Were the judges smoking crack?

[Lance Uppercut]

HBO had Pavlik winning
Pavlic thought he was winning
and
Jermain Taylor said that he thought he was loosing.

And being there, I think everyone in the crowd thought Pavlic was winning

[VictorCharlie]

I had it three rounds a piece

[Landon]

Did you notice in the post fight interviews Pavlik thought he was winning and Taylor thought he was losing , .It actually shocked me when Merchant told Taylor he was winning and Taylor said "really I thought I was losing " . Hats off to Taylor for his honesty , I have new respect for him.

[bigragu]

Lou DiBully money.

I can not believe Lou had all three of these judges in his pocket.

Piss on you Lou!

Judges need to be reevaluated after atrocities like this...Omagine if it went the distace!! at that rate Taylor would have won 10 of the RDS WTF!!!!!!!

[Preme]

i had it 58-55 or 57-56, forget what one...

I have respected Taylor for a long time now....he is an honest and good kid......very respectful....I like him...just not against Pavlik again....

Again, I don't see the big deal...I had Taylor winning all but 2 rounds I think. Boxing the socks off of Pavlik. These scores are nowhere near bad IMO
Look at the criteria for scoring and I think more of you will understand. Ring Generalship, Defence, Clean shots and effective aggresion.
Defence (making Pavlik miss and look slow) and Clean Shots was definitely Taylor..Ring generalship I would also have given to Taylor in most rounds..he had Pavlik following him when he wanted and he was backing him up when he wanted to. Effective aggresion..I think Pavlik maybe had the edge in this one..he could sometimes neutralize Taylors speed with his work rate.
British guest judge also had it something like 58-55 to Taylor going into 7

Finally someone who saw the fight like i did Taylor was comfortable winning most rounds and landing the better shots Pavlik wasn't really giving JT many problems and he looked like he was running out of ideas i suggested this yesterday and got ripped apart lol

[ICB]

Taylor was far ahead on all three official cards by scores of 58-55, 59-54, 58-55. This is out of whack to me.

Its not a surprise to me i knew Pavlik would never win a decision against Taylor.

How do you think he beat Spinks, Hopkins and Wright.

Wasn't really giving Taylor much problems were you watching the same fight i was ??

[THE THIRD MAN]

I had Taylor winning this fight at the time of the KO in what has to be said was one of his better performances for a long time, then POW! Pavlik was still in the fight up until seven but he needed a KO
to win this and he got one, no way was he going to win a decision. Pavlik was getting hit far to easily by Taylor throughout. I had Taylor up by 3 rounds at this time.

[astate81]

I had taylor up 58-55 .

[Landon]

I had taylor up 58-55 .

WOW I surprised so many people thought Taylor was winning when even he (taylor) thought he was losing.

I think Pavlic gave Taylor problems when he knocked Taylor the fuawk out.

At a higher weight its going to be the same result if not sooner.

[Dark Lord Al]

Agreed apart from the knockdown for JT it was a very close fight.
Depends how much money your promoter gives the judges beforehand i guess
CHEERS LOU

[OumaFan]

Seriously I think all JT has to do is make it twelve rounds. I don't know what it is that judges love so much, I guess its that his punches are real flashy and easy to see, I don't know, its just hard to understand. I only gave Taylor the second and the fifth, maybe he could have gotten the sixth.
