I wonder why you say that? I have a sneaking suspicion....

Anyways, Pavlik backed up possibly the hardest guy to back up in the division in Miranda. Backing Taylor up, as Wright showed, is what kills Taylor. Taylor did not win a single round in that fight when Wright wasn't flatfooted. Pavlik has a good jab and what comes after it is even better. Taylor will have plenty of opportunity to land, but he would have to be busy because he is not a counter puncher.

I need to see the whole Miranda - Pavlik fight (though I think pieced together I think I basically have seen the whole thing, I've definitely got the jist of the fight. Taylor used to be a busy, aggressive fighter. Where did that go? If he has any hope of beating Pavlik, he'll need that old Taylor to come back.

Begrudgingly, I'm saying Pavlik by points.
