I like Taylor and Pavlik I have no leaning either way, I just don't see Taylor winning sorry.
Right, someone needs to get 10 points, but with Pavlik throwing a lot of punches, and not landing at a super high percentage, and Taylor throwing the more damaging punches, the judges can score on who is hurting the other fighter more.. That is no secret..

If you're gonna score a round 10-9 for someone basing it on output and connection rate, then you assume that they didn't get hit with many punches during the round, and that they clearly outlanded the other fighter throughout the round.. That was not the case with Taylor flurrying and landing looping right hands to the side of Kelly's head clean.
