    It was a close fight couldve gone either way. Stop playing the BS race card! If you get wet in the rain that must be a race issue too.

    I dunno I love Pavlik..just read my previous posts
    but I really thought Taylor had the crispier punches and were landing cleaner shots. He also had the better jab. I thought Kelly was a bit sluggish out there and werent as sharp
    In fairness, he was definitely busier than Taylor

    Was race a "matter" in the first match, when Pavlik beat the **** out of Taylor and still was *well* down on the official scorecards when he got the KO?

    Bull****.

    I thought Taylor won too. But it was very close so i'm not upset.

    If a guy covers himself up like a turtle what do you expect to happen. Taylors hand was up high all night. If Taylor was doing crap then who is suppose to win the fight? The guy that came to fight in my book. You can't penalize the guy who is trying to fight because the other guy is defensive and not doing anything.

    No ****, forgot about those obscene scores that were thankfully deleted by Pavliks power.

    stfu. race had nothing to do with it. Pavlik controlled the ring, out worked taylor landed more jabs and power shots...and almost had him in the 11th. at best it was a close fight...but SHAME ON YOU FOR BLAMING IT ON RACE. Taylor lost...TWICE.

    Heh, so now Pavlik won because he is white! Yeesh. Look, the fight was close, but still a solid win for Pavlik. This crap about it having anything to do with race is an insult to both fighters who performed admirably.
