Wow, I thought Pavlik was a much taller man than Taylor, obviously not. Both look in fine health for this fight - should be a great fight

[pipe wrenched]

Oh lord, this is going to be a war! Thanks for putting up the pics.

[emanuel_augustus]

Where's the story? Link? Nothing on f-news.

[Tom_Tocca]

explosive atmosphere due to the fans - if the fight helds up to the fans encouragement it will be FOTY...

[Toopretty]

Pavlik got the reach advantage but is a skinny mofo. Just as skinny as paul williams.

[DanePugilist]

From what I have seen from the post fight vid, Taylor still doesn't seem to take his boxing serious enough - let alone Pavlik. Could be wrong but it won't change the "facts" that Pavlik will win this.

[pipe wrenched]

The boxing world is on fire for this fight. Good guy vs Good guy. I can't wait, this is going to be one for the ages. Books will be written about tommorow night! Pavlik KO 7.

[Shane_Erich]

Does Jermain looks more ripped than he usually does?

[Burundanga]

I think when they square off in the ring, Pavlik will be the substantially bigger guy despite these pics.

[TroubleLurks]

Kelly sure does appear to have the reach advantage.

Taylor by UD I can't believe so many are falling for the hype. People are so blinded by power that they overlook everything else.:-( Look at the complete package people there's more to boxing than just power!:deal

[ironchamp]

I guess I'm alone in thinking that this fight is an obvious win for Taylor. This is the first time in years that he's fighting a fighter that presents no stylistic puzzles for him.


My guess Taylor KO8

Taylor will see the package alright... Kelly's package, as he looks up from the canvas. :yep

No doubt. ESB seems split down the middle for this one. Pavlik KO 7.

[SKULLSPLITTER]

Pavlik looks like this guy I used to know. He had a problem with meth and constantly bit his fingernails....

No doubt. ESB seems split down the middle for this one. Pavlik KOBY 7.

:yep Yes.

We'll see just like I told people before the PBF-Oscar fight when people said Oscar by KO. It's not wise to bet on a KO when a fighter has never been knocked down or really even hurt in the ring...some will never learn.:-( When you step up in class like Pavlik is doing he will find that Taylor won't fold from the first flush shot, like Miranda or Zertuche, this happens when you step up in class. Then what? Will Kelly outbox Taylor to a win if he doesn't KO Taylor? Hell no he's fucked.:deal

[Vincent Gottschalk]

Truth be told Pavlik is the better boxer in this fight and will out box Taylor before knocking him out:nono Kelly is the new Monzon I tell you!!!:happy

I've never seen Taylor look this good physically.

Man, I can't wait to see if you even show your face here Sunday morning. I'm betting, no. :yep


Pavlik dominates, hurts and then STOPS Taylor inside of 9 rounds.

Get ready folks... it's coming.

great fight indeed but good guy vs good guy sounds stupid.

would people want to see batman and superman fight each other :huh

or batman vs the joker and superman vs lux luthor.

best buddies fights have shity fight build ups, no drama no nothings.just we just gone have a great fight type of shit. booooooo boooooooo boooooooo :tired

but this will be a great fight for as long as it last :bbb:hi:

[MrStayman]

taylor looks taller(unless he's standing on a slighlty higher platform?). i always though kelly was the taller man.

Kelly's a bit slouched over, and Taylor is standing up as straight as possible (look at the backs). I think Kelly's a little taller.

[DanePugilist]

Post fight vid? For what fight, Taylor vs. Spinks?This one... it was merely a typo.

Taylor has been hurt before, and it was by a one punch lunging shot , Hopkins hit him with. Taylor managed to not get hurt by avoiding all punchers ,and fighting featherfisted and smaller fighters like Spinks, Wright, Ouma. And just every other fighter Taylor has fought , even coming up as prospect , has been weak punching. We may find out the reason why Taylor loved fighting smaller and feather punching fighters , when he gets hit by Pavlik.

I like your confidence just make sure you show up here after the fight. I'll be here win lose or draw.:good

[madpup]

Very excited about this one!

[Hadrian]

pimp c-yes there is a lot more to boxing than power and JT doesn't have much of "a lot more". He is not a perticularly good defensive fighter, he is fast-but not amazingly so, his ring intelligence would put him in Mrs. Johnsons 4th period remedial group, his skills are so-so. He's basicaly a very good athlete, with some decnt boxing ability and heart. It's not like Pavlik is fighting a middleweight Mayweather. I see a competative tough fight with pavlik scoring a late round tko.

