REMATCH..MY pick Taylor.

Yes he had a poor selection of punches when he attempted to finish him off. Why would you throw the same looping right over the head when Pavlik has his guard high up. Throw combination at different angles to get through the guard...some of those punches will find their mark just as when Pavlik had Taylor hurt, he came out and threw a combination of different punches.

 

Taylor wouldn't be the only one learning from his mistakes. Pavlik also got sloppy on defense and nearly paid for it in the 2nd. It's unlikely he'd make that mistake again either.

 

Pavlik will watch the tapes and fight a little more relaxed next time, but it was the acumulative affect that did in Taylor

 

I think if anything, Pavlik was a little bit too confident and they took Jermaine too lightly. I think all they thought was "he fought small guys like Ouma and he couldnt knock them out"...
Bad mistake as it goes to show in the second round. THis shows that Ouma has a monster chin for a small guy. he took some nasty shots from Taylor and didnt go down.

 

I think that Taylor's inability to stay relaxed in the ring cost him big. He looked nervous where as Pavlik was calm and poised almost in a sense that he was the champion and Taylor the challenger.

Taylor just needs to make adjustments, I can see him winning the rematch..

 

I think both guys came out very nervous,excited but tense. Especially Taylor..he was throwing some wilde punches from far away. He was overshooting himself...something he has done in the past. The problem is that hes done the same mistakes over and over..he had time to watch the tapes of old fights. Why didnt he correct them when fighting Pavlik.

 

Taylor was always overrated, plain and simple...

 

I think Taylor needs to learn to take his time when he has a fighter hurt, he did the exact same thing against Ouma, he tried to blitz him, and it made his punches less effective because his technique slid when he went for the kill, and then he ends up very tired from the barrage of punches he just threw

 

Stupid pick.
You must want to suck his dick or something.

 

Pavlik by TKO/KO, around the same time. Period.
