Taylor throws wide punches, and leaves himself to straight right's from Pavlik, Kp was also outjabbing JT, and has way more power, and confidence knowing he blasted the guy in front of him out of there last time, Taylor is going to have a long nite:hi:
It a matter of hours you will all see that BOO RADLEY is GOD! This fight is going down exactly as I have been predicting for the last 2-3 weeks! Taylor will come out firing all his guns from the opening bell. He's betting the farm on recreating round 2 of the first fight. But he has a small problem. JT did not create the round 2 Pavlik debacle. Kelly brought it on himself by sticking his chin out, and he ain't gonna do that again. Without that round 2 problem, the fight is slightly less exciting, and slightly shorter. Pavlik takes him out in 5 with the score cards also in his favor. Boo
Just cant see the fight being as good as the first one although i hope Im wrong.Can see the typical Taylor grab and hold mentality coming in to play just hope kelly is wise to it.First time I saw Pavlik was against miranda and I told people he was the real deal.Him getting up from that round 2 put down saved my face! Watching the fight over here in the UK at 4am hope you Yanks realise how lucky you are watching world class boxing at a sociable hour
I am going with Taylor in this one. THe first fight was close, and Taylor almost stopped him, but did't. Something tells me its going to be a differnt fight.
Going with Taylor here by decision, I feel he has a lot to prove for his legacy and all. That being said, a repeat Pavlik win would not surprise me. But, I believe that this fight means more to Taylor than it does to pavlik. Pavlik is already looking past Taylor took his next defense against Duddy or Trinidad. Win or lose Pavlik is still champion, if Taylor loses than he will definitely see his big paydays come to an end, and will have to take on dangerous fights at 168 (assuming he cant make 160 anymore) to recapture his former glory.
i'll go against the grain here. pavlik by wide ud. taylor comes out aggressive, gets caught, then goes into a shell looking to survive. he will hold and spoil pavlik's offense lasting the full 12. something tells me taylor isnt too sure of himself. hopefully, im wrong and we see a war but either way i expect pavlik to be the winner.
