Who's it gonna be? Pavlik or Taylor?

Taylor by decision.

 

Pavlik boxed a great fight the first go round. Taylor has been squeaking by opponents for a while now, and his half ass preparation finally caught up with him. I think that he actually learns from his mistakes this time and gets the decision over pav.

 

I think what Taylor needs to do is to try to go the distance this time, avoid any exchanges, just use his speed advantage and preserve energy so that he can run the last 3 rounds having the fight in the bag (on judges scorecards not ours though). I dont think he can do it though. Pavlik by KO

 

Taylor is going to get him this time!

 

Taylor!!! Taylor!!! Taylor!!!

 

Look back in the archives i am not explaining myself again. Jermaine Taylor is going to blast him out..in 8 rounds.

 

I think that taylor will get him this time

 

Taylor really has to tweak his style or he'll get hurt again. He uses the Trap Stance(like mayweather) and it worked against Pavlik but JTs problem is that the left drops way to low and Pavlik knows the stances weakness and unless JT can keep that left up and tight to the rib ( as the style call for) it might be the same fight as last time. Also JTs defense has gotten poor work on that to.:bart

 

he has a better physique and is better looking, and almost knocked pavlik out in the last fight.

 

also might i add taylor is the SBA

 

JT has more heart than the last fight and has something to prove but I'm taken Pavlik he's too relentless.

 

I voted Pavlik. In Fight #1, IMO, Taylor had a good fight plan, and he was in excellent condition.

Taylors game plan problem seems to be an inability to think well when he's under pressure, and he reverts to unsound instincts. Think of him as a talented QB who doesn't get the job done when he faces an agressive D-line (remember Jeff George? Deer in the headlights) Stamina is also a big question with him, and the only way I think this improves is if the move up in weight solves that issue.

Pavlik already has both these factors in his favor, he thinks well, and he got stronger during the first fight, even after the brutal 2nd round.

The last piece is how will Taylor react when he gets blasted by a right hand? or if he overcompensate for the right and gets caught cold by a left uppercut? That KO from fight #1 is going to haunt him come time for fight #2.

 

Pavlik....hopefully because if he doesnt Pavlik-Taylor 3 will be made

 

Thats how I see it. Good post.:good
