Even though I'm impressed that Taylor wants an immediate chance at him it should be at 160 for the title.

Anyway I think Pavlik wins again. I'm not sure what Taylor will do differently, will he be real cautious and try to hold Pavlik off for 12, I don't think his stamina's good enough for that. He could just try to go all out early trying to get a KO, he can hurt Kelly, it wasn't all Kelly being silly and putting his chin out.
Thanks Wacko, and CC back. And you're absolutely right Ouma, it wasn't all Kelly being a goof-off, Taylor had smacked him real well several times, but only when Kelly stuck his head out to do whatever it was he was going to do did JT hurt him good. But still, faces or not, JT may have done the same damage, so this should put Kelly in a fix it or face it frame of mind knowing that JT can damage him. I think Kelly believed since he took some great shot from Miranda that he could just walk right through Taylor's. I personally forgot how hard JT could punch, and I'll bet Kelly did to; so if anything changes about Kelly in a rematch, it will be his respect for JT's power. I kind of think JT might come out balls to the wall in the 1sr rounds also, but he better get Kelly out of there this time or he's f#cked, period!! I don't know how much a new trainer will help JT as I think most of his problems can be corrected internally. FOTY candidate already. 2008 will ROCK!!!
