Mikkel Kessler will be ringside for Pavlik vs Taylor

I must agree with this outcome. Kessler couldn't handle the pressure and would panic after he felt the presence and power of Pavlik.
Joe's slaps didn't put any fear in him, Pavlik's right is might, Kess goes down in this one..

 

Two more rounds to Kessler and the fight would have ended 114-114 - a tie (and that's going by the judges cards)

 

Kessler went pro young with very few amateur fights - so yes he fought his share of "cap-drivers" ... but he also fought two mandatories (one away), united titles and fought Calzaghe (again away) ... he has kept his quality of opponents pretty good since he took the title - not like Mundine or even Dawson...
