If you ask me, Pavlik showed me that he has more skill at ending a fight.
IMO JT DID EVERYTHING to finish off Pav, it just so happen that PAV got back up and turned the table.
Re: Watching Pavlik Made me think of
im talkin about after he got up. Pavlik was still dead to the world..and jt went nuts, like jt even said " i should of thrown uppercuts like my corner was screaming"
And just to point out, when JT was hurt, pavlik used a left uppercut, then a right uppercut to pretty much seal the deal.
Re: Watching Pavlik Made me think of
I'm just happy JT really came to fight this time. I've always liked him but I too have been put off by his recent fights. Hopefully, he'll come back with some head movement in his game. GREAT FIGHT!

Just what I was thinking, JT had the luxury of always being the bigger man in the ring now he fought somebody his size even a bit larger. Well IMO JT still has the ability to beat Pav, JT is still the faster guy who can bring punches in bunches and probably better skill.
Well he didnt show that he had better skill last night. Early on Pavlik was the sitting duck but after the 2nd round he adjusted and actually outboxed Taylor. I think that Taylor has become so used to fighting defensive fighters that he thinks he can be one. But hes not. He made one of the biggest amateur mistakes last ight ad that was backing straight up. Against a rangy puncher is even worse. Then he was on the ropes which is also a big mistake.
