    Tonight was great we saw pure heart and will from Kelly Pavlik, congrats to him and all his fans.

    I like both fighters, and thought that experience against better opponents would give Taylor a bit of an edge. Seems I left out some important intangibles....heart, hunger, will.

    After seeing them in action against each other tonight, I think Pavlik would win the rematch. I think they're sort of similar fighters, both depend on their jab and right hand. However, Pavlik has better form, technique, and a longer reach. Taylor does have better better head movement and athleticism though. Still, unless Taylor is able to finish Pavlik early, like he almost did tonight, Pavlik wins takes it again.

    What do you guys think?

    What I saw in this fight is exactly what I already knew. Either man can win by knockout.

    I don't see Taylor surprising Pavlik with that left hook again. Pavlik only has to be responsible defensively and the right hand will be open for him all night. Taylor has it in his genes to hold his left hand low. He'll always suffer from right handers, ask Hopkins.
