Pavlik-Dirrell is interesting to me
I've always thought that Jermain Taylor just has bad stamina. He has a lot of nervous energy every fight, and so down the stretch he gets very tired from not being relaxed in the ring.

Antonio Tarver is the same way. Both guys are usually crap in the 11th and 12th rounds, because they are tense in the ring and not relaxed.
