Kelly also did great by not getting flustered. Yes he is the champion and all, but he is still young and did not unravel when things were not going his way. Jermaine took away much of Pavlik's bread and Butter punches, but Kelly still poured it on and took what was given to him.

Both guys are true champions in my eyes. Both fought gamely and both earned their paychecks. Pavlik and Taylor both showed us great composure.
Yeah it was a good fight, more tactical than I imagined it would be. I hope these 2 fight a couple of more times, lol. They might end up being good friends like Ward/Gatti when it's all said and done I'm anxious to see JT get back to fighting and going to 168. I want him and Miranda to get banging.
