His fight against Miranda had him ready to face whatever he had to face against Taylor, and when he got put down he was able to get back up. Say what you want to say about Miranda, he showed Pavlik was a man and had him ready to fight. Your going to have to kill Pavlik to beat him. :deal
Duddy sucks as well. It would be awesome if both knocked each other out cold at the same time and the middleweight championship became vacant.
I am amazed at how many JT fans are still trying to claim that there was something controversial about this fight. Pavlik is a much better fighter than most people are willing to give him credit for. He is going to be the dominate 160 pound champ for a long time. When he moves up to 168 he will rule there as well. I am not basing this on anything other than watching him fight 6 times, and destroy 6 opponents. All except Pierre were suppose to be a "big step up in class," but Kelly put everyone of them to sleep! This kid is 25 years old, undefeated in 32 fights, he is now the middleweight champ, and he still has not been past the 8th round!! The Ghost is going to be giving other fighters nightmares for a long time to come! Boo
Pavlik has the potential to become a great fighter, but I hope he stays in Middleweight dominating instead of going to Super Middleweight.
