There are some real clowns on here lately! Taylor hasn't hurt anyone is years! Ya tell me he fought B-Hop 2x, Wright and Spinks BLAH! BLAH! Anyone watch Hopkins, Wright or Spinks fight they couldn't KO a corpse! The punch stats had Miranda landing 22% of his punches, wow how did he hit Pavlik so much? Pavlik will hit JT harder and more often than anyone he has ever fought! If Ouma (a straight ahead volume puncher-except smaller than Pavlik and can't punch) walked Jt down he's in trouble Sept. 29!!!
Dude Pavlik beat Miranda....Yeah the guy who just flails his arms in hopes of knocking people out, its not liek he beat some big facotr in the division, i think Abraham is overrated too... Jermaine will punish Pavlik....probably with the least amount of effort possible, but hopefully Pavlik brings the fight so Jermaine can still win in impressive fashion instead of just gliding through him..
I feel even more confident that Pavlik will win, since Susie, with only 200Vcash, thinks otherwise. Whoever Susie picks, pick the other guy!!:nut
Pavlik has an excellent chance to stop Taylor, but he will have to knock Taylor out because the judges have already scored the fight for Taylor.
DOWN GOES TAYLOR!!! DOWN GOES TAYLOR!!! Michael Buffer: The winner, and new Middleweight Champion of the World, from Youngstown, Ohio, Kelly "THE GHOST" Paaavlik. Taylor is going to find out what is means to be in a fight. There will be no half-steppin from Pavlik.
Tarver would be a good stepping stone for Taylor (or any decent young fighter) when he moves-up to 175
That's what people are blind to. It doesn't help that everytime Taylor retracts his jab, his left hand is about as high as his shoulder. He's been doing that every fight in his career. And he's going to correct it this time?
I just saw the Pavlik-Miranda fight yesterday and i'm not too impressed with Pavlik. He was aggressive and controlled Miranda but man, Miranda is one sloppy fighter who telegraphs his right hands. Pavlik has not been in the ring with a guy of Taylor's caliber. I see Taylor outclassing the guy from start to finish.
Taylor telegraphs his right too. And it seems ever since the Hopkins fights, Taylor has been fighting like a stiff. I don't know if it's the pressure that got to him or what, but he left something in the ring against Hopkins. On top of all this, Ouma a pressure fighting, volume puncher, who's short, and lacks power, was supposed to be a showcase fight for Taylor. Not only did Taylor fail to KO him, but Taylor was pushed back in the corner and forced to fight Ouma's fight. Taylor's size alone won that fight in my opinion. That won't be good enough against Pavlik. Pavlik is tall enough to land that straight right hand when Taylor drops his left hand.
Taylor elevates his game against top level competition. It's hard to believe but he got bored against talented fighters in Ouma and Spinks. Taylor is not that polished but what he does bring to the table is size, youth, good power, activity, and determination. And that alone was good enough to get him two controversial wins against Hopkins and a tough draw with Wright. Taylor is going to win this fight.
Pavlik beats a sloppy Miranda, now he's the best thing in middle weight atsch Taylor will be raising his hands when the match is over :bbb
