Pavlik v Kessler

kessler fihgts very samrt and will not take a risk that he doesn't need . as far as leaving it in the ring he fought till the end against JOE. he just didn't have that extra level or gear to raise so he could raise he showed you everything he had in that fight. but i see him being vulnerable to the body and that wuld be Pavlik ace in the hole

 

that **** wasn't even close . people that say that were just so suprised that JT wasn't Ko'd that they give him more credit the he deserves he fought to survive in that fight not to win . and thats exactly what he did . had he fought to win he would of been ko'd & he knew it. :good

 

Your one of possibly 3 people who I have heard say "it wasnt even close". The consensus is that it was a close fight, many rounds were dependent on what you like and how you score fights.
A lot of people had it a draw, most thought it was only really the late surge by Pavlik that made the difference and a sizable minority thought Taylor edged it.

Taylor fought a smarter fight, with better tactics. They werent crowd pleasing and he sometimes looked like a scared fighter but they worked better simple as that.

I had it a draw but felt Pavlik won, as what stands out most to me was the last few rounds he did all the work in.
Can not see how you thought it wasnt even close to be honest mate.

 

PAvlik taylor 2 was not close or debatalbe people . people who say that were just so surprised that he wasn't ko'd that they started to give him more credit fact is he fought to survive not to win

 

the way he whupped a legitimate top 10 smw in Andradre for starters. before Calzaghe no one really troubled him

 

No I watched the fight and scored every round like it was a new fight, Taylor won quite a few of them.
Which is what most people did and how many people saw it.

 

I think Pavlik can dig down deeper when the going gets tough, so I favor him in this match-up. He will make it a war and Kessler will eventually fold about round 10. I see Kessler starting well with Pavlik starting to take command about round 6. This one would be be a fun fight to watch.

 

This will no doubt be a fight of the year candidate. I hope it goes down soon. I think Kessler should fight Taylor first and if he wins he can fight Pavlik.

 

sounds like a great plan :good

 

I'm neutral on whether or not Kessler should fight JT before he takes a crack at Pavlik. I just see Pavlik/Kessler as one of the very best fights that could be made mid to late '09.

I hope the plan goes into fluition. :good

 

Mid 09? I was thinking sooner like Feb. :thumbsup

 

True.

 

Yup, and the Danes ran with it bigtime.
