    I can't recall a fighter in recent memory getting beaten so badly in one round and then recovering like Pavlik did. The replay of the first knockdown with the flush shots Pavlik ate is just ridiculous. For all intents and purposes, he should have been out but he survived the storm and got stronger as the fight went on. Pavlik is one of the toughest SOB's I've seen in a long time.

    yep, I thought he was dead and buried. The thing is, JT isn't a big hitter. Imagine if those shots were from someone like Kessler or similar.....not so sure he would have weathered it.

    Yeah but Corrales got a little respite with the mouthpiece incident. Pavlik had to recover on the go with no break from the action. Don't wanna open that debate up again but it's the truth. Good example though.

    The best part was Pavlik chuckling in the corner at how stupid he was to let Taylor hit him with that many shots. When he said, "I'm good.", and chuckled, I knew he had all his senses back. Truly amazing! And Taylor can hit.

    But he is not a BIG hitter. He has above average power.

    I'm so happy they're finally back in the playoffs, with some help from the boys in Florida of course

    Yes, but you quoted a poster who said "Taylor is not a big hitter" and said "Sorry to tell you. Taylor is a good hitter."

    You posted as though you disagreed with that assessment.

    ya, i knew he would get up but i thought he would go down again but Taylor just could not capitalize on Pav being hurt. Man, Kelly Pavlik looked like Frankenstein when he got back up the rest of that round. It looked like he was flatfooted and couldnt even bend his knees haha as soon as he was saved by the bell, i knew Taylor was gonna pay for his mistake.

    I have to agree with you, it was a stupid answer.

    no probs DM. I was actually shocked how hard Taylor does hit to be honest. Like I said elsewhere, it's a shame for him that he isn't a little more composed when things start picking up. If so, he would still be champ. i am no fan of taylors but he won some of my respect last night. During round two there was a second or two when I thought it was a mismatch!