[Pimp C]

Taylor has been hurt before, and was by a one punch, good shot Hopkins hit him with. Taylor managed to not get hurt by avoiding all punchers ,and fighting featherfisted and smaller fighters like Spinks, Wright, Ouma. And just every other fighter Taylor has fought , even coming up as prospect , has been weak punching. We may out the reason why Taylor loved fighting smaller and feather punching fighters , when he gets hit by Pavlik.
He was somewhat hurt against Hopkins but not out on his feet. It was fatigue more than anything. Hopkins is ATG a true throw back 15 round fighter that would have stopped Winky and Tarver if fights still were 15 rounds long. Taylor's chin is fine you can't take it away from him. Pavlik has been dropped Taylor hasn't. Pavlik hasn't fought a boxer as good as Taylor so I can say the samething about Kelly. How will he react when he's in there with someone with better skills not to mention the psychological edge Taylor has over Pavlik because of his win in the amatuers.

[Grabonator]

Both look like they always does, nothing to get excited about and nothing to change a previous prediction of the fight for. It was clear from the beginning that Taylor looks much better physically. I said it before and say it again, Pavlick by KO round 8.

[Grabonator]

as of my post, 18 voted and it's 9-9... This is the closest fight I've seen on this board.

Now its 20-20!! :shock:

Kelly Pavlik TKO7 Jermain Taylor

[swedeone]

I like your confidence just make sure you show up here after the fight. I'll be here win lose or draw.:good



Deal. :good

[Toopretty]

Pavlik is lean, but he isn't as skinny as that anorexic motherfucker Williams

NO. that motherfucker is anerexic. I dont know what you are smoking If I was taylor I would go to the body. That looks to be a weaker spot then trying to bounce it off Pavliks good chin.

[Pimp C]

That's a good point, although I don't think Pavlik even thinks about that. 7 years ago, Pav was only 17 at the time and Taylor was 21 and even then, sources say it wasn't a blowout.
Yep It's always in the back of your mind I don't care who you are or how long ago it was. You're still going to have to face the test and say am I good enough or does this guy just have my number.

[brooklyn1550]

I am not just picking Kelly because of his obvious power, but he has so much more than that. He has a good jab, throws combinations, can take a shot, and is an excellent in fighter for his size.

[Lacyace]

Another hype is about to come to a screeching halt. Come Sunday morning, I'm going to sip a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, smoke a cigar, and then come on this site and laugh at the lot of you. Taylor got this, easy.

We'll see about that...

[psychopath]

I thought he looked a weight drained a bit. His eyes were a little sunk in looking. Pavilik looking at him, I would think he was a long distance runner.

Well that should be the result of his intensive stamina regiment training. :p

[geppy]

Hopkins is ATG a true throw back 15 round fighter that would have stopped Winky and Tarver if fights still were 15 rounds long. Taylor's chin is fine you can't take it away from him.

What puncher has Taylor ever fought? Any? Taylor has fought good fighters , but most of them have been smaller & pitifully weak punchers. Hopkins is the hardest puncher he fought, even at that , almost all his KO's come by late rounds after landing many shots to wear down opponents, not one punch power. One punch power is what Taylor is going to feel against Pavlik.

[bachatu]

Like I said before, a win over Miranda and this guys image turned into King Kong.... as you can see in the pictures, hes not much bigger than Jermaine...he looks to be longer or have longer limbs,.

[Tom_Tocca]

Does Taylor has the same shape of face as Trinidad? He reminds me of him in this last pic...

One punch power is overrated if that's the case Julian Jackson and Shavers would be two of the greatest of all time.:deal

[Ambition_Def]

Taylor looks almost overworked, too tight.

Pavlik looks as usual, loose. Which is very good for boxing. I think he'll get the stoppage.

Lacyace! My god , I have never seen a hyped fighter get humiliated and outclassed as badly as Lacy. You have no right to speak on the subject of hype jobs, shut up.

[brooklyn1550]

If you guys want to see a detailed analysis and a non-biased, objective breakdown of this fight with no actual pick, look at zivic1941's post on the first page of this thread. By far the best analysis I have seen regarding this fight...

The problem I see that Taylor wants to fight every light punching fighter he can possibly find. Why is that, is Taylor hiding something?

