So my friends, what round does Pavlik poetically bring justice...

[Amsterdam]

... To the sport of boxing and puts things into perfect perspective?

I have round 5. Brooklyn1550 has round 7(a good choice) and I may change my prediction to whatever round Zakman chooses, since he is the master of picking when a disgrace falls.:D

Furthermore, it's early in the week and the ever present apologist population seems to think that 1 over hyped joke can take a shot well, despite not showcasing much of a sturdy beard against fighters who throw feather dusters. Sometimes you just feel animosity towards apologists, don't we?

[brooklyn1550]

As you said, round 7:good Although it wouldn't surprise me to see it come earlier.

Nothing against JT, I just see him getting knocked out.

If it comes earlier, all the better.

Did you know that I purchased a pricey bottle of wine to pop open in the event that our prediction comes true?:lol:

Getting more desperate as the fight comes nearer? I can understand you my friend . . . just remember the six months avatar and sig bet :yep . . . you keep posting but you're not responding to my reminder.

I'm ready to carry your designed avatar and sig for six months my friend.

That's the perfect way to celebrate if it happens:good

[C Money]

If its gonna happen, and I hope it does, i'd say round 10.

I'm beginning to get an uneasy feeling about this fight, as in, Taylor might win by decision. A motivated and well conditioned Taylor, will have to slow down before any such KO will occur. Taylor's jab will be a difficult obstacle to overcome in the early going. Once JT tires and spends some energy, Pavlik will have an opportunity to get in range and be effective with his combos.

[psychopath]

I have not forgotten.

Alright . . . that's all I want to hear and see. :D

Go ahead and enjoy your postings. :yep :good

[Dr Gonzo]

im going to say a late one - probably 9 or 10

[Amsterdam]

Alright . . . that's all I want to hear and see. :D

Go ahead and enjoy your postings. :yep :good

This won't be the last one, I've only exhausted roughly 60% of my pre-fight material.:yep

Hey no problem with me bruh . . . this is a forum. :good

[Jinx]

Pavlik is not going to win...Taylor's jab and athleticism will do the job, plus he has enough power to keep Pavlik honest...yes Pavlik looked good against a backyard bully in Miranda, who was weight-drained, but he also took big shots from Miranda...Pavlik will get hit HARD against Taylor also but Taylor has more skill and smarts than Miranda...Pavlik can't outbox Taylor, and doesn't have the speed to outslug Taylor either...Taylor TKO 11 Pavlik...

[pipe wrenched]

I shall be round 7 my good man. Go Pavlik!!!

[Pimp C]

Pavlik better win by KO because Taylor can't lose a decision on HBO.:yep Yet another reason why you should pick Taylor in this fight.

[China_hand_Joe]

Taylor should win...maybe.

[pipe wrenched]

Taylor should win...maybe.


NO....NO...No...no...China Hand Joe. Pavlik by Tko 7.

[China_hand_Joe]

NO....NO...No...no...China Hand Joe. Pavlik by Tko 7.

Taylor can counter him. Maybe.

Although the Ouma fight makes a mockery of my views.

[China_hand_Joe]

Wait wait.. You are probably right. Wright and Spinks were not MWs...

[pipe wrenched]

Taylor can counter him. Maybe.

I felt pretty good after re-watching Taylor/Winky the other day. Winky of all people was repeatedly driving Taylor into the corner and a couple of those times was straight smashing Taylor in the face. "If" Pavlik manages to land even a portion of those shots it could really bode well for him. The fight is now up on youtube full fight. If yall haven't seen that one in a while check it out, cause Winky was bustin that ass.:good

[Amsterdam]

Wait wait.. You are probably right. Wright and Spinks were not MWs...

Pavlik cemented-qm-

[unclepaulie]

Im gonna go with round 10 after a very entertaining, albeit one-sided, fight. Then maybe we can see a Pavlik-Abraham fight

[China_hand_Joe]

Pavlik cemented-qm-God no.

[cardstars]

what kind of betting odds are people finding on this fight?

[4Rounder]

I'm gonna laugh so hard if Taylor wins.:rofl

[joe33]

Pavlik in 8

[Decebal]

This thread has the best title I can remember seeing on ESB...:yep

[jsimps]

In rd 3, it'll be lights out for JT.

