Before the fight,he was a destroyed,a new age Julian Jackson,a killer. There were about 4 people choosing Pavlik to win.

Pavlik-Taylor-JT held his own with B Hop and Winky and AGAIN was a favourite over Pavlik who was too open and would get outboxed. Again the majority of boxing fans chose JT,Pavlike was the underdog. What does he do?Outjabs and KTFO JT,looking better than B Hop or Winky did in 36 rounds v JT. This was also for the linear title in HIS OWN weight class.

You say according to some etc but everyone knows they were all close fights for JT. Similarly,you use retrespect,but at the time,I don't recall anyone saying Miranda was 1 dimensional. So no,I don't think you lose me there I'm afraid. Good try though.
Miranda was a marginal favourite at best and was ALWAYS going to get battered according to those capable of seeing beyond the hype.

Allow me to point in the direction of this prefight prediction thread

You will particularly appreciate the comments of a wise hobbit who advised you of the following at the time.

What are you guys going to do if Pantera wins? It'll be another failed prediction won't it Bil?! Grin

I can say with all honesty that I've never yet got a prediction wrong young El Gamo. bucktooth

Pavlick will be too much for a one dimensional Miranda to deal with.

It's going to be a long night for Pantera, and one that will end with a trip to the hospital.

coolclick to the Duke for being equally bold in his prediction




Oh and I also went for a Pavlik KO win in the prediction contest too
