Actually my respect for Jermain went up dramatically during the Pavlik fight. He showed a true warrior spirit. Props to him.

I also give him a good chance in the rematch. I know he can reach Pavlik and Kelly does take a lot of return punishment in each and every fight. Both of them get hit a lot and for that reason, both are fighting on borrowed time.

If it ends early, it's Jermain's fight. If it ends after 5th round, it is Kelly's simply because Jermain will panic once he starts to get tired again. It will not go the distance.

I predict it's Kelly's fight again as he is still riding high from the first one. I wish Taylor would have fought a tuneup fight before this as he could work out possible confidence and stamina issues as well as try out new things. If he did that, I would make it an even odds fight.

I cannot see how anyone could hate Jermain. He has always come across as a nice fellow actually and showed respect to everyone he has fought. He is a gracious winner and loser, a true gentleman.

I am kinda hoping the last fight kicked him in the ass enough to really, and I mean really motivate him. We just may see a totally different fight than the last one. If he gets hungry again, I am not sure if Pavlik can hold him back.
