WHO THE HELL IS GONNA BEAT PAVLIK AT MIDDLEWEIGHT ??
First off, congrats to Pavlik, hes a great fighter and a good guy just as JT is. Now to your question. Did you not watch the fight? Clearly taylor has what it takes to KO Pavlik just as Pavlik can KO him. They will have a rematch and taylor will have an excellent shot at the KO just as pavlik will. What really caught my eye is the fact that Pavlik could have been KO'ed in the 2nd round meaning jermaines power was enough and he did not have to wear pavlik down to do it. Pavliks were great shots but more accumulation than anything just as pavlik said himself after the fight. As for JTs power, pavlik said himself that Taylors shots are like getting kicked by a mule so he has some serious power, Taylor also acknowledged that Pavlik was the hardest puncher he had faced also. Can anyone say WARD vs Gatti? Give credit to both fighters, I believe they are the top 2 in the middleweight division right now, both came to fight, both landed their shots, both got hurt, in the end it was just kellys night but who knows, next time it might be Jermaines fight, but he has to learn how to finish like pavlik does, if he had the same killer instinct coupled with discipline, timing and shot placement that pavlik showed in the 7th, I'm confident the fight would have ended in the 2nd, but this seems to be something jermaine still lacks, going for the kill while staying calm and under control, instead he is wild and out of control, but if he can fix this flaw, who knows next time. Great Great fight, if you really love boxing, then you really loved theis fight regardless of the outcome, both guys "brung it" so to speak.
