Taylor by mid to late round stoppage.
any reason why you think Taylor will stop him?

To me the winner will be decided by taylor, if he truns up hungry he will take the UD, otherwise pavilk will stop him or take the UD...

No way do i see the soft hitting taylor stopping pavilk tho, not after he took some big big shots from miranda and didn't get stopped. Taylor couldn't stop guys like ouma or spinks, guys whos punches he could walk through, pavilk wont be stopped by taylor.
Taylor is a better fighter than Miranda. He's more technically sound offensively. And his defense is way better than Mirandas. Also while Pavlik did take some shots from Miranda, the shots he took were not Miranda's best. Miranda spent most of the fight going backwards. He never really got in a groove offensively. Pavilk can not fight Taylor the same way he fought Miranda. If he does. Taylor will knock him out.
