Taylor ko 4 Pavlik!I think this is a horrible prediction. No offence, Hex-One.

Pavlik by UD, and he drops Taylor twice.

If Taylor wins, that would suck, because the title is not on the line.

I'll take Taylor by KO. The weight difference will make the difference for him. Then I'll take Pavlik by KO in the rubbermatch.

The weight gain will help Pavlik as well. He has a tough time making 160.

*Z*

Pavlik is bigger than Taylor. If the extra weight is an advantage to anyone it's Pavlik. I have a hard time imagining Pavlik making 160 any easier than Taylor.

I'm taking Pavlik by KO. I can't see it any other way really. The way Pavlik beat Jermain the first time was just too convincing. He wore him down and KO'd him. This wasn't some fluke, he beat Jermain down and he's going to do it again. Sure Taylor could land something big and win the fight but I don't think it's likely. Pavlik won't be careless like he was before and I really don't see anything Jermain could improve upon except maybe his stamina.

I don't see what Taylor can do different. If Pavlik can hit you with power shots hes gonna knock you out. Ill go with a 9th round KO.

Pavlik takes Taylor seriously and Ko's him again.... even quicker this time (6th). LOL at the guys saying Taylor will finish him this time. As the only time he rocked Pavlik was when he was making faces being funny more or less. Do you really think he'll do that again?

Pavlik by decision. The only reason he got the KO is that Taylor punched himself out.

Lets forget for a second about the fireworks last fight. You have Taylor who has Ko'ed how many guys? You have Pavlik who has KO'ed a good percentage of his opponents. You have Taylor who has no comfort with the jab, is in limbo regarding his skills and who is basically strong and lucky. You have Pavlik who is a relentless puncher, has a good chin, skills and punch output. You have more weight added to each man, one man hardly KO'es any opponent the other guy KO's most.....

The only reason why the last fight was close was because Pavlik made a big mistake clowning and it was his first really big championship fight.

Can there really be any doubt what will happen this fight? Taylor will join Left Hook Lacy on the skids and people will be left to wonder how this guy ever got his hand raised to begin with. And if it ewas not for Duane Ford nobody would care because Taylor would have never gotten another fight with Bernard and would have been beaten long ago by a guy like Miranda, or any palooka with a decent jab.

Pavlik by KO, anytime in the first half of the fight. That chin has been cracked, and that already fickle confidence has to be shot. Taylor will go down easier this go around. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go down multiple times before being counted out.

Taylor will fight scared this time around and will take few chances but he will tire down the stretch and Pavlik will close the show once again

Pavlik was rocked even before he tried to mock Taylor with the faces after catching an elbow.

I don't think Taylor can win though. Pavlik was having a field day with the jab and straight right hands. He'll continue to land them and stop Taylor again.

I agree he stops Pavlik in 7KO. That laser jab will be back and he will keep Kelly in the middle of the ring.

Taylor hasnt shown a laser jab in like 4 years, and that was against bums. It might not ever be back.

I'll go with Pavlik by KO in the mid-to-late rounds. Taylor is there to be hit and I think his confidence is going to be shot. He gets visibly discouraged and once Pavlik lands a decent shot on him I think he'll get really shaken up...

I have always said that Pavlik did drop his hands and either attempt to clown or complain about the elbow and that's when he got dropped...

But to be fair it's important to remember that Pavlik was hurt BEFORE that ever happened. He was caught and hurt with a legitimate right hand and follow-up left from Taylor before that whole incident.

Taylor can legitimately hurt Kelly if he catches him right - and even at a higher weight that is a risk early.

Nevertheless, I do think that, though it will take longer this time, Pavlik eventually wins by stoppage again.

I do think Taylor will gas and slow down late and Pavlik will increase his output and get stronger.

I do expect Pavlik to be even more focused...and just as comfortable as Taylor with the added weight if not moreso.

Taylor will try to use his jab more often and quicker - but I think when Pavlik hits him with his heavier, thudding jab, he will take away Jermain's jab or at least reduce his willingness to use it.

Pavlik by TKO in the late rounds.

Peace.

Late Christmas present. Only way I see Taylor winning is if they rob Pavlik of the decision like they were trying to do last time.

Pavlik was almost KTFO in round 2. He's no defensive genius, not too fast. Taylor can beat him with not too much trouble if he fights a smart fight.

You're seriously underestimating Pavlik. If it was going to be in any way easy Jermain would have had far more success in TRYING to outbox Pavlik. He was getting beat to the punch in the jabbing contest and Pavlik's straight right couldn't miss. If Jermain manages to win, it will be far from easy.

Both know they can hurt each other...but Taylor will be the one coming out a timid...jabs and a few right hands, but not throwing anything with any balls..just trying not to get tag himself....

pavlik will come out his usual self...looking for the ko....every minute...

You are just looking at 1 guys flaws and not the others. Pavlik was landing the right hand and jabs regardless of if Taylor was trying to box him. Pavlik is not some guy with no skill.

I'd say it's pretty good actually. The Pace that Pavlik forces and the fact that Taylor fades. It took him 7 rounds to fade last time, it shouldn't be much longer this time.

The only way this fight goes longer than the first is if both these guys are worried about each other...:dunno:...i don't think they will be....Taylor might be though...but he either comes to survive and try to go the distance...or comes out tooo fast and aggressive and is fatigue by round 5-6...

I like Pavlik and respect him, but the disparity of the poll is :notallthere:

I think Taylor got lackadaisacal because he was fighting jr middles like Ouma and Spinks and he got caught.

He definitely has a chance to win.

He has a chance to win, no doubt.

They both do.

But do you PICK Taylor?

EDIT: Yes, you do...in the first page, no less. LOL.
