116 - 112 Taylor no way thats ridiculus i had Taylor winning the fight by 2 rounds based on his cleaner work and defense. Hard fight to score but Taylor did enough to edge it for me shame the judges didnt think so

i actually had it 115-113 to Taylor close fight i was saying 116-114 was ridiculus. I saw 5 rounds Pavlik definatly won and 5 Taylor definatly won the other 2 rounds could have goe either way but i scored it to Taylor for the cleaner work. The first fight i had Taylor up by 1 point due to the knockdown going into the 8th.
The fight reminded me a little of Oscar v Floyd in the sense that Pavlik was throwing a lot of shots but JT block a hell of a lot of them. As for Compubox numbers they dont accuratly represent the fight as boxing is scored on a round by round basis so Pavlik may have thrown a lot more in one round than he did another thus skewing the overall numbers.

Not a robbery,I had Taylor up by one point but no robbery at all.Hey, I plead the 5th and blame the Coronas.Both showed great boxing and fought a well thought out game plan.Taylor appears far from shot and Pavlik Is a comer .Both showed Improvement.
Alot of people were treating this rematch like Taylor was being walked to the firing squad going in and That was not the case.I dont put alot of stock in HBO's punch #'s and the direct correlation to that =winning a round.Sometimes I wonder If they score a hit everytime Lampley shouts "BIG LEFT" etc.I know they contribute and might seem useful but Save the punch counting for the Amatuers and Olympics Imo.I try to break a round into three minutes and score on effective punching and ring generalship.A guy can land 10 thudding jabs and get countered 1 or 2 shots that move him In return....pick your poison.A fight is a case by case ,RBR affair.
BTW I was in a place where I could watch it closely but couldn't hear much of it so who was HBO cheerleading for this time? Didn't seem like they were as much on the Taylor bandwagon as usual last time.