Taylor wanted to fight Sergio Mora (has like 3 ko's in 20 wins), Mora didnt want the fight, so he brings in Cory Spinks ( a very light punching WW). Taylor has not fought a single dangerous puncher ever. Why is that?

Who knows it happens to be the best fighters at 160 weren't devastating punchers example Hopkins or Winky but he's fighting Kelly now a guy who many said he wouldn't fight. You guys act as if Taylor has a glass jaw or something like he's been dropped multiple times or hurt multiple times, if he did Hopkins hits hard enough and would have exposed it.

[AmazingHook]

They both look very confident. It's going to be one hellava fight.

[Marnoff]

Does Jermain looks more ripped than he usually does?

Big time.

[Marnoff]

Kelly sure does appear to have the reach advantage.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Not much, he has his fingers out which is making his arms appear much longer.

[AmazingHook]

Big time.

Nah, Taylor looks the same. I don't see any difference from previous fights.

[Orishaman]

I have not heard anything regrding this but Pavlik looks drained....we will see if I am right...

Hopkins wasnt throwing any god damn punches , and is not a one punch fighter, he has to wear down opponents. The two fights were terrible. Little can be told about a fighters chin in snooze fest, with barely punches thrown or landed.

I will just say this , if you have a very skilled fighter, but he has a weak chin. Perhaps Taylor, he could of not possibly been matched any better to protect his chin. His managers want fights like Mora, Spinks, Wright (good fighters with absolutely no power) they are fighting Pavlik because they have to.

[AG11]

I just gotta go with Pavlik because of his confidence. I know he hasn't faced the competition Taylor has but has anyone seen his interview on Maxboxing round table??? This guy just seems so damn confidant and determined.....just chilling knowing that a lot of people are going to be eating their words come Sunday. Taylor seems very unsure of himself....facing all these awkward fighters in a row has really sapped his confidence.

Kelly seems like a really intelligent guy. I feel like he is also going to turn it up in the later rounds as he does not want to be another victim of "Bad Decisions". We'll find out in about 25 hours!

[jopez707]

Cmon taylor, shut up the naysayers!

[o_money]

Not much, he has his fingers out which is making his arms appear much longer.

I haven't seen enough kelly pavlik wieghins to be able to say for sure but he looks fine to me.

Taylor has a good chin, it would have been exposed by now, it's not like he is SPinks or a prime Roy Jones, he does get hit, he hassn't been really hurt except against Hopkins, but he survived and never went down.

[fightingmajor]

Taylor looks absolutely fantastic! I think he looks better here than inpast fights He is more ripped and lean, which is what you need. Pavlik looks only so-so IMO. It sort of looks like Pavlik really struggled to make weight.

Taylor will win this fight convincingly. He will put on his best performance as champion. Styles make fights, and he is not fighting one of the most difficult defensive fighters in history, like he did with Wright, Hopkins and Spinks.

[geppy]

Again, I can I hate to repeat myself but what puncher has Taylor ever fought? Taylor wasnt knocked down by Wright, Spinks, or Ouma, imagine that. They are from smaller weight classes and not punchers.

[o_money]

Yeah i think taylor's managment was putting him in there with fether fists more becauso of a lack of focus then a bad chin cause you can get away with a lack of focus if you are facing someone that can't punch provided your a better boxer then they are. Against a puncher your fucked.


Jermain will be focused for this one though. But it might take him some rounds to get his confidence up because like one of the above posters said it looks like fighting all these awkward guys has sapped his confidence a bit.

Pavlik has to start early.

Although this forum is split down the middle on this fight it looks like over 70% of boxing writers are picking taylor.

Pavlik TKO 9

Jermain's going to get blitzed early and then worn down slow.

[jsimps]

Pavlik dropped about 20lbs since August. I think he looks primed and ready to knock "all intentions" out of Taylor. Pavlik is taller, not by much. However, I believe Taylor has a longer reach.

[o_money]

37 - 36 taylor

[bigeddie27]

I've never seen Taylor look this good physically.
yeah me too. the poconos did him some good it seems. Maybe manny and him will work out after all. btw, I gotta feeling this is going to be a fucking war.

[bigeddie27]

Another hype is about to come to a screeching halt. Come Sunday morning, I'm going to sip a cup of coffee, read the newspaper, smoke a cigar, and then come on this site and laugh at the lot of you. Taylor got this, easy.

that sounds like a brilliant idea.

