it was a close fight till the last two rounds when kelly pretty much tookover.kelly's shots definitely didn't look as hard as in the first ,but it was probably more of taylors movement.taylor kept his back off the ropes most of the night which as one of the downfalls of the first fight.kelly was busy the whole night while jermain would slip a quick 1-2.jermain was hurt bad to the body the end of the 11th.kelly just outworked him in the end.no doubt a close fight though
I had Taylor banking enough rounds in the beginning to win the fight. I don't remember the exact score but I watched it on shitty chinnese channel live then rewatched it on HBO and came out with 7-5 Taylor.
the posters and columist that say jt was robbed were fooled by the slight improvements that he made that allowed him to last the distance. he really was there to prove to himself that he would not get KTFO again. he did not try and take the title (even though it was at 166) away or rip into KP. Pavlik dictated thae pace. KP only fault was that he showed him to much respect and did not go for the ko. alot of people including my self thought it would lbe a quicker destruction. when it went the distance soem of JT blinded fans saw this as some achivement a thought he deserved the W.
i didn't think this was a boring fight at all i like technical fights i had taylor winning 7-5 but it was razor-thin in some rounds that i gave to taylor because he had more flashy combinations i had no problem with kelly getting the nod
when was taylor able to dictate the pace. who land the more , and the more affective shots. JT landed how many flashy combo's?
Boring and technical are not necessarily synonymous. I did not accuse Pavlik-Taylor II of being technical. :yep
taylor landed a double left hook in one of the middle rounds that was sick anyway i gave taylor rds. 2-7 and the 10th i gave pavlik the first round, 8 and 9, and 11 and 12 115-113 taylor as i said in my previous post, though, i felt a lot of the rounds were razor-thin and i would tend to default to taylor because his style resonates with my "taste centers" more... let's just say the rounds pavlik won were a lot clearer than the ones i had taylor winning and i wasn't surprised he lost at all
