Pavlik was CONSISTENTLY landing left jabs and his power right hand over the course of the 7 rounds it might not be as flashy and quick as Taylor's but I'm pretty sure it's doing some damage. JT was being backed up by Pavlik and he can't do anything about it, for the first time JT actually fought somebody as big as him if not bigger. The accumulation of power punches from Pavlik beat Taylor
I agree with you. People, let's not discredit what Pavlik had done by blaming Taylor. Taylor had done his best in the second round. As ICB had said, he gave 44 powershots but still Pavlik recovered. Give the recognition to Pavlik for surviving that round.
