Pavlik Vs Taylor 2, Bilbo's rbr

Round 4

Both fighters seem to have settled into their gameplans now, it seems they are both looking at the fight going twelve rounds.

Taylor seems more lively Mancini is questioing Pavliks decision to arrive only a couple days ago and not giving himself time to aclimatise to the elevation.

His jab looks nice though, he's setting stuff up well from that.

Taylor beats him to the punch inside again though and lands with a big shot. He's not getting carried away though, just happy to score and not blow himself out.

Again very close round, I'll give it Taylor.

Dead even right now.

38-38

I got Taylor up 3-1 :D

Round 5

It seems that Taylor has adjusted well, it's turning into a boxing match which may suit Jermain better. Pavliks jab is still a big factor though, keeping Taylor at range.

Again Taylor beats him to the punch though. Pavlik is throwing more but Taylors punchers are definitely faster and sharper.

Good stinging jabs from Pavlik though, he's being much more active. I can sense this one having some controversial scoring if it goes the distance.

Again you really could make the case for either fighter here.

I hate to call a round even but honestly there's nothing seperating them after 5

Even

48-48

Taylor 4-1 :)

Round 6.

Again Pavlik marching forwards, similar story in the round so far. Pavlik throwing more and coming forwards, Taylor sharper and more accurate.

Judges could really be a huge factor here. Pavlik pressing more now but Taylor catches him again. Momemtum is with Taylor imo, great left hook to the body from Taylor.

It's a chess match and Taylor is moving his pieces well.

Pavlik lands with a right and Taylor looked like he felt it, comes back with a good jab of his own though.

It's a great performance so far from Taylor, he's certainly not lacking in self belief, I'll give it Taylor,

Taylor 58-57

Taylor is looking good. Beautiful jab. Much more relaxed then the first fight and looking confident

Taylor won the 6th....Pavlik looks like he could send Taylor flat but His defense Is sparce.
Pav does sort of slap here with the left but that right is deadly!!
Crowd going uproar in Taylor shouting.

I wonder who Bilbo picked in the prediction comp, :rolleyes:




spoiler










Kimbo Slice just knocked the fuck out of Tank Abott!

Gave the 1st to Pavlik for one punch, Taylor could very well have won every round thus far imo.

ESPN.com has it 4-2 Taylor right now.

Round 7

Doug Fishcer has it even at 3 rounds each. I think Taylor is ahead slightly.

Pavlik certainly needs to assert himself more. Apparently he's never gone beyond 10 rounds so his own stamina could be an issue.

Certainly Taylor doesn't look weary at all right now, it's Pavlik who seems a little slow. Another good body shot from Taylor, he certainly seems to have more purpose. Whether he can keep this pace going time will tell.

Again really close round nothing seperating them but I get the feeling Taylor's fight plan is being the better excecuted. He's making the fight take place at his pace and is nullifying Pavliks aggression.

Kelly needs to step it up

Taylor round again.

68-66

What a crummy night for my sopcast not to work

Taylor Is boxing Pavlik big .Bust him a few

I think Taylor is looking great. Slipping punches, landing that hard jab.

Pavlik needs the money punch to land and it's not gonna happen

Round 8,

I picked Pavlin by decision No Contest so not sure what you meant with that?

Pavlik needs to step up the pace imo, Taylor is looking very composed right now, he's found his groove.

Again he's landing some good shots, but Pavliks jab is keeping him away. Crowd trying to get behind Kelly.

It's the same story with each round, Taylor consistently beating Pavlik to the punch, good shot from Pavlik at the bell though, his best punch for a while.

Another close round but I think Taylor's ahead.

78-65 Taylor

5-3 Taylor per ESPN.

Lederman?

Round 9,

I really feel Pavlik needs a big round to change the pace of the fight. Taylor is being allowed to box and move. I have no idea how the judges would be scoring this though, history suggests that Taylor will be well ahead though.

Pavlik again comes forward but Taylor ties him up. Good solid punches from Taylor. Good jab from Pavlik, It's livening up now, Pavlik trying to establish himself, coming forward again, Taylor is backing up now. Definitely Pavliks best round of the fight.

He's getting back into the fight.

Pavlik round,

87-75 Taylor

Taylor looking pre- evolution man above the eyes now.Trading at times .Pav busted up also. Lampley lobbying In Rah-rah boy fashion.
Letterman 86-85 Pavlik

This must be a really close fight, everyone has it scored differently.

Im drunk a lil dont get your panties in a bunch I'm just f'in with ya...Im kind of out of it scorewise at this point...

Round 10

Taylor showed the first signs of tiredness to me at the end of that, Mancini disagrees though.

Pavlik needs to keep up the good work from the last round. He's marching through Taylor's punches now trying to land his own.

Taylor smartly tying him up though. Pavlik much more active now, solid jabs but some wild punches.

Good one two from Taylor he's got Pavliks attention. This fight is really reminiscent of the first Toney Sam Peter fight.

I'll give Pavlik this round through being the aggressor.

Dead even fight in my eyes Taylor ahead on my card by a point.

96-95 Taylor

Every close fight has gone Taylor's way. Can't see this one being any different.

Lederman 95-95 now, I have him ahead , Can you say trilogy ?

78-65 to Taylor???

I trust that's a typo? But seriously, looks like its a pickem fight, I arrived home just to see each one shoving potato chips down their gullets. Kinda!

ESPN 6-4 Taylor

I think Pavlik hurt Taylor to the body end of 11

Round 11,

Whatever happens now Jermian has redeemend himself he's giving Kelly a real stylistic problem. This is anybody's fight right now.

Good double left body hook from Taylor, he certainly seems the more explosive of the two. Pavlik has not looked like the offensive powerhouse in this fight.

Pavlik again pressing forward though, I think he's winning these rounds through being the aggressor. Pavlik has Taylor on the ropes, he's clinging on, Pavlik hurt him, Taylor is doing a lot of holding.

Good round for Pavlik

Now I've got it dead even!

106-106

I feel I am fairly unbiased in this fight and I think many are being general to Pavlik based on last fights performance. Taylor has been the superior technician, great movment, sharp jab, more active, more effective.

Final Round guys,

It's anybody's fight!

Taylor lands a great right hand and starts the round well. Pavlik needs to repsond to that. He's marching forward, Taylor a little wild with his shots now.

Taylor is tying Pavlik up, good solid attack from Pavlik, Taylor seems to be fading a little. Pavlik showing more desire in this last round.

Taylor fires fast but infrequently, Pavlik is slow but consistent. I'm giving this last round to Pavlik.

It's all over, VERY close fight

I give it to Pavlik by a single round with one round even

This is an awesome fight!!

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!!! Close fight.

Fuck me pavlik won but the first judge had it a bit too wide. Christ!

Unanimous decision

117-111
115-113
116-112

Pavlik wins it!

Doug Fischer had it identically to me 6-5-1 to Kelly Pavlik,

Not bad for my first rbr, at least I know I can score a fight with reasonable accuracy.

Taylor still looked good though, he certainly redeemed himself in my eyes and has a lot to offer at 168 especially when Calzaghe moves up.

Can anybody say Taylor vs Kessler?

Fuck yes!

fucking shit. Taylor was on the wrong side of the cards.

Thanks everybody for the commentary. Sounded like a good one. I almsot wish JT would have captured it so that we could have a good trilogy. We still might??

Anyway sounded like both fighters really represented themselves.

My gosh, the way people made it sound. I thought it was going to be way closer. I'm going to have to wait til the reshowing to see this for myself.

Good work Bilbo, that was pretty damn good, especially considering it was your 1st one.
