Ridiculus? Then your score must be ridiculous also since we just had a one round differential ;)
Robbery?
Taylor did a good job of keeping the fight in the center of the ring, I'll give him that, but he did not throw enough, and a lot of his punches were blocked by Kelly.
I had it 116-112 for Pavlik

Look, if you want to say Taylor's fewer, power punches outweighed the sheer number of Pavlik's punches that he landed, explain to me how Taylor couldn't see after the fight and Pavlik looked essentially unhurt. Pavlik landed more and did more damage. Period.
Did you see Taylor's right eye???
He landed plenty, you must be very pissed if you thought Taylor won this fight. It was closer imo than the judges had it but Pavlik landed more punches, showed ring generalship and kept constant pressure throughout the fight.
Taylor landed occasional effective flurries but did not do enough to win.
Pavlik's pasty bald, scrawny ass is going to be exposed. Where's my trilogy. Arum must have offered the judges more than Dibella tonight.
People should stop throwing around the word "robbery," it really devalues it.
Robbery= Roy Jones Jr. at the Olympics, not Taylor losing to Pavlik. Just because you thought he won doesn't make it a robbery, especially when you can find just as many, if not more, people who believe Pavlik won.
I felt it was 115-113 for Pavlik. Jermaine was being outworked by Pavlik towards the end. Taylor did land the more meaningful punches throughout the fight but Pavlik kept throwing and landing more in the end.
I had Taylor way in the lead in the beginning and the gap somewhat closing in the middle rounds and Pavlik taking the end of the fight. I guess finishing strong is more important than starting out strong.
