Ridiculus? Then your score must be ridiculous also since we just had a one round differential![]()
Look, if you want to say Taylor's fewer, power punches outweighed the sheer number of Pavlik's punches that he landed, explain to me how Taylor couldn't see after the fight and Pavlik looked essentially unhurt. Pavlik landed more and did more damage. Period.
People should stop throwing around the word "robbery," it really devalues it.
Robbery= Roy Jones Jr. at the Olympics, not Taylor losing to Pavlik. Just because you thought he won doesn't make it a robbery, especially when you can find just as many, if not more, people who believe Pavlik won.

I didn't even bother reading further than this as I see things exactly the same way. I think the problem is, people probably judged this fight with the result of the first fight in mind... When the fact is if this had been the first time they met, I think most(even though who saw Pavlik winning) tonight would have seen Taylor as the victor. I thought he clearly outboxed Pavlik in most rounds. Pavlik looked fairly crude overall, he landed some good shots but Taylor easily had the edge in power punches and used his jab far more effectively. I actually bet my friend who I went to see this fight with, that Pavlik was going to win, and when it was over, I told him he didn't owe me the money. I was sure Taylor would get the decision especially since HBO has shown to like him in the past. Sure wasn't the case tonight.

Did you see Taylor's right eye
He landed plenty, you must be very pissed if you thought Taylor won this fight. It was closer imo than the judges had it but Pavlik landed more punches, showed ring generalship and kept constant pressure throughout the fight.
Taylor landed occasional effective flurries but did not do enough to win.

Robbery?
Taylor did a good job of keeping the fight in the center of the ring, I'll give him that, but he did not throw enough, and a lot of his punches were blocked by Kelly.
