Pavlik Vs Taylor 2, Bilbo's rbr

[Kev]

Round 9,

I really feel Pavlik needs a big round to change the pace of the fight. Taylor is being allowed to box and move. I have no idea how the judges would be scoring this though, history suggests that Taylor will be well ahead though.

Pavlik again comes forward but Taylor ties him up. Good solid punches from Taylor. Good jab from Pavlik, It's livening up now, Pavlik trying to establish himself, coming forward again, Taylor is backing up now. Definitely Pavliks best round of the fight.

He's getting back into the fight.

Pavlik round,

87-75 Taylor

Round 10

Taylor showed the first signs of tiredness to me at the end of that, Mancini disagrees though.

Pavlik needs to keep up the good work from the last round. He's marching through Taylor's punches now trying to land his own.

Taylor smartly tying him up though. Pavlik much more active now, solid jabs but some wild punches.

Good one two from Taylor he's got Pavliks attention. This fight is really reminiscent of the first Toney Sam Peter fight.

I'll give Pavlik this round through being the aggressor.

Dead even fight in my eyes Taylor ahead on my card by a point.

96-95 Taylor

[Kev]

Round 11,

Whatever happens now Jermian has redeemend himself he's giving Kelly a real stylistic problem. This is anybody's fight right now.

Good double left body hook from Taylor, he certainly seems the more explosive of the two. Pavlik has not looked like the offensive powerhouse in this fight.

Pavlik again pressing forward though, I think he's winning these rounds through being the aggressor. Pavlik has Taylor on the ropes, he's clinging on, Pavlik hurt him, Taylor is doing a lot of holding.

Good round for Pavlik

Now I've got it dead even!

106-106

[Kev]

Final Round guys,

It's anybody's fight!

Taylor lands a great right hand and starts the round well. Pavlik needs to repsond to that. He's marching forward, Taylor a little wild with his shots now.

Taylor is tying Pavlik up, good solid attack from Pavlik, Taylor seems to be fading a little. Pavlik showing more desire in this last round.

Taylor fires fast but infrequently, Pavlik is slow but consistent. I'm giving this last round to Pavlik.

It's all over, VERY close fight

I give it to Pavlik by a single round with one round even

[Kev]

Unanimous decision

117-111
115-113
116-112

Pavlik wins it!

[Kev]

Doug Fischer had it identically to me 6-5-1 to Kelly Pavlik,

Not bad for my first rbr, at least I know I can score a fight with reasonable accuracy.

Taylor still looked good though, he certainly redeemed himself in my eyes and has a lot to offer at 168 especially when Calzaghe moves up.

Can anybody say Taylor vs Kessler?

[Kev]

Apparently Pavlik is gearing up to fight Felix Trinidad at 160 next.

Not sure what I make of that. Can't see Trinidad having any chance of winning that fight although he could possibly go the 12 rounds if he boxes the way he did against Jones Jr

[CFH]

Fuck yes!

[CFH]

Good work Bilbo, that was pretty damn good, especially considering it was your 1st one.

[Cortez The Killer]

fucking shit. Taylor was on the wrong side of the cards.

[Cortez The Killer]

motherfucker, there goes some rep. Really feel Taylor should have won that!

[boozeboxer]

fucking shit. Taylor was on the wrong side of the cards.

Gotta amit Cortez he has been on the right side of alot of them.

[boozeboxer]

Thanks everybody for the commentary. Sounded like a good one. I almsot wish JT would have captured it so that we could have a good trilogy. We still might??

Anyway sounded like both fighters really represented themselves.

[Slacker]

My gosh, the way people made it sound. I thought it was going to be way closer. I'm going to have to wait til the reshowing to see this for myself.

[superheavyrhun]

Sterling work guys, no doubt for me there are those fans who are claiminf the pitchers' fight, especially going, honorably down the line. Shrapnel wankt the win he is letting things cruise as it iz.
