~ Kelly PAVLIK v. Jermain TAYLOR ~ ANALYSIS and PREDICTION Thread ~

Exactly:good I wonder who Manny Stewards picking?

 

Taylor is very good, but is pretty much made for Pavlik. He likes to fight, but does not have the power to do so with Kelly. He can box, but doesn't have the mind to do so smartly all throughout the fight. Pavlik KO.

 

Pavlik T/KO 5
After the fight people will downplay Pavliks crushing victory saying "Well Taylor wasn't really THAT good, he was just an average HBO hypejob that beat Hopkins twice in a row"
He could give Jesus Christ the whiplash treatment in under 8 rounds and people will say "Well Jesus was rusty, he did'nt even have a tune up fight after being off for 2000 years." "His last victory was a SD over Judas and who has he beaten?"

 

A little nervously, I'm going for Taylor by decision.

 

I just don't think Taylor will be able to keep Pavlik off him for 12 rounds. If he fights on the outside and tries to box Pavlik, I think Pavlik will land the big right hand all night long. I think it will be a good fight again, not sure it will be as exciting as the 1st but still see Pavlik winning via KO/TKO in less than 9 rounds.

 

I had Taylor ahead on the score cards after the last fight and also, everyone seems to forget that Pavlik was also on the canvas at one stage.

I'm going with Taylor on this one.

 

Sticking my neck out and going for Taylor on the decision. Well worth waiting up until 3am for anyway.

 

I think Taylor will suffer a devastating loss. Devastating in the sense that he will surprise everyone and be level or slightly ahead on the scorecards going into the tenth round or so. But then Pavlik will stagger Taylor near the finish line and end it by TKO. Taylor will not go down this time though.

 

I'm gonna' go with you on this, besides, I like your avatar.
Pavlik KO 5:good

i can't see taylor winning this fight unless he fights smarter, better and faster than ever - which i don't think will happen.