[Carlos Primera]

midrounds probably somewhere between 5-7. if tiny ouma was backing taylor up pavlik should be able to do the same. pavlik better work on his head movement too he's too erect sometimes

[PACZ]

Pavlik By K.O. In 4 Rounds. After At Least 1 Or 2 Knockdowns He's Out And Can't Get Up.

[pit]

I hope jermain breaks pavlic jaw off the henges, only because you guys are not showing the man any respect...

[lillarry]

So Amsterdam, what will be your reaction if Taylor blows out the hype machine known as Pavlik, moves up in weight and defeats the guy in your avatar. Will that be too much for your mind to handle?:huh

He could possibly beat Pavlik, but JC is impossible for him to defeat by styles and intangibles.

If that did happen, I'd be utterly amazed, to say the least.

I think it will give you some confidence in your prediction, then, that I have been saying since this fight was announced that Taylor falls in five, or less. :nod:D

All of these apologists are gonna have quite a bit of egg on their faces when Pavlik shows exactly WHY Taylor's been fighting nothing but light-hitters moving up from lower weight classes ever since Hopkins - no great puncher himself - rocked him.:yep

Can't get a gift decision when you're lying OUT COLD on the canvas!!:-(:lol:

[Astola]

Im going with Taylor UD.

[DoumB]

Pavlik better win by KO because Taylor can't lose a decision on HBO.:yep Yet another reason why you should pick Taylor in this fight.


:yep soooo true ...anywaay pavlik TKO 9th

[Skital]

I'm going with Taylor via late TKO. I'm going out on a limb here.

[paulfv]

I agree almost completely with C Money's assessment on the first page of the thread. I'm going to say sometime between the 9th-11th round Taylor either gets KO'd or TKO'd. If I have to pick one round, I pick the 11th.

[sues2nd]

Round one, when he realizes he is overmatched and procedes to get his ears boxed off from pillar to post!

I find this insulting.

[Sai]

Unfortunately, I have sneaking suspicions that Taylor is going to get on his bike and potshot his way to a points win. Pavlik is probably not technically gifted enough to pin the little twat down and smack the shit out of him.

I definitely want to see Taylor abused, but I think hes going to win this one via (a possibly dubious) UD

[sues2nd]

I find this insulting.

You will find that Taylor avatar that your gonna be sporting a hellova alot more insulting.

(and dont be insulted Am....you know sues loves ya babay!!!! :good )

ok when has Taylor ever got on his bike and ran?:huh

[Amsterdam]

ok when has Taylor ever got on his bike and ran?:huh

He can't, he just falls apart under pressure and this time that shaky chin is getting cracked.

So much for a supposed P4P level champion, he's about to get cracked by an otherwise B level MW who can pressure hit, I'm fucking impressed.

[dcantwell]

pavlik by 8th round knockout!!

[Morrissey]

i'd say Round 10, which at that point, JT has already wasted a lot of his energy hugging and grabbing Pavlik's body to minimize the hurting.

Ripe for picking...:yep

[cuchulain]

If it comes earlier, all the better.

Did you know that I purchased a pricey bottle of wine to pop open in the event that our prediction comes true?:lol:

Do you have a plan B (for your pricey wine ?)

















Whiskey is better for trying to forget !

[THN]

Taylor will win, drink your wine and try to forget

[booradley]

I'd like to point out that all of the critisizms people make of Pavlik (leaky defense, mediocre hand speed, slow-of-foot, stands up to straight and rigid) were also made of Alexis Arguello, and we know how his career turned out!

I'm picking Pavlik by brutal KO in 7-9 rounds. He'll figure JT out in 4 or 5 rounds, step on the gas, and be rid of him by round 9.

Boo

[Zakman]

Can't wait until Pavlik knocks this overrated FRAUD the f*ck OUT. :happy

[Toopretty]

Can't wait until Pavlik knocks this overrated FRAUD the f*ck OUT. :happy:nut:nut:nut:nut He might win..but it aint fucking b.c JT is overrated....JT was a good solid middleweight champion..And you ridiculous posters that cant see that need to just eat shit..for real. I mean really eat shittles
