Taylor was losing that fight from the outset. After the first round I was convinced Taylor was getting ko'd. It looked to me like a repeat of the Miranda fight. Pavlik was landing more and harder, although taking some good ones also. Then the second, obviously I thought Pavlik was done. The first shot that wobbled him, then being ignorant and trying to make like it didn't hurt and make faces got him hit several more times which really hurt him. I was very impressed with his ability to recover and dominate the rest of the fight.
In my opinion Pavlik won every round except the 2nd. He was walking Taylor down and landing hard jabs and straight rights. The result was inevitable in my opinion. I don't think Taylor wins a rematch. I think it's Pavlik who knows he can be hurt now and doesn't get silly when he gets hit.
