Props to Taylor for making adjustments he kept his hands up and stayed off the ropes he had pavlik reaching with the right hands and missing but ill say this what lost the fight for me was when he got hurt from the body shot after that it was over unless he could hurt pavilk point is Pavlik is better for boxing so any reason to give to him the win would help i had taylor up but once the body shot landed he was done....
I'm surprised he made adjustments, so I have to give a lot of credit to him. He obviously worked his ass off and showed up with a better game plan. He kept his hands up, picked punches off, did a nice job with his left jab early, and kept the fight in the center of the ring the entire night except in the 11th when he was hurt to the body. I had Pavlik winning a decision, but Taylor fought better than ever.
i had it 5 rounds each he lost it in the 11th and 12th he was fresh but a good body shot will take some rounds out of you that shot was solid and honestly alot of fighters would have went down from it i sware...
I dont agree with the title but i'll first admit im a long time Hopkins fan. I thought Hopkins clearly won the first fight bcuz Taylor faded the last 4 rounds. I thought Pavlik clearly won last night bcuz Taylor faded the last 2 -3 rounds. It didnt seem like milk dud got robbed to me. HBO found a new MW champ to support, somebody who doesnt need like 3 controversial decisions in a row to hold on to his belt and has a bigger fanbase.
Taylor got outlanded in both hopkins fights winky fight and both pavlik fights. your title means ****, no point at all.
