This should be a cracking fight and will tell us ALOT about both guys!!
I figure the same thing Gamo; it will be a great fight and win or lose they will both come out better for it. If Kelly loses, a learning experience and he won't be going anywhere for a while. If Taylor loses, maybe he'll get that old fire back he hasn't seemed to have and come back hell on wheels. I look forward to this more than any other fight this year{only because I have no doubt my boy Hatton will get thrashed badly,lol}Quote:

I think this fight will bring the best out of JT. That is not to say that he will win though. This will be a great fight.
I chuckle at the thought of Jermain Taylor in the Pocono Mountains fishing........ He must be a pretty nice guy.
Im rooting for JT in this match i think he will be be super focused knowing what he is up against....and then i Want to see Calzaghe and Tayler....We should have had this match before JT priced himself out a
few months ago....Ducked calzaghe ...no excuses if he moves to super middleweight though....
I just hope Joe dosn't decide to go LH...he would look like a bit of a dick
CC good article. Really looking forward for this one, hope it brings the best out of Taylor. It sounds like an exciting fight, I don't think it'll be an outright brawl though, I'm expecting Taylor to outbox him, but hopefully Pavlik will get through often enough to make it a good fight.
CC back bomp.I'm not sure if it will be an outright brawl either but I do expect it to be exciting. I mean,saying that,I don't recall Taylor putting on an amazing boxing performance before? So he will have to stand and trade at some point unless he is completely re inventing himself.
If Taylor beats Pavlik without the assistance of the judges I will be VERY impressed
I don't really understand how beating miranda got pavlik all this popularity all of the sudden but like a lot of us here i thought he was pretty decent before that, but i feel most are looking at only his win over miranda and making him some great fighter strictly off of that and that confuses me. But anyhow i don't see a back to normal taylor having to much of a problem with pavlik, the recent version of taylor i still feel will win but it would be awfully difficult.
The recent version of Taylor is dreadful. Pavlik will have a field day with that version. Taylor needs to up his game, otherwise he will get bloodied up.Quote:

Nice to see you back man. Taylor's gotta use that jab though to win this one.Quote:

Taylor needs to earn my respect back in this one, he certainly has his opportunity against the exciting albeit one-dimensional Pavlik.
People seem to forget that Taylor's last 3 opponents were southpaws. It's very hard to look good against left handers. Taylor's jab was absent against them. That won't be the case against Pavlik. Taylor's jab will be a dominating factor against the come forward Pavlik.Quote:

I'd love to be proven wrong though.
as bad as taylor has look, this is still the a big step up for pavlik. guys tend to forget that just because of the miranda fight. Taylor by u.d bad night for pavlik.
Taylor wins this fight easily. After several difficult fights in a row he's facing a nice orthodox fighter who is easy to hit.
