Good read; can't wait for this one. Looking forward to the next HBO countdown show for these 2 guys. If JT wins do you think they'll rematch again at 160 so JT can try for his belt again, or do you see JT moving on up to 168?

I think if Taylor won, the rubbermatch would take place at 168.

So essentially what you're saying is that Taylor won't be striving to reclaim his belt at 160?

I think Pavlik should knocked Taylor out a few rounds earlier, But Pavlik can't be doing that dumshat

Taylor is damaged goods. He was already showing signs of deterioration a few fights before the Pavlik fight and will get stopped again.

I thought Taylor looked just about at his best in his last fight, even considering it ended in a loss. He looked really sharp and had bad intentions, but he just got tired.

Agreed. Taylor looked fantastic & had Pavlik in some serious spots. Taylor's not so much damaged goods as he is mentally fwocked. I truthfully believe that he could work his issues out given some ample time & consideration.

The rematch should be a smoker.

I'm gonna shock the shit outta ya both.

I've gotta agree with bruce.

I think that the fight will go the stretch. I think that it'll be a tuffer match...& I think that if it does go the stretch...we might have a dubious decision to contend with in order to make it a three-see.

Course...that's just me talkin outta the ole' poop chute...but I think that when it goes to the cards with Taylor...shit always get's as goofy as a special ed kid with a bag fulla eternal gobstoppers.

I don't see it Wacko even if Taylor wants to fight cautious fight Pavlik will force him out of his shell with his ram rod jab and aggressive style i see this being another barn burner with Pavlik winning by TKO in 9.

Rewatch the last fight.

Look...I love Pavlik...but Kelly's not the smartest fighter in the sea.

He goes for the kill pretty my 90% of the time because that's where it's at for him. Yes he has a great jab. Yes he pulled some pretty sweet combo's outta his ass the last go 'round. Yes he was gotdammed effective. The thing is though...I really believe that Taylor & team underestimated him.

No dis to Pavlik.

I want him to win...but it all goes back to Pavlik's fight game.

I realize that no one needs a detailed roster check here...but Taylor has been in with Hopkins twice, Spinks, Wright, & Joppy...who shouldn't be mentioned...but there ya go. The one opponent is enough to equal & cancel out Pavlik's skill level. While Taylor wasn't a shoe in for the winner against Hopkins bout 1 or the Wright fight...he did go toe to toe for the duration.

The equalizer & table turner is ofcourse the power of Pavlik...but a gameplan could negate that.

While I do feel that Taylor is flawed mentally of late...I do think that he's got plenty of skills if he can keep his head on straight...which will be an issue if Pavlik tees off on it the way he did last time out.

Like I was saying...watch the last fight. Taylor had Pavlik on the outs. He overshot his wad & there's a distinct possibility that he could have kept Pavlik at the end of his jab & won the fight...ofcourse there's a possibility that if you shoved enough monkey's up your ass...one could fly out...if properly projected & pressured enough.

Wacko no offence but i have probably watched it about 20 times

He goes for the kill pretty my 90% of the time because that's where it's at for him. Yes he has a great jab. Yes he pulled some pretty sweet combo's outta his a** the last go 'round. Yes he was gotdammed effective. The thing is though...I really believe that Taylor & team underestimated him.

By the way Taylor performed it certainly didn't look like he underestimated Pavlik that was the best Taylor i had seen in ages.

realize that no one needs a detailed roster check here...but Taylor has been in with Hopkins twice, Spinks, Wright, & Joppy...who shouldn't be mentioned...but there ya go. The one opponent is enough to equal & cancel out Pavlik's skill level. While Taylor wasn't a shoe in for the winner against Hopkins bout 1 or the Wright fight...he did go toe to toe for the duration.

Those fighters are better skilled fighters no doubt but it doesn't mean anything, style wise Pavlik has a more effective to trouble Taylor than those fighters you mentioned now that may sound absurd but its just bad style match up for Taylor, Pavlik has very aggressive style along with a good jab plus he has a longer reach in the jab so he can catch Taylor on the counter with the jab it will always bother Taylor the jab was the key in the first fight it set up Pavlik's straight right hand i just don't see how Taylor can stop Pavlik's jab.


The equalizer & table turner is ofcourse the power of Pavlik...but a gameplan could negate that.

Its not just his power its Pavlik's jab that gave him more trouble.

Like I was saying...watch the last fight. Taylor had Pavlik on the outs. He overshot his wad & there's a distinct possibility that he could have kept Pavlik at the end of his jab & won the fight...ofcourse there's a possibility that if you shoved enough monkey's up your a**...one could fly out...if properly projected & pressured enough.

I have watched it plenty of times Pavlik got stupid and stuck his chin out and let Taylor hit him but Pavlik held on well and survived difference is Pavlik only needed 1 chance and he finished Taylor that will be in the back of Taylor's mind plus i think Taylor burns way too much nervous energy thats why he faded late in 1st Hopkins fight.

[Deanrw]

My Prediction: Taylor is flat footed and so is Pavlik. We know both hit hard enough to hurt each other. The fight will start slower, but both of them will start timing bigger punches on each other and they will start gunning for it. It will turn into a slugfest as both will be able to land easily. It will be one big irresistible juicy candy for both of them and they will go at it! If it turns into one early enough, Taylor will have the advantage as his speed will let his power land more often. If it is later, Pavlik will have the advantage as Taylor will be gassed.

I really cannot see them two going any other way. They will fight it out, just like the first time, but both will start out more cautiously.
