Trainers can make a difference in rounds like the 5th & 6th round of their previous match up. Steward was telling Taylor that Pavlik was spent...that he had nothing left & the next thing you know...Taylor's knocked the fwock out!

Burns would have coaxed Taylor into a better mentality...but I'm not so sure that a sound frame of mind is an easy thing to master after youv'e had your brain knocked into the top of your skull.

I honestly think that Taylor will fair better this time...but I still believe that Pavlik can beat him again. If Taylor boxes smart he could wrangle a decision...but I don't see him stopping Pavlik.

I'd actually like to see a draw & then Pavlik fight someone else & then have a third bout end in Kelly's favor.
Trainers can make the difference, but it's going to be hard to get right back in with the same and only guy that has brutally knocked you out. Jermaine may just come out in the 1st couple of rounds and try for the k.o. he mismanaged in the 1st fight. If he does that, unsuccessfully, he'll spend himself and then we know what'll happen then. The last fight JT was ahead on the cards and probably would have gotten a gift decision, just like some thought he did in several previous fights. Seeing as how he's not the HBO poster boy anymore, I wonder if he can pull out gift decisions anymore{I personally didn't have JT winning before the k.o.}. He'll have to fight alot smarter this time, but knowing Pavlik can hurt him at anytime has got to be something he'll worry about. Pavlik will make adjustments also, if he's smart, so it should be a good one if Taylor comes in right. I hope that if JT wins they have a 3rd also, and wonder if Pavlik's camp can put a rematch clause in the contract this time But I would rather see Pavlik break Taylor again and go onto other guys, and maybe they'll meet again at SM.
