WTF?
I am very surprised that ANYONE could have Jermain Taylor WINNING the fight? That's just crazy. He gave away the last two rounds in a close fight. He LOST.

"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
If you look at Taylor's history he has alot of close fights that have been debated often. Both bouts with Hopkins, Ronald Wright, even the bout with Cory Spinks. Each time he got away with the decision. Is anybody suprised he couldn't keep getting the benefit of the doubt at the scoring table forever.

Enjoyed the fight worth staying up for. For me Pavlik won it by 3 rds he outworked Taylor.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. It was a close fight, but Pavlik outworked and outlanded JT, period. It's JT's own fault for not throwing more punches. I don't buy this "Taylor landed the more significant punches" crap. He landed some hard punches, yes, but 2 hard punches does not beat 20 medium punches.
I think I used the wrong words for the title! It was not a robbery but I feel that Taylor won that fight; it was however close.
I feel that Pavlik has taken Taylors spot as the new HBO Poster boy, the commentators would not stop talking about Kelly and Youngstown! they never mentioned when Pavliks nose was bloodied but they mentioned when Taylor's was! Then never mentioned the little nick just above kelly's eye; which I noticed so...
Well the fights over either way now and nothing I or anybody else say will change the result! congratulations Kelly.
I didnt enjoy setanta's coverage as ray mancini really annoyed me
watched the fight again and scored it 115-113 pavlik

I thought it was close, but thought Pavlik won. Surprised a fair number of folk on here are saying Taylor won. Not as surprised as I was with the judge who scored it 117 - 111 though.
What was that about?
Also thought Setanta coverage was good. Think they are head and shoulders above Sky at the minute.
Loving no adverts too.
class.

Last night I scored it a draw, watched it again this morning and I feel Kelly eeked it out slightly.
I gave Taylor some rounds as I felt Kelly was out of focus and Taylor stole them with ring generalship, even though he was getting out hustled in 10 out of the 12 rounds.
Both guys fought smart and showed better defense than in the first fight. Kelly just took it at the end as he had more left in the tank and Jermaine was getting tired.
Robbery?Funny shit.
Gamo's right, maybe Taylor could have got a draw, if you really liked the prettier, flashier flurries then maybe 7-5.
Taylor did good work at times but he just got outworked and lost the late rounds. He fought well though, better than I thought he would so credit to him.
120-108 Navarro, now that's fucking crazy.
