Pavlik Vs Taylor 2, Bilbo's rbr

[Cortez The Killer]

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

Oh sure, I know and I do not deny that.

However, when you see this fight you will see that while it was close, Taylor could have conceivably taken every one of the first 8 rounds. They were close rounds, none were a landslide either way, but Pavlik looked sluggish and Taylor looked sharp and fast.

I never bought the argument that Taylor got a lot of gifts from the judges. i thought he deserved the 2 wins vs. BHop and I thought the Winky fight was a draw.

[Cortez The Killer]

Imo the judges fucked us out of a trilogy and what a trilogy it would have been.

[SweetPea]

For what it's worth, ESPN had 3 people scoring the fight.

116-112 Taylor
115-113 Pavlik
114-114 Draw

Pavlik won by 2 rounds I thought but 117-111 Why should judges who score so badly be able to do so?

[ACEA]

i had it 7-5 Taylor good fight JT really improved the judges got it so wrong Taylor got off most of the clean work and he used his defense well was a tough one to score tho

[Cortez The Killer]

I can't see anyone scoring this for Pavlik unless they wanted Pavlik to win. It was a close fight and no robbery, but really can't see how Pavlik won a UD.

[Cortez The Killer]

JT fought his heart out and actually fought a near perfect fight given the circumstances. He wasn't intimidated at all even though he was KO'd by Pavlik.

This was the best performance I have seen from Taylor to date. It is disappointing he lost this way.

I can't imagine why all 3 judges couldve scored such a close fight for Pavlik.

I think they all had the first fight in their head and thought Pavlik was going to score a KO anyways, but it never happened and JT outfought him in the process.

I was a little surprised by the UD. I had Pavlik winning by 1-2 rounds, but I would have guessed that one judge would see it for JT. Fuckin close fight. JT looked good and did a great job staying away from the big right, but Kelly's workrate and jab won the fight. Look at their faces. Who looked more busted up? Kelly won the fight with that body shot in the 11th. It was even until then.

No knockdowns no

No knockdowns no

so was it pretty boring?

[Jesse James]

Good, close fight. 117-111 was a bit too wide, but I really can't see how anybody gave that to Taylor. Pavlik landed more jabs, power shots, and total punches in every single round. Taylor got his licks in, and to an extent redeemed himself, but the decision was sound, in my opinion. Felt bad for Jermain though. He looked like he was about to cry again...
