Pavlik Vs Taylor 2, Bilbo's rbr

[jambo54]

I agree w/ Jesse. 117-112 was probably too wide of a gap, but for Taylor to win is asking a bit much. Pavlik simply worked harder and landed more jabs in almost every round. I thought Taylor did a great job of playing defense and conserving energy in the later rounds in order to land some of his big flurries. in the end, Pavlik earned it though

As much as I want to deny It....I had Taylor up by 2 points..Very tight fight.They both came to battle. Just a thought and for no apparent reason, Pavlik vs. Kessler anyone?
I think Taylor should forget Middleweight and stay where He is at. Trilogy ?

How? He went through some rounds with very low punch output and Pavlik was consistent throughout the fight. I don't see how people can score this fight to Taylor. I'm not a big fan of either guy but it wasn't like Taylor even hurt Kelly. He got hit but infrequently.

Really that far apart? Makes you wonder how much of those numbers are perception of clean shots. I didnt see it with Pavlik dominating but I guess he just outworked him, Taylor actually has the better land percentages.

Taylor made adjustments in this one and Pavlik tried to punch holes through him.Alot like the first fight but Taylor fought Pavlik in center and "walked" him as opposed to clamoring off the ropes.Hey,they showed Taylor landed at a higher over all percentage so did he win ? Tune out the punch stats ,There over rated. I think they should fight a third but would it sell

Yeah, a third fight would be fascinating. Pavlik KO'd Taylor in the first one, outboxed him to a decision in the second, maybe he could try to win by DQ in the third.

Honestly, what are people watching? Jermain fought well and landed some good shots in the early to middle rounds, but Pavlik overwhelmed him in the second half of the fight. His left hand was glued to Taylor's face.

I'm not talking compubox stats just from watching the fight. Yes Taylor didn't let Pavlik put him on the ropes like the first fight but Pavlik was going forward for most of the fight. When Taylor got tired he went to the ropes and Pavlik won those rounds (the last 3). Taylor came forward and was valiant but he lost the fight, he got hit more than he hit the other guy, that's it.

I had it even, but will need to watch it again without the chinese commentary. I could not hear the action and that does have some influence, well for me anyway. Sometimes the effectiveness of a punch has to be heard as visually it does not always tell you.
