Anybody excited? To tell the truth, I am pleased, but not in the least bit 'excited' as the excitement was all but removed when I jumped up in the air full of adrenaline when Pavlik brutally KOed him. Nowhere to go after his next starching, no marketability, little fanbase. AWWWWW. :yep :yep :yep
Hell yeah - I cannot WAIT to see that gift-decision getting HBO hype job get starched again. Serves HBO right for stealing those victories from Hopkins and Winky. :yep
How dare you let a "B" class fighter bring such joy & excitement into your life. But you'll have Pavliks starching of Calzaghe to look forward to. Kind of re-charge those batteries of yours, ya know?
everyone has to remember though Taylor almost had Kely down and out. Taylor wins this fight and the rubber match takes place at 168 with kelly winning
I don't see why you should all wish Taylor such ill will.. He put up the sort of fight that people had been yearning for from him last time, even though he went down on his shield. Personally I don't think he'll have a chance to dominate at super middleweight, the division is getting to deep for him and he has a better chance of staying at middleweight and waiting for Pavlik to move up.. Saying that I still think he has a very real chance against Pavlik just as he did last time untill Pav found him.. Hell.. i'd bearly even call him an underdog coming into this one.. 52/48 in my opinion slightly in favour of Pavlik.
A Taylor win by KO and a third fight in the summer would be really good for the sport as a whole. :good
I see another Kelly knockout. Taylor can't put the punches together to get a knockout, ex. 2nd round of the first fight. Pavlik realized he was playin alittle carelessly in that round and went on to fight his fight for the rest of it. Taylor's gonna continue to do his backing into corner routine, which is like second nature for him, and crumble again. He may lay it all on the line, but I think Kelly will see the openings and go for them.
Taylor has put up 4 great fights with Bhop, Winky, and Pavlik and won 2 boring fights and fans want to see him done?????? They want him to be starched???? Have you guys ever trained in the ring???? Do you know what it takes, the sacrifice it takes. Cant eat anything good while you sit and eat Twinkies. Got to train everyday while the only thing you run is your mouth all to entertain you and you wish him gone???? Unbelievable.
Taylor's gonna have to make major adjustments for this fight. He cant just fight straight and back like he did in their first.
Can't wait, hope we never have to see Taylor, again. Then Kelly can lose to Calzaghe, after Joe beats Hopkins, then Calzaghe will be the greatest British fighter, ever. Even though he already is.
Some of us get real upset when ATG fighters like Hopkins and Wright get jobbed by HBO to give a title to their latest hype job.:fire Pavlik has set the world straight and he will do so again.:yep
Well I agree that he lost once to Bhop and definantly lost to Wright but I said he put up a good fight not won.
