Taylor will rebound just fine.
I agree Taylor will rebound. I think he's always been a bit afraid of being KO'd or losing like that. I think it's held him back a bit. Now that it is out of his system he may be able to relax a bit in the ring and not being so tense and wasteful.

I dont agree with the judges scorecards, but Taylor was on his way to a UD. I thought Taylor was the one picking up the pace and Pavlik was starting to lose a little steam when the KO happened. But it could have been Pavlik was the more relaxed fighter and was just pacing himself more.

Great fight , no complaints here!

I don't think he was afraid of getting knocked out. He was just impatient and can't mentally wait to wear a fighter down, thats one of the reasons he gasses.

I picked Taylor to win. But after the second round I was holding my head and shaking it and the words Pavlik said rang in my head and those words were "Taylor will fade" ...
