Taylor admitts he lost. Fightnews article.

Ok now no more debate. The judges say he lost, and now Taylor admitts he lost. Also admitts Kelly hurt him in the 1tth. Now, give Kely credit for outboxing the suposedly superior fighter, and give Taylor credit for fighting the best fight of his life against a guy that KO'd him b4. Cheers to them both. Also credit to Ozell Nelson. Is Manny Steward such a boxing god now?

 

Former WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF Middleweight Champion of the world Jermain “Bad Intentions” Taylor was humbled by his twelve round unanimous decision loss to WBC/WBO Middleweight Champion Kelly Pavlik, whose title was not on the line tonight before a crowd of 9,706. Although several razorback ringside observers believed Taylor won the contest Taylor was a true sportsman in conceding publicly at the post fight presser
“He did catch me, he hurt me with a body shot in the 11th round. I could have did things a lot different,” added Taylor “But he had a great fight all the way around. I give it to him.”

 

I am admittedly a Pavlik fan. He hasa great attitude about boxing, and is a great represetitive of the sport. He comes to fight, almostalways gets the ko, and never talks trash. He earned the win TWICE. So give him his credit.
As for Taylor... well, what can you say. Fought the best there is in Hopkins (twice) and Wright. 3 southpaws. Then, steps up to fight an undefeated knockout artist, gets KO'd and seeks immediate rematch, and then... fights the fight of his life. Props to them both. I am a fan of the loser as much as the winner. I will pay to see either of them fight.
