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.
But that is the exact point i am making. Pavlik connected, that's why i mentioned the swollen eyes, the punches connected.
