Jermain Taylor vs. Kelly Pavlik, September 29th in Atlantic City

I don't know about that.

I saw him turn his back several times in the first Hopkins fight when he got hurt. I saw him do nothing but hold to stink out a decision in the rematch.

I saw him get a gift in the Wright fight.

 

i thought both hopkins fight could've gone either way. i had wright winning 7 rounds, but some of the rounds were close. some thought he lost to spinks, but either way, he made it close.

but that's what he does. against elite opposition, he's still very hard to beat.

 

Amen to that. I would hardly call Taylor's punches "sharp".

 

Hopefully this fight comes off. This aint no Mythical Matchup were we can sit comfortable behind our imaginations, this time we'll be able to see who's got it right.

Taylor has his limitations, but he has enough talented and experience to defeat Pavlik, and possibly inside the distance.

Sig bets all around on this one.

 

If Pavlik gets in close to Taylor, it's an easy fight for Pavlik. Taylor's balance and footwork is so poor, he'll never generate any power on his punches.

The best Taylor can hope to do is tie Pavlik up and make it an ugly fight.

 

Yeah he did great against Ouma. ::

 

Whatever, your call man, Should be fun, Reedgardless.

 

he won 9 rounds.

 

He won 8 rounds tops, and looked crap in the process, was being pushed back by a 154 pounder who's not even a puncher.

 

Jermaine has slipped a sprocket recently yes true, but he still wins his fights on auto-pilot, when you have pop marks of bloated skills expanding your breadbasket, there is so much cushion to fall back on that he can afford to allow his hands to strike like puppets, seemingly on instinct, when you're that talented you hold brains in your fists, the rest of his body can sleep ravelled around his bones, he'll still take the trash out, a focused and intense Jermaine Taylor is like trading fists with a combine harvester, imfuckingpossible to beat, and unleasched behind a sweet baby blue demeanor for extra impact, Jermaine will punish the uncle tom's on this messageboard for thier contempt, and defection to the ivory side of the chess set :nono: .

 

Either ways, I can't loose. If Jermaine beats him, its a case of "I told you so" and I win a sig-bet If Jermaine loses, its another White Champ and more egg on the face of certain "journalists"

If I win, I win. If I lose, I still win. There's no way I can lose. Just get down to 160 pounds you fat bastid, stop eatin.

 

I know what you mean by certain elements of the media, and how it can cause you to think that way, do you think Steve Kim will do an article on "race" from "New York", soon?... How many of them get EXPOSED regularly ....not a word so far,...:dunno:

 

They know who they are.:nono: They know who they are:nono: :nono:

 

Yeah? How does Taylor do against punchers? Oh yeah, we don;t know because Taylor has been protected from them.
