This fight didn't even come close to a robbery, I must have been watching a different fight than half the people were if this qualifies as a robbery. Kelly consistently outlanded taylor, I didn't really see taylor landing the more significant shots there were no shots in there where you thought kelly is going down, where as taylor in the 11th was dam close to hitting the deck I think. 117-111 is a bit wide, but 116-112 or 115-113 pavlik are spot on. Also if kelly missed with half his punches then I guess they were still enough to fuck taylors eye up that bad....Sorry no robbery here, the right man definitely won! If this had been a 15 rounder of old I'm pretty sure taylor would have ended up on the deck. As for the compubox numbers when they're that heavily in favor of the winner and all the judges had it for the same guy there really is not much chance of there trullu being a robbery, instead people might be projecting their own perceptions onto something that really isn't there.
I think Taylor should of got the win
I'm not even a Taylor fan. I thought he would win tonight and I thought he won tonight. That is all.
But I know the Pillsbury dough boy has a large following due to his pasty skin, smooth bald head, and over reliance on the one-two combination which if his opponent moves his head is completely ineffective.
i thought pavlik won. he backed taylor up most of the fight whle landing considerably more punches. there were long stretches where taylor was simply not responding to pavliks patient aggresion. pavlik basically controlled the pace of the fight with his jab.
taylor did look quick though, and countered well. probably the 5 hardest punches of the fight where landed by taylor. but after that it was all pavlik.
Taylor outclassed him tonight. Believe me i could accept it if he was really beat, but turn down the volume and watch it and get back to me those of you who thought kelly won this fight.
"I thought he was doing a pretty good job," Taylor said. "I knew it was a close fight, but I guess he won the last couple of rounds. He's a strong fighter, and I give him a lot of credit." That's taylors words from espn so even he doesn't seem to have a problem with the outcome.
