Taylor needs to earn my respect back in this one, he certainly has his opportunity against the exciting albeit one-dimensional Pavlik.

People seem to forget that Taylor's last 3 opponents were southpaws. It's very hard to look good against left handers. Taylor's jab was absent against them. That won't be the case against Pavlik. Taylor's jab will be a dominating factor against the come forward Pavlik.

I think Taylor will win the one clearly, like VD said either by UD or late round stoppage. I'm in no way a Taylor fan, but I think he brings too much skill to the table, and Pavlik won't bring anything he hasn't seen before.
I'd love to be proven wrong though.

as bad as taylor has look, this is still the a big step up for pavlik. guys tend to forget that just because of the miranda fight. Taylor by u.d bad night for pavlik.

Taylor wins this fight easily. After several difficult fights in a row he's facing a nice orthodox fighter who is easy to hit.
