How did he look bad? He was better technically, stayed of the ropes, and used his jab as well as having better stamina. He looked better the last 2 fights. He also didn't back straight up as much and used more angles. What is your reasoning based on?
It wasn't that hard of a fight to score... I was at the fight at the MGM with pretty good seats... I had it even going into the 11th (like most) , but Pavlik Definitely won the 11th and I think he won the 12th too.. Not much Controversy, Taylor fought great, but lost. 115-113
****...people calling taylor a class act when he yells out in a press conference "who's next...you!?. you!?. all you ****ers are just money in the bank." then just tweaks out like a 5 year old. I'm glad he finally got ktfo. Oh yeah spinks beat him too.
This fight more so than most could have truly gone either way. One of the more clear examples of a contest that could rightly be considered a draw.
I wouldn't read to much into Taylor's admissions. He was a mentally broken person at that stage and lacked the confidence to affirm himself. He would have accepted nearly any judgment against him. The fight was obviously not a robbery but is open to dispute. I scored it a draw.
I'm sure you all sat quietly the entire fight and werent swayed by each other's drunken yelling or opinions. :good
Well I thought some here would feel Taylor won and as I said earlier I had it 115-113 for Jermaine. A draw would have been fair too. I really thought the scoring was way off.
