When one guy wins by KO, and there's an immediate rematch, it's very hard to go against the guy who won the first fight.

Pavlik enters this fight knowing he can take Taylor's best shots and get back off the canvas, while Taylor's last memory in the ring is of getting knocked nearly unconscious in the corner by Pavlik. It's asking a lot for Taylor to get over that mental hump in only a few months.

Vazquez was able to come back after a TKO loss and beat Marquez in the second fight, but he was never knocked out in the first fight, he just had to quit because of the broken nose.

Pavlik by mid-round TKO again.
