Im pretty sure Jermain will say he was a little drained and that he will be able to force his power on Pavlik more at 168.
If the rematch was at 160 I would favour Taylor slightly even though he got KTFO in their first fight, but at 168 I think Pavlik will KO him again. If Taylor was weakened by making 160 then what do you think Pavlik was?
I think Taylor knows he made a couple mistakes in the first fight that he can fix for the 2nd fight, not taking anything away from Pavlik but his punches looked slow as hell compared to Taylors.
Oh cmon dood, Taylors been making the same mistakes in all his fight. You remember a fight Taylor had with a lil someone named Winky Wright? I highly doubt that at 168 Taylor is gonna do anything to Pavlik if anything i think it would favor Pavlik more so than Taylor.
Pavlik is gonna destroy that over-rated, shaky-chinned hype job even earlier this time. :nod Sorry, HBO - the charade's over. You can't get this fraud gift decisions when he's lying on the canvas!! :-( :happy
You might be right Pavlik looks like he would be able to put wieght on easier, but honestly when I was watching the fight I was thinking to myself How cant Taylor counter this guy, Taylor to me looked like the better boxer in the ring. Pavlik has good jab and strong punch, but he doesnt have a good guard and seems to stand flat footed in the ring. I would bet a 100 bucks that Hopkins would pick Pavlik apart in the ring, and would box circles around him. Taylor couuld of won the fight if he would of stuck to boxing instead of trying to please the crowd, the fight was fun to watch and I would love to see it again and Im pretty sure next time it will be on ppv.
Both Taylor and Pavlik Knockout Calnobody in less then 8. Unless they stop the fight Manfredo style.. Oh I guess the ref did that for Manfredo's own good. I guess Manfredo was going to be slapped to death in there.
