    A lot of people in this forum call Taylor a fraud which I think is pretty tragic. The fact that he fights all comers and is keen to jump back into the ring with the guy that beat the bejesus out of him is a credit to Taylor. He may well lose but so what - its about time people respected the guy!

    All he has to do is avoid the right hand and hell get an easy decision. Maybe easier said than done, but Pavlik seems like the sort of guy who you can do a bit of homework on and get around. Hes only got a couple of strengths, nullify them and hes yours. Taylor had to survive another 5 rounds. Not impossible.

    Avoiding the right hand shouldn't be so bad, except for two things:

    1.

    Jermain Taylor's defense is awful. It's one of the main reasons he isn't anywhere near the fighter he could be. Pavlik was hitting him with right hands from the start of the fight and if this is an immediate rematch, there is no way that JT will tighten up his defense enough to prevent that in the next fight.

    2.

    Jermain always, always, always tires in fights. It's a lot easier to dodge the right hand when you're fresh and you can move your legs. At some point during the fight, Taylor will slow down and he will get caught, hard. Just like De La Hoya, you can always count on Taylor to significantly slow down as a fight progresses.

    When Taylor wears down, Pavlik will be able to land combinations and big shots like he did in the first fight. And then it's over for Taylor.

    Perfect response to such a long-winded and ultimately incorrect post that begins this thread.

    I'll be looking for you when Taylor gets KO'd again.

    As I've said and will repeat:

    Take it to the bank, 1000-star play, IT IS A MORTAL....

    that Taylor is not only going to lose, but once again, be KT

    O by Pavlik.

    This is one of the easiest picks I've ever made, even easier than picking Pavlik by KO/TKO the first time around. If Taylor and/or his management is stupid enough to do this immediate rematch, "Bad Decicions" is going to get siz-erved like you cannot believe.

    "LOCK...IT...UP!!!!"

    I believe his managment team has lost faith in taylor so they want to cash out on one more big money fight with pavlik. Hopefully he wins they are thinking but Im geussing they dont have enough faith in him to regain some confidence and be a super middlewieght champ. If you think about it that way, it makes perfect sense. Russ Anber explained it on IN THIS CORNER.

    EDIT: Taylor is prbly done, I dont think hell ever be the same fighter anyway, and hell never beat Pavlik, barring some kind of freak injury or kelly swallows his tongue, he way too tough for Jermain.

    I took the month off bet. To be fair I never said anything negative about Pavlik and have full respect for him. Just had full confidence in Taylor but the better man won. Now you have to admit that it was a competitive fight that could of went either way. Dont act like the second round never happened.The next fight to me is a toss up as well. Both fighters are far from elite and it will come down to endurance :bbb

    I gained a new respect for Taylor after the Pavlik fight. Let's face it he fought better against Pavlik than he fought in his previous 3 fights combined. I'm sure Taylor learned alot about himself. However Kelly Pavlik learned alot about himself as well as Taylor. It will be another KO for Pavlik. No matter what Taylor at this stage won't put his left hand up and won't ever put his left hand up all this spells is WHIPLASH and another nap for Taylor.
