Pavlik says styles make fights.

:good

 

I like Pavlik, its good to see a white boy with some skills, but I think this is the pefect fight for Taylor. They have been matching Taylor against crafty fighters, which was wrong because of his experience as a pro. Its been more based on greed from his promoter DiBella. Shows you how good Taylor can be once he gets the right experience, the way he fought in those fights, but hopefully he will be matched correctly to showcase his skills. The Pavlik fight is going to be exciting and make him look really good.

 

Pavlik is going to knock Taylor out.

 

The 'styles makes fights' cliche is seriously overblown.

Great fighters can adapt. In his last four fights alone, Taylor has seen all different types of styles and still prevailed. Seriously, Pavlik's about to succumb to a rude awakening.

 

The next boxer/announcer/anchor man to say that ****in over used boxing cliche i swear i'll smash my head through my monitor

 

Taylor has to start listening to Steward QUICKLY!

 

I haven't seen many Pavilk fights, but I'm thinking that if Taylor fights him like he fought Winky , Pavlik is in for a rough night.

 

The Ouma fight was supposed to make Taylor look really good too.

How did that go?

 

Taylor is less technically sound than Pavlik; however Taylor is faster, and a better natural athlete.

This isn't as big as factor as you might think though because despite Taylor's athletic ability, he has a tendency to stiffin up and telegraph his punches.

 

If Taylor fights Pavlik like he fought Winky, Taylor is going to get knocked out.

Getting backed in a corner while keeping your left hand low, against a fighter with a killer straight right is going to put you to sleep.

 

Pavlik's still better than Tarver :yep

 

I didn't know we started considering running backwards until you hit the ropes good footwork. For God's sake, Taylor can't even pivot off the ropes. And Pavlik's defense isn't horrendous; it's not great, but not bad either. He fought a very specific game plan against Miranda; he knew he had to open up on him and rough him up. It shows that Pavlik can come in with a strategy and use it and listen to his trainer, unlike JT, who, when all else fails, stops throwing punches and waits for HBO to bail him out.
