Hate to say it, but "white men can't fight" is the general consensus. He really had to prove himself. Many, many times. Now, there is no doubt whatsoever.
The first jab-straight right hand did the damage. Then Taylor backed up a few steps, jab-right hand again. Taylor falls back into the ropes, and you're right, a beautiful flurry ended it. The left uppercut did the most damage. Very mature assault from Pavlik.
