My score card:

Taylor: 09 10 09 09 10 09 = 56

Pavlik: 10 08 10 10 09 10 = 57

The 7th round was decent but Pavlik just kept landing that brutal Jab which was just snapping Taylor's head back. Taylor's face was swelling quickly. Kelly was the aggressor for most of that round. Taylor was trying very hard but he was getting worked over by a very strong Kelly Pavlik. Taylor was fading fast while Kelly seemed to be getting stronger and that is why he got knocked out becuase he took too many big shots. (It was the overall accumulation factor) Credit to Taylor for hanging in there but not many people can sustain the amount of power shots landed by Pavlik. His knock out ratio speaks for itself.



I might add that Kelly has already proven he can knock out fighters who have never been knocked out before.
