I wonder what will be going through Taylor's mind when he stares across the ring and notices Pavlik staring back at him again just before the opening bell. Will he suffer a breakdown if he is not able to hurt Pavlik again? How will he react when Pavlik drills him with a hard right hand? Will he panic?

He will carry some mental scars from the first fight into the rematch. Does he go after Pavlik and possibly get spent early? Should he try a different approach in an attempt to maintain endurance?

I cannot see this fight ending in anything but a W for Pavlik. Taylor should have tried a warmup fight or two, just to build confidence and try different things. Instead he tries the no mans land approach
