Vazquez-Marquez II honored Fight of the Year

[ICB]

While I did enjoy the fight...I'm still sticking with Pavlik Taylor...as I sit through it yet again tonight.

I think at the moment Pavlik vs Taylor should of got Fight Of The Year and Vasquez vs Marquez 2 should of got round of the year for there classic 3rd round.

Agreed. Just cut of the tape again about 5 minutes ago. My wife goes ape S*** every time I watch the fight...she's seen it about 3 times in the last 24 hours. Pavlik's the S*** in my book. I had picked him by late stoppage or a hard fought decision during the fight...had no clue he'd actually blast Taylor out like that.

Taylor's got a pretty sturdy chin...so that's gotta mean Pavlik can crack. Look at what he did against Miranda also. The shots he took & then the accuracey that he returned with...pretty crazy.

back Wacko i must have watched Taylor vs Pavlik about 20 times and the ending about 40 times one of the best Middleweight Title fights in ages there hasn't been exciting Middleweight fights in ages because there hasn't been any exciting World Champions at Middleweight so thats another reason im glad Pavlik won so we can finally see some exciting fights at Middleweight and i also picked Pavlik by TKO late i wasn't expecting Pavlik to stop Taylor as early as that i thought Pavlik would win in the 10th round.

And as for Pavlik i been a fan of his for awhile i really like Pavlik one of my favorite fighters at the moment the way he dismantled Miranda was damn impressive and what was even more impressive is that Miranda hit Pavlik flush and Pavlik walked right through Miranda's shot and gave him one sided beating and Miranda is tough guy so Pavlik must hit damn hard to drop him that many times and stop him and as for Taylor's chin well i was never quite sure of Taylor's chin i never see a hard hitter hit Taylor flush i know Hopkins hit Taylor flush but Hopkins is type of fighter that wears you down with accumulation of punches and Hopkins didn't put enough hurt on Taylor early and Wright, Ouma, Spinks, are not hard hitters by any means but when i watched Pavlik fight my opinion changed Taylor showed he had good chin the amount of punches he took in 7th and how long he stayed up was damn impressive Taylor only went down when basically his body couldn't take no more i would love to see a rematch i am not writing Taylor off either i see his early fights and he has all the tools to be great fighter but he has some problems like nervous energy he burns himself out too quick and he needs to learn to control himself but no doubt Taylor has all the tools to be a great fighter and if he gets Burns back then bring on Taylor vs Pavlik 2.
