Kelly Pavlik TKO7 Jermain Taylor I have stated my reasons as to why Pavlik will win in other threads and as the fight nears, I will post them again.
so Taylor has enough power to bust up his eye through TWO padded middleweight gloves. . . good point.
I will say this ==> Could anyone possibly imagine Pavlik barely squeaking a win against a feather fisted ww? nope not a chance he would have Knocked Corey the **** out. i think Germaine has lost it and this would definently be a good fight to bet on. Plus there is a really good chance that Germaine comes in wieght drain as ****. Pavlik by KO or retirement
No dounbt, JT fought a dumb fight against the defensive Spinks. . . but this is a FAR different style matchup .. . Pavlik fits JT's style much more.
I'll say it AGAIN. Pavlik will win EASILY. I know it's hard to believe folks, but Taylor is vastly overrated and Pavlik's power and accuracy will be too much. Next weekend, we will have a new champion folks. :good
Ouma obviously didn't fit JT's style well with his pressure, why would it be any different with a bigger and more skilled example?
Really doubt this will be easy for either fighter, both are tough and powerful it just can't be easy for any. I can understand when some say PBF/Hatton will be one-sided in favor of Floyd(even though I disagree) but not this one. As the fight gets close I'm getting quite nervous to be honest even when I remember Ouma and Spinks backing Taylor up at some points, if he backs up likes that against Pavlik then yes it could be one-sided because Pavlik won't throw feathers at Taylor like Spinks/Ouma did, he will throw bombs that Taylor will feel each and every one of. If Taylor uses the backing off style(sadly, I see him doing this 100%) then it's going to be a brutal night for him, if he uses a better style, moves/jabs..etc then he wins. If relying on one big punch didn't work against Ouma or Spinks then there is no way in ****ing hell it will work against Pavlik, really hope Taylor doesn't come careless and perform poorly like he has been doing a lot recently.
Tougher mental strength? Taylor falls apart under pressure and cannot buckle down at the right moments, how does he have tougher mental strength to Pavlik? Pavlik never relents from his game plan and it's hard to get Taylor to even keep one going. My god Blockhead, you can't analyse ****.
Easy?? Hey, I'm rooting for Pavlik, just as I rooted for Hoplins twice and Wright. After that, EASY???????? :nono Taylor's 1, 2, shuffleback will make this a difficult event and Pavlik will have to bring it consistently and pour it on late if he's to break through and TAKE THE W!!! I hope that happens, but I've come to respect Taylor's ability rather than **** on it because I dont want him to win. Ouma?? He nearlt ****ing decapitated the man, til he punched himself out and even then clearly won. Spinks?? STFU, if you even begin to think Cory won:nono You dont win by dancing like the stars in reverse:-( This fight?? Wont be anything like any of them!!! Pavlik will press, Taylor defend, and we'll see who breaks who down!!! GO PAVLIK!!!!! But I wont down Taylor, I've learned from my mistakes:good
