I thought Taylor looked pretty awesome.. He was composed and he didn't deviate from his game plan except for the 5th round..

The WORST part of the fight was the ref.. WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE DOING constantly just hitting their arms away.. IMO that is a terrible method to break up the clinching. I'd be pissed if a ref was moving my hands away possibly leaving me open for a shot.. All you have to do is yell break.. If they keep doing it, then you warn them both, and then you start to take points away.. That eventually will stop them from holding..

If Taylor could show a few more angles, step sideways a little more, and throw a few more uppercuts and left hooks as opposed to the straight right hand, then he will be very tough to beat in his next fight.. His defense seems to have increased quite a bit since the first Pavlik fight, and he seems to be more composed.. He also didn't tire out as bad as he normally does at the end of fights..
