Taylor was only a couple punches away from ending the fight. He failed to do so. In the rematch I have no doubt in my mind Taylor wins!
I know this is an old and dead thread, however, I have to agree with this post 1000% . Not 100, 1000... Good Good post... Most athelets ARE on roids... They just don't get caught. Think of it like speeding. Half the people on the road speed. There just arn't enough speed traps or cops to catch em... (thank God!)
I wondered why this fight made 7 pages. Then i realised you spent most of the thread talking about Kelly Pavlik.
Jermaine was beaten fair and square, however, I do have faith in Jermaine to move and counter-punch cautiously in the rematch, and will earn a Unanimous decision over the Tom-boy.
I agree, all this Pavlik dick sucking has to end. I'd like to see a Pantera rematch if he gets by Taylor again.

I liked him up until the Miranda fight. Way to blow a huge oppurtunity fighting like he did. His shit talking before the fight was great. Too bad he didn't back up an ounce of it.
nobody. After he beat Taylor, many people jumped on his badnwagon, but nobody called him unbeatable. Everyone was saying that he's a murderous puncher and fighter, but also a very vulnerable one, which makes him so exciting.
and calling him unbeatable is certainly closer to the truth than calling him a bum, like Hex-One did.:doh:
People are giving Taylor no shot, and any other opponent any one matches Pavlik with. He's a good fighter but people have jumped on the bandwagon and act as though Pavlik is the best thing since sliced bread. :nono:
This fight was meaningless. It never ceases to amaze me how much hype a fighter gets on this board every time he spectacularly KO's an undersized bum.
Because Banks is conscious and almost made it up in time. Just because he happened to fall through the ropes doesn't mean he is out cold
Seriously, they woke him up. He was out. He would have layed there until the walk out bouts came into the ring. Even the guy at ringside told the ref that he's out!
I am beginning to believe that you did not. banks is up on his feet at "11" and then the fer and his handlers help him to sit on his stool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Uig59Yro0
Ok, now you are sounding like yourself when you defend Bible. Look at the video. When he falls, a guy on the left waves to the ref that it is over. The ref takes a look and counts on as he notices that Banks is wake, Banks then starts to climb back and almost makes it in time.
Why did Miranda talk all kinds of shit about how after he beat Pavlik he was going to destroy Taylor for the 160lbs title? If he couldn't make weight what the fuck was he doing claiming he was going to fight for the MW title? Why is it that only AFTER he got his ass handed to him did he then say he couldn't make 160 anymore? And don't think for a second it's easy for Pavlik a larger guy than Miranda to make 160 himself.
