    And if he jumps up to SMW-LHW, even Sakio Bika level guys will defeat him, that's where Jermain Taylor is truly at with the larger fighters.

    You either drink too much, like beeing intentionally dense - or somehow watched some other fight.

    Like I ****ing said you probably german piece of ****. Burger king got the **** beat out of him by miranda. Ref saved his ass many times that fight. Jumping in anytime his ass was in trouble. Got his jaw cracked. That constitutes getting the **** beat out of you when you got to eat through a straw for weeks. :D

    Taylor has been good fighting Hopkins and bad fighting the elusive Spinks who is going to show up nobody knows most the fans don't give him a change but I do I think he got the skills speed,size and some power,Pavlik is very easy to hit I'm sure he is motivated for this fight.

    Exactly. If Taylor makes it to the final bell, expect yet another gift decision.:yep

    Hell, who knows - with his track record of outrageous verdicts maybe they'll find a way to give him the decision when he's out cold on the canvas!!!!!! :patsch

    JT gets no respect here. I guess its because non of you here really know or followed the guy until the bhops fights. JT will beat pavlik very easily, anyone with boxing experience can see this. Go and check out pavlik's fight with miranda. Even with Miranda's very limited skills, when he counter punched and attempted to be defensive, he was able to time pavlik's slow shots, and even his slow wide punches were way quicker than pavliks. If he had the sense to tie pavlik up instead of taking a beating on the ropes, the fight would have been closer.

    Cant wait for this fight, and I really hope the odds are in favor of pavlik because I will become a little richer that night.

    I want Kelly to win - nothing against JT though. If JT wins impressively, good for him, but I'm predicting him to be looking up at the lights in the 6th or 7th

    Amsterdam lost all credibilty when he talked up Sakio Bika beating Taylor, which is nothing but a back-handed insult to Taylor while at the same time trying to give props to Calzaghe.

    You don't have to like Taylor, but he is much better than you make him out to be, and even if he loses to Pavlik, he's still accomplished a lot in his career already.
