My hand goes out to Kelly Pavlik tonight. I was for Taylor but clearly Pavlik showed that he wanted it. Both men wanted to win but I guess Pavlik wanted it more. For 6 rounds Taylor was giving Pavlik fits until that 7th round KO by Pavlik. For that I salute you Kelly Pavlik for showing heart and determination. I sure hope there is a rematch between these 2 fighters and hopefully Taylor will win the next time around. And to Taylor, no matter what, props to you as well. Props to you for getting out there and fighting. Hopefully you win a few fights then go after Pavlik and hope that you win against him next time.
Definitely. Full respect for what happened in the ring tonight. Both guys showed they wanted it, both went out, and it was Pavlik that took it in the end. Well done.

RESPECT to both fighters. Pavlik is one tough kid - fits right in the mold of a Youngstown champion. Respect to Taylor - even in defeat, he showed his heart. His toughness and heart came out tonight. Great fight
