I loved seeing Taylor laying in that corner like a garbage bag. That was joy, joy, joy.
Well, it seems that you run wild on this board without very many checking your chin, so I will. referring to taylor as a garbage bag shows no class on your part, danny you've got a big mouth

Taylor had just started going down when the ref stepped in, this is a championship fight, and Taylor was not getting brutalized before the knockdown. As a result of these three factors together, the ref shouldn't have stepped in when he did. He should have let Taylor fall--again, as Taylor was already beginning to do--and then take it from there. Lennox Lewis suggested the same thing, in his own words.

I had Taylor winning the fight, but was keeping score in my head and can't recall what rounds I gave who at this point.
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
Taylor didn't take a knee because he was getting hammered on the ropes. It's hard to take a knee in the middle of eating a 8 punch combination1 Man,the way he fell,I was worried for a second that something had happened. He just collpased in a sitting position,the dude didn't even try to get up!

LOL when you try to take a knee under those conditions you always end up taking two knees.

I was worried also, as it looked like a puppet getting the strings cut out from under him. Just motionless and didn't even attempt to grab the ropes or anything. Good call, as he would of gotten hurt if he somehow even managed to get up.

Taylor beat Pavlik in the Olympic trials of 2001. Taylor thought he was all that because he beat the LION of lions B-Hop. (IMO he did not beat B-Hop) anyway.. Maybe he thought he was not that hurt and thought he could shake it off. Had Taylor taken a knee, he would have shown weakness in a fight were he was supposedly dominating Pavlik, had him hurt, queering, out on his feet and down on the canvas in the second round.
I think Pride played a big factor. I am sure if he had to do it all over again, he would have taken the knee, who knows. I loved seeing Taylor laying in that corner like a garbage bag. That was joy, joy, joy.
I wear a suit! That makes me more of a champion than Kelly Pavlik.
"Jermain Taylor"
Although Taylor showed some heart, Kelly Pavlik showed tremendous heart and then some.
;)
If you watch the fight again, you will see that when Kelly sees Taylor is hurt, Kelly shifts gears and lands one of two upper cuts that would seal the deal. The window of opportunity that Taylor had to take a knee was not long enough.
Who said Kelly was slow?
Fast enough to knock you out :lickish:
Kelly reminds me of Cotto. You can hurt him but he comes back and taxes and waxes that azz.
;D
It's comments like that, which will make Pavlik fans or even fans in general want to see Kelly get knocked out now just to see you quieted.
But you don't annoy me THAT much, but you're not helping Pavlik with comments like that

I think people that chose Pavlik have a right to gloat in light of remarks along these lines from Taylor and his camp:
Pavlik is average.
We beat him in the amateurs,it will be easy.
This is an easy fight
And the best one(amongst amny I didn't mention)-Steward:"this will be a tough fight....for 1 round"
When a guy and his camp make claims such as those and get KTFO by a humble,strong as an on kid,of course his fans are going to gloat. If you're going to open your mouth,back it up.JT didn't.

Smoger stepped in not as he started to go down, but only when Taylor's hands and his head dropped significantly. Rewatch the fight in slow-mo, right before the ultimate end. A left cross gets JT to start to wilt and Smoger gets in close but doesn't stop it, then, Pavlik lands another left hook and Taylors hands just drop along with his head.
I have rewound and watched Taylor's reaction when the camera is on him and he is still on the floor. I could swear he says "did I get knocked out?" Smoger did the right thing.

Oh I don't have a problem with gloating.
But let's not forget Danny_G was the one who posted the Pavlik "Don't believe the hype" picture ;)
Pavlik now beats Taylor and he's all over him. Remember that Jetson?
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
geez I'm gonna rewatch it and look for it... he looked real bad when he was slouched in the corner
