You guys are in for a real surprise come September 29

We'll probably shake our collective heads in disbelief again.

 

If Taylor wins convincingly, I would have no problem with that. I am picking Pavlik to win by KO, but despite who I root for and predict to win, I always want the "best man" to have their hand raised at the end.

 

Somehow say that he got a gift decision even if the fight ends with Taylor knocking out Pavlik:yep

 

....ill wake up from my dream and laugh my ass off as Taylor picks his sorry us up after getting ktfo ....


**** taylor he is ****

 

I don't count out Taylor like a lot of people do, but I think he should be the underdog. Taylor needs to learn how to stick to a gameplan, and listen to his trainer. If he does that, he can win.

 

Like I said in the previous Taylor-Pavlik thread, Taylor is going to shine and regain his reputation via UD. He'll look exactly like the Taylor of old who used to beat up every middleweight contender.

 

Taylor is the Souleymane M'Baye at Middleweight! or is he the Sven Ottke of the USA? Maybe both. I cannot find a champion I am less impressed with.

This champion is poor, a decent middleweight would KHTFO. I'm impressed with Pavlik after the Miranda bout.
It's likely Pavlik (will KO him) and Arthur Abraham would beat him.

atsch He's there for the taking. It's almost as if he doesn't want to be in the ring.

 

As i've said before: I like both fighters, but I pick Pavlik KO 7.

 

If Taylor fights like he fought Winky, I don't see how Pavlik's going to stand a chance. I havent' seen much of the guy, but it seems that style-wise, he's at a big disadvantage here. But considering how bad Taylor's last few performances were, who knows what'll happen.

 

The old Jermain Taylor is dead. Pavlik tko 5.

 

Only way that taylor wins is by a gift---AGAIN.

 

Taylor seems to lack the killer instinct necessary to defeat a fighter as hungry as Pavlik is at the moment. He has been way too flatfooted and stationary of late and has ben lucky his most recent fights have been against equally passive fighters. Pavlik will surely put a great amount of pressure on him so we will quickly see if he has the heart to remain champion. I also predict a Pavlik ko around rd7.

 

a nice surprise would be Taylor saying "I'm paying for your ticket"

 

i think most guys are favouring taylor
