I thought Miranda vs Pavlik would be close but Pavlik dominated and Spinks giving Taylor all he could handle wow what a strange night of boxing anyone else agree ??
all you can think what next for these fighters
pavlik dsrves a title shot against taylor
miranda still fight good boxers or fight for his confidence
taylor keep fighting jr. middleweights or fight calzaghe or winky
spinks spinks stay in middleweight where ther is bigger fights for him
this night was wierd i had 10$ dollars on taylor so it was all right
had a feeling all along this kind of night would happen ;D
CC bro...that was a gamblers' result...I'd but £4 on Taylor to win on points, so I was pretty pleased to see that result come through. Damn weird night though, I agree.Quote:

A couple things I took from the fights:
1. Well I guess fighters really were ducking Kelly Pavlik
2. Jermain Taylor never seems to have the right approach for any of his opponents but he still wins....maybe as he gets more seasoned he'll get better but I've said that for a couple years now.
3. Edison Miranda isn't proving anything to anyone by trying to stop right crosses with his face
4. I think Kelly Pavlik could give Joe Calzaghe a run for his money
#4 might happen...Joe is looking for any excuse to duck Kessler....Quote:

Taylor's quality has fallen & his faults are now front & center. Steward was livid last night for the duration. Taylor will go down in his next few matches...let him fight Calzaghe & watch utter domination.Quote:

I like Pavlik...but he's way to open to beat Calzaghe. He knows that, I'm sure.Quote:

It's amazing to me that with each match up...everyone rips Joe apart until he comes through with the win. Why is that? Joe's a great champion & a hell of a fighter & he's a fantastic ambassador of the sport.
He was fantastic & a total gent on ESPN.
Damn good post ;)Quote:

He couldn't finish a guy whose jaw was barely still attached to his face. He looked completely out of ideas against Allan Green, and remember Green floored him with about the only punch he threw on the night.
I said after the Green fight that Miranda would be a whipping boy for the world's elite and will end up suffering as many career knockouts as Iran Barkley.
What was it that people saw in him that made them think he could beat Pavlick or any top fighter? ???
Time for Miranda to fight Lacey!

that is true. Have you ever seen anyone say sad click during a post? I do not think I have. Probably since the guy would get sad clicks bombarded on him after he would do that. Take care.Quote:

And although I still like Jermaine Taylor, he hasn't impressed me since he fought Raul Marquez. In that fight he showed a good ability to adapt, but I haven't seen that since.
It was hilarious to see Stewart going crazy as the fight progressed. With each passing round the level of profanity picked up a notch. I couldn't stop laughing ("he did what we said he was going to do; try to take the bulls***t championship").
