Pavlik v Taylor-Pavlik UD?!?!?!

110 120 pavlik

 

agreed

 

I've watch it several times, and there were so many close rounds that it was hard to score. Jermain did good. I was more impressed with him than with KP. After a few viewings I can say that any of the judges scores were understandable. 115-113, 116-112, and 117-111; Three times I scored it, and came up with those same scores. The main things were those last 2 rounds, and Pavlik appeared to be the man in charge most of the time.

 

Pavlik Taylor II is the assumed topic of this thread? I had it 114-114 a draw actually leaning towards a Taylor decision.

 

I was at the fight at the MGM back a year ago.... Surrounded by Pavlik fans too,, we all were pretty nervous, but most of us had it even going into the last 2 rounds... 11th was for sure Pavliks and I believe the 12th was his too

 

115-113 for Pavlik. Kinda of hard to belive Pavlik won on points imo. I saw no way BEFORE the fight to see Pavlik win but by ko, like the first fight, but to see it this close on points is something I never thought would happen.

 

I had it 116-112 when I watched the PPV, but I was holding my freaking breath waiting for the announcement.

 

Pavlik won it in the last two rounds to me. It was a close fight with Pavlik looking to be in control although JT landed the best punches only being hit by the occasional jab. I was proud of JT that fight.

 

A lot of people, including Jack Loew had it even going into the 11. Most feel Kelly won by taking the last two rounds. I still enjoy watching it.

 

Yea its not a bad fight, Taylor was just unwilling to engage too much, taylor really did fight a perfect fight against Pavlik. Taylor's best was just not enough, styles make fights. Taylor changed his style, and changed the outcome of the fight. Pavlik still hit him with quite a few hard shots, Taylor was much more swollen after the 2nd fight then he was after the 1st, Pavlik just never caught Taylor flush on the side of the chin with any of those straight rights.

 

Jermain made history that night. No matter what the future holds he will always be the first man who forced Pavlik to go 12 rounds.

 

I had it a draw, leaning Taylor, but can understand it going to Pav by a round or two depending on how the close rounds were scored. Fights like that are just hard to score.

The 117-111 judge was off IMO, though. Finding 9 rounds to score to Pavlik and only 3 to Taylor shows a pretty clear bias.

 

Carnage, did re-watching this fight change your mind ANY about how Froch/Taylor will go?
