Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
this was a great fight, i enjoyed it from start to finish, but my personal opnion is taylor was outclassing pavlik throughout the fight. Great respect to Pavlik and im a big fan of his, in the 7th round he hit taylor with a cracking right hand but i cant understand why Taylor didnt take a knee....perhaps he didnt know where he was from that great right hand.....BIG respect to Pavlik ...Bring on the rematch

No he wasn't go have a look at punchstats or just use your common sense there was no more than 1 point in it either.
As for Taylor he didn't take a knee because he didn't no where he was its bit hard to think of things like that when your getting hit by monster punches by a monster puncher like Pavlik seriously would you be thinking of that when you don't know where you are and are seeing stars ??

Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
that true i just thought of instict of boxing for so long he would just automatically go dwn on a knee but it was 1 hell of a right hand
-
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
Taylor was up against the ropes. Had he been in the middle of the ring, he may have had more of a chance to take a knee. In any case, the pounding he took was incredible.
-
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
The fight was very close. Maybe JT felt he could weather the storm and wouldn't concede a 10-8 9or worse) round.
-
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
That is a great question but I think only Taylor knows the answer to that one but..
One can only speculate and say maybe it was pride?
Taylor beat Pavlik in the Olympic trials of 2001. Taylor thought he was all that because he beat the LION of lions B-Hop. (IMO he did not beat B-Hop) anyway.. Maybe he thought he was not that hurt and thought he could shake it off. Had Taylor taken a knee, he would have shown weakness in a fight were he was supposedly dominating Pavlik, had him hurt, queering, out on his feet and down on the canvas in the second round.
I think Pride played a big factor. I am sure if he had to do it all over again, he would have taken the knee, who knows. I loved seeing Taylor laying in that corner like a garbage bag. That was joy, joy, joy.
I wear a suit! That makes me more of a champion than Kelly Pavlik.
"Jermain Taylor"
Although Taylor showed some heart, Kelly Pavlik showed tremendous heart and then some.
;)
If you watch the fight again, you will see that when Kelly sees Taylor is hurt, Kelly shifts gears and lands one of two upper cuts that would seal the deal. The window of opportunity that Taylor had to take a knee was not long enough.
Who said Kelly was slow?
Fast enough to knock you out :lickish:
Kelly reminds me of Cotto. You can hurt him but he comes back and taxes and waxes that azz.
;D

Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
In any case, the ref did the only he COULD do under the circumstances.
-
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
Most boxers dont think to take a knee. That would be a thought that would require a somewhat clear head. His instinct was to cover up.
-
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
I thought it was possibly a little too quick on the stoppage - until I saw the replay. That left uppercut in the corner had him going and then Pavlik caught him with a left hook that made Jermain go limp. Awesome finish - I think it just hit Taylor too fast.
REMATCH!!
-
Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
Taylor's face looked like a Shar-Pei in the slow-mo replay. He wasn't thinking anything at all when that happened.

Well said dude. I agree, if Kelly can do anything, he can finish an opponent very fast once he knows he's touched a chin real good. Taylor didn't have time to take a knee. Actually the very 1st shot that kind of stunned Taylor was out towards the middle of the ring, he looked kind of unsteady, so he should of taken a knee there 1st if anything. He should have, cause' Kelly knows how to finish fast and I think JT forgot that, or pride got him. I myself didn't like to see JT layed out, I have always personally been a fan of his. I felt for him down there, though I sure was glad PavMan won, and that was the only way Kelly could have won. I don't know about the rest of you, but before the fight I thought JT looked real nervous in the locker room. I've seen most of his fights and I never saw him looking nervous like last night. Maybe I saw it wrong, but he sure seemed apprehensive in the locker room and in the ring. I think nerves played more against him than anything and especially after Kelly survived that canvas check. He seemed in great shape but went to the ropes one too many times. If he really wants to get that belt back this k.o. is the best wake-up call for him. I think he'll be back stronger and better, but Kelly will learn from this fight too, so the rematch should be very interesting.

just watched the fight again i think it was a bit closer than i first thought but it was 1 hell of a fight and i hope they have a rematch

cc dude, i agree i think he did have a second where he was wobbled where he could've taken a knee.. i yelled it out as soon as i saw his legs get weak to just go down.. he would've only had about 30 seconds left to go in the round to make it out, and it would've just been a knockdown not the end of the fight, so he'd at least have a chance to continue.. It was definitely a rough round right from the beginning for Taylor.. he took a LOT of solid jabs right to the chin and it was definitely his worst round.. would've been interesting if the fight continued.

Coz his brain was so messed up already to think intelligently from the 2 bombs that Pavlik unleashes.

Well, it seems that you run wild on this board without very many checking your chin, so I will. referring to taylor as a garbage bag shows no class on your part, danny you've got a big mouth

Taylor had just started going down when the ref stepped in, this is a championship fight, and Taylor was not getting brutalized before the knockdown. As a result of these three factors together, the ref shouldn't have stepped in when he did. He should have let Taylor fall--again, as Taylor was already beginning to do--and then take it from there. Lennox Lewis suggested the same thing, in his own words.

I had Taylor winning the fight, but was keeping score in my head and can't recall what rounds I gave who at this point.

Re: Why didnt Taylor take a knee??
Taylor didn't take a knee because he was getting hammered on the ropes. It's hard to take a knee in the middle of eating a 8 punch combination1 Man,the way he fell,I was worried for a second that something had happened. He just collpased in a sitting position,the dude didn't even try to get up!

LOL when you try to take a knee under those conditions you always end up taking two knees.

I was worried also, as it looked like a puppet getting the strings cut out from under him. Just motionless and didn't even attempt to grab the ropes or anything. Good call, as he would of gotten hurt if he somehow even managed to get up.

It's comments like that, which will make Pavlik fans or even fans in general want to see Kelly get knocked out now just to see you quieted.
But you don't annoy me THAT much, but you're not helping Pavlik with comments like that

I think people that chose Pavlik have a right to gloat in light of remarks along these lines from Taylor and his camp:
Pavlik is average.
We beat him in the amateurs,it will be easy.
This is an easy fight
And the best one(amongst amny I didn't mention)-Steward:"this will be a tough fight....for 1 round"
When a guy and his camp make claims such as those and get KTFO by a humble,strong as an on kid,of course his fans are going to gloat. If you're going to open your mouth,back it up.JT didn't.

Smoger stepped in not as he started to go down, but only when Taylor's hands and his head dropped significantly. Rewatch the fight in slow-mo, right before the ultimate end. A left cross gets JT to start to wilt and Smoger gets in close but doesn't stop it, then, Pavlik lands another left hook and Taylors hands just drop along with his head.
I have rewound and watched Taylor's reaction when the camera is on him and he is still on the floor. I could swear he says "did I get knocked out?" Smoger did the right thing.
