Robbery [spoilers]

[Jesse James]

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.

Some strange analysis occuring here. If Taylor won 117-111 as someone suggests thats 9 rounds to Taylor.
I missed those 9. He won a couple at best, shared a few 10-10. But he never won nine rounds. He was stuck behind Pavliks jab for most of the fight and out of every 3 minute rounds he had a few bursts lasting 20-30 seconds each. These bursts were never effective as they never at any stage have Pavlik in any sort of trouble.
Taylor seemed unwilling/incapable of taking any sort of risks as he knew from the previous fight he would get knocked out.

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

And you also had Taylor winning by a big margin in the 1st fight, and gave Taylor rounds that were clearly Pavlik's. So i cannot take your scoring seriously 116-112 are seriously kidding me ??

Compubox was off.. and this was politics. Jermain won this fight 116-112.

How can Compubox be off ?? ok i will admit it isn't 100 percent accurate, but it isn't that far off, Pavlik outworked Taylor and won end of, he landed more power shots and overall punches, saying Compubox is off to prove a point Taylor won is silly logic.

I wonder how all the people who scored this fight for Taylor scored Taylor/Hopkins 1 for Hopkins. In that fight, it was JT that let his hands go while Hopkins landed cleaner more effective blows. IMHO, Hopkins did that to Taylor to a much larger degree than Taylor did it to Pavlik.

I FAIL TO SEE HOW KELLY LANDED MORE PUNCHES. HE THREW MORE YES. BUT HE DIDNT LAND MORE.

Well according to the stats he did, how can Compubox be off by about 80 punches ?? get real your making yourself look foolish.

obviously it can. If being right makes me look foolish than i prefer to loook foolish.

[Baby-Faced-Assassin]

could have gone either way imo

It can be off by 80 punches ?? are you seriously kidding me ?? those are the stats and yes it may not be 100 percent accurate but i would say its about right, Pavlik outworked Taylor end of. And how can you be right ?? nothing you said is a fact just an opinion, i have the stats to back up my argument and from just watching the fight without biased scoring. I find it hard to believe anyone can have Taylor winning by 4 rounds, thats almost as ridiculous as the 117-111 scorecard IMO.

SETANTA had horrible coverage it was very biased towards Pavlik; from now on all Setanta fights I watch on silent.

I watched it on Setanta live and I have to disagree, the people in the studio (Rickie Woodhall) gave it by 3 to Pavlik and they were all fuming over 117-111 to Pavlik so they were not biased at all. If Setanta never sceened the fight we would have to watch it on a shitty stream and they done a great job.

[El Gamo]

My gosh,WTF is wrong with some of you boxing fans?! A robbery?! You're joking!!! JHow in the hell was this a robbery? At best,it was a draw for Taylor.

How can someone win a fight where they have thrown less,landed less in nearly every round and comprehensively outworked for the majority of the fight?

How can Pavlik not have won when he was fighting for a FULL 3 MINUTES. A fight is scored over the duration of the round and not for 30 seconds(the seconds Taylor flurried with eye catching punches)

Kelly Pavlik outworked,outhustled,outlanded and outjabbed Taylor.

[piye]

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.

[Pugilistic]

taylor wasn't robbed, he faded in the last couple of rounds and it cost him, pavlik deserved the UD

[Baby-Faced-Assassin]

I didnt enjoy setanta's coverage as ray mancini really annoyed me
watched the fight again and scored it 115-113 pavlik
