That being said, I don't know if Taylor's ever been in the ring with a pressure fighter like Pavlik who happens to pack one hell of a punch.
I think this fight comes down to Taylor's jab (if he uses it) and his superior footwork, speed, and defense - he'll make the slower Pavlik miss a lot I think; Pavlik seems to have the reputation for tiring in the later rounds.
But goddamn I hope Taylor loses.
