Robbery [spoilers]

[piye]

Damn never thought I'd say it; I thougt Jermaine landed the more hurtful shots throughout the fight!

I definately think Jermaine won this fight.

RObbery!!! Jermaine won

[the wiz]

I disagree I had it 117-111 for Pavlik. I had Jermain winning the 2, 9, 10 rounds. I just thought that Pavlik did more throughout the whole fight. Taylor would land a few here and there. Pavlik was just consistant enough throughout each round.

Taylor won the fight. F Pavlik.

Fightnews says:
WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (33-0, 29 KOs) Jermain Taylor (27-2-1, 17 KOs) in a very exciting non-title encounter on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas. Fighting at a catch weight of 166, Pavlik was busier while Taylor landed the sharper punches. Most of the rounds were close, but it was Pavlik who closed stronger.

...

Maybe the scorecard should have been a bit closer,but doesn't sound like a robbery...

[RozzySean]

Not a robbery at all. Even you you thought JT won, how would you score it? 115-113 Taylor is most favorable you could score it for JT. I had it 116-112 Pavlik. Even fight after the 10th, I gave the last 2 to Pavlik. Too close to be a robbery in either direction. All the judges agreed. No robbery.

I agree that he landed the biggest punches, but Pavlik's pressure and punch output far outweighed Taylor's. He fought well though but when a guy lands 3 times as many punches as you it is a loss. The big punches have to be KO punches to win a fight like this. Props to both guys for a good fight.

If u had it 117-111 then your hi along with that judge. This was a robbery.

[toogood4u]

yea well i had it 115-113 taylor, but how could one judge get 117-111..thats ridiclous, i like pavlik and hate taylor but i have to respect taylor now he did good in this fight he should have won, w.e close fight

[BigLuke]

Compubox was off.. and this was politics. Jermain won this fight 116-112.

fightnews never says the "total" truth . When Casayomer "beat" his last opponent , fightnews said something around the lines "Casamoyer won a controversial decision" They never really emphasize , and try to not take sides from what i realized. 116-112 Taylor wins it hands down. Harder punches, cleaner punches, enough to win .

How? One punch equals one point, unless it causes a knock down. Taylor didn't land enough to win. He sure hit hard but when it only happens occasionally and the opponent isn't rocked by them it counts for nothing. Especially when he's getting backed up all night.

[BigLuke]

Kelly rarely landed... man... Taylor outlanded him and im pissed..

[SigmaMu]

I saw Taylor with a giant black eye. That was not a mouse on his face it was a rat.

I will have to watch the fight again once I download and convert to DVD but it was a pretty boring fight. This was nothing more than a high payed sparring session for Kelly. I wonder how much Lou DiBully paid Pavlik not to destroy his boy and allow him to go the distance.

Pavlik still wins.

Taylor will become marketable again but at what weight class?

[Cortez The Killer]

Taylor won the fight. F Pavlik.

F yeah.

I had Taylor up nearly every round. The judges eyes were clouded with visions of a Pavlik KO which was not to happen. This clouded vision made them fail to see that JT outfought him in the process.

JT was sharper, more effective, faster, great defense, beautiful jab.

What did Pavlik do? Land a couple big shots that didn't faze Taylor and look sluggish?

Royal fuck job by the judges. UD my ass.
