Maybe that's one of the weaknesses he was talking about? Anyway, Duran used to do it when he had guys trapped in the corner. Pavlik might do it momentarily, but I suppose it depends on how the fight is going. If Pavlik is killing Taylor, why experiment? But if it's the other way around.......
i actually considered the miranda performance his best, and i really expect the same gameplan for this one. I have read that he is training the same way as the miranda fight by hitting tires with sledge hammers and pulling SUV's with a rope. Pavlik said for the miranda fight that this was the first time he trained like that. If there is a way to get jermain thats what he is gonna hafta do, come forward and break him. Pavlik moving around and boxing to me is taking away his strengths, he might not be able to be as effective boxing now with this type of competition as he was in his prior bouts.
there was one point in the fight (round 4 or 5, not too sure) where miranda started making a semi-comeback and nailed kelly right before the round ended. his legs shook and if the round lasted longer it might have been disasterous for kelly. i dunno if the fight is on youtube but check it out if you can.
[/PHP] Actually, He has gotten away from the strength training this time. He has been working more on his speed and defensive abilities. I'm local.
interesting, i wonder if he was playing mind games with jermain on that article then. i still got a feeling that kelly will fight with the same style as he did with miranda when it comes down to it.
oh and guys, i forgot to mention one more strength for jermain. My 'Taylor!, Taylor!, Taylor!' chant throughout the fight, it will give him power.
It won't be heard, because the crowd from youngstown will have you duck-taped and put in the trunk of a caddie.
ill make sure to pop the locks on all the trunks for the caddies prior to the fight. theyll never stop the legendary chant.
I wonder if the fact that Pavlik - like kessler - is ambidexteous - is another factor, that spells doom for Taylor? Edit: Crap, somebody has already written that
I think pavlik will take it in the late rounds...One thing I notice bout pavlik is this...His training staff really analyzes every fighter...If u ever watch his pre and post fight interviews he always talks about how much he prepares by finding his opponent's weaknesses, I think much of the credit for that goes out to his trainer...You can be a great fighter but without a sold game plan ur lost...His trainer makes sure Pavlik has a game plan for every opponent...and if all else fails...Plan B...straight right...G-nite....
