I thought it was close, but thought Pavlik won. Surprised a fair number of folk on here are saying Taylor won. Not as surprised as I was with the judge who scored it 117 - 111 though.
What was that about?
Also thought Setanta coverage was good. Think they are head and shoulders above Sky at the minute.
Loving no adverts too.
class.
Last night I scored it a draw, watched it again this morning and I feel Kelly eeked it out slightly.
I gave Taylor some rounds as I felt Kelly was out of focus and Taylor stole them with ring generalship, even though he was getting out hustled in 10 out of the 12 rounds.
Both guys fought smart and showed better defense than in the first fight. Kelly just took it at the end as he had more left in the tank and Jermaine was getting tired.
Robbery? ;D Funny shit.
Gamo's right, maybe Taylor could have got a draw, if you really liked the prettier, flashier flurries then maybe 7-5.
Taylor did good work at times but he just got outworked and lost the late rounds. He fought well though, better than I thought he would so credit to him.
120-108 Navarro, now that's fucking crazy.
If Pavlik kept hitting the gloves, then how come JT can't see out his right eye????????Quote:

I saw 5 rounds Pavlik definatly won and 5 Taylor definatly won the other 2 rounds could have goe either way but i scored it to Taylor for the cleaner work. The first fight i had Taylor up by 1 point due to the knockdown going into the 8th.Quote:

Not a robbery,I had Taylor up by one point but no robbery at all.Hey, I plead the 5th and blame the Coronas :cool:.Both showed great boxing and fought a well thought out game plan.Taylor appears far from shot and Pavlik Is a comer .Both showed Improvement.
Alot of people were treating this rematch like Taylor was being walked to the firing squad going in and That was not the case.I dont put alot of stock in HBO's punch #'s and the direct correlation to that =winning a round.Sometimes I wonder If they score a hit everytime Lampley shouts "BIG LEFT" etc.I know they contribute and might seem useful but Save the punch counting for the Amatuers and Olympics Imo.I try to break a round into three minutes and score on effective punching and ring generalship.A guy can land 10 thudding jabs and get countered 1 or 2 shots that move him In return....pick your poison.A fight is a case by case ,RBR affair.
BTW I was in a place where I could watch it closely but couldn't hear much of it so who was HBO cheerleading for this time? Didn't seem like they were as much on the Taylor bandwagon as usual last time.
I sent some Bad Rep. your way for calling the fight a robbery. A robbery is when theres a 'CLEAR' winner and the other guy wins.Quote:

It was however a great fight. Jermain did great and I thought he was going to get knocked out again but none the less, and the bottom line is that Taylor got chased out of the Middle Weight division by Pavlik.
Did we really need that big orange-red arrow danny? :)
i thought pavlik won easily
I just watched the fight and anyone who calls this a robbery is a fucking idiot. Casamayor - Santa Cruz was a robbery, Forrest - Quartey was a robbery, this was a close, competitive fight; the right fighter was awarded the victory. I had it for Pavlik by 1 round, with 1 round scored even. I gave Taylor the benefit of the doubt in at least one round I would've otherwise scored an even round or for Pavlik. The scorecards were a bit off in my opinion, but Pavlik won the fight. Lampley encapsulated the entire fight with one comment in the 12th round, "Pavlik throws three punches, Taylor one."
Taylor almost completely redeemed himself in my eyes though, great fight on his part and he almost pulled it off. He's lucky there wasn't more time left in the 11th round after Pavlik landed that body shot though.
I really want to see Taylor - Kessler, Taylor - Wright II (I might be the only one), or Taylor - Miranda. Lucian Bute's manager (I think it was his manager) said they would be willing to fight JT next as well.
I agree 100%, have some rep.Quote:

Jermaine gave a great account of himself, gave us a nice fight and no doubt there's more to see in the future.