[heidegger]

I guess I'm alone in thinking that this fight is an obvious win for Taylor. This is the first time in years that he's fighting a fighter that presents no stylistic puzzles for him.


My guess Taylor KO8

Exactly my opinion. Prediction too.

[audio101]

Taylor by UD I can't believe so many are falling for the hype. People are so blinded by power that they overlook everything else.:-( Look at the complete package people there's more to boxing than just power!:deal

Complete package? Have you not seen his past 2 fights..:patsch

[sues2nd]

Holy Shit!!!!

Taylor Looks Bigger Than Kelly!!!!

[sues2nd]

Truth be told Pavlik is the better boxer in this fight and will out box Taylor before knocking him out:nono Kelly is the new Monzon I tell you!!!:happy

:patsch

Why even post in a boxing forum, if you know nothing of the sport?

[Amsterdam]

:patsch

Why even post in a boxing forum, if you know nothing of the sport?

Well, Taylor is a boxer-puncher stylistically, he's not a sound defensive boxer at all. Skill wise, the fight is pretty close, people are just judging from Taylor's opposition.

[sues2nd]

[sues2nd]

Well, Taylor is a boxer-puncher stylistically, he's not a sound defensive boxer at all. Skill wise, the fight is pretty close, people are just judging from Taylor's opposition.

The guy said Pavlik is the new Monzon. He said Pavlik is the better boxer.

Neither is even CLOSE to being the truth....even you Am have to admit that.

[Amsterdam]

The guy said Pavlik is the new Monzon. He said Pavlik is the better boxer.

Neither is even CLOSE to being the truth....even you Am have to admit that.

Wrong. Pavlik is just a solid, B level MW boxer-puncher, nothing like a Monzon.

Taylor is also B level compared to the real P4P elite, he's nothing to be impressed with and never has been.

This is a B level fight.

[AmazingHook]

Wrong. Pavlik is just a solid, B level MW boxer-puncher, nothing like a Monzon.

Taylor is also B level compared to the real P4P elite, he's nothing to be impressed with and never has been.

This is a B level fight.

Who do you think is the best Middleweight boxer today? Taylor? Pavlik? Sturm? Abraham? ? ? ? ?

[sues2nd]

Wrong. Pavlik is just a solid, B level MW boxer-puncher, nothing like a Monzon.

Taylor is also B level compared to the real P4P elite, he's nothing to be impressed with and never has been.

This is a B level fight.

As I said...nothing like Monzon. Hense my post.

About the second thing. Taylor has better footwork (he actually has great footwork), better movement, a better jab, uses better leverage on his punches, is more accurate, etc.

Kelly is stronger and hits harder.

Hense my post again.

But I think again you arent looking at the big picture here. How many fighters would look to be a B level fighter against Hopkins, Winky, Ouma and Spinks? Just about anyone if you ask me.

You will see in just under 24 hours bro.

[Ilesey]

I think this will be a competitive fight. When the fight was announced I went with Pavlik but as the fight draws closer I am starting to sway toward Taylor. I still pick Pavlik, but only just.

[sues2nd]

Who do you think is the best Middleweight boxer today? Taylor? Pavlik? Sturm? Abraham? ? ? ? ?

Well of those that you named.....Abraham, then Sturm (tho I feel he is RIDICULOUSLY overrated), then Taylor..................................THEN PAVLIK.

Pavlik isnt a good boxer. His fundamentals are awful. Footwork, movement, etc. They are not good at all.

I do think he is a really good FIGHTER....dont get me wrong. He has a good chin, very good power in both hands, high output, etc. But as a boxer, he is leaps and bounds BELOW Taylor.

[brooklyn1550]

Only 22 more hours

[Hicior]

Taylor UD 12 He is more fast than Pavlik...

[brooklyn1550]

Jermain is a former Olympian. That means he is a master tactician/technician.

Samuel Peter is also a former Olympian. Does that mean he is a master tactician/technician?

[cross_trainer]

Wrong. Pavlik is just a solid, B level MW boxer-puncher, nothing like a Monzon.

Taylor is also B level compared to the real P4P elite, he's nothing to be impressed with and never has been.

This is a B level fight.

The two best middleweights today fighting against each other. It may be B-level in terms of the entire history of the sport's All Time Greats, but it's very significant here and now.

The winner, incidentally, will be A level regardless of how you define it.

[cuchulain]

I think when they square off in the ring, Pavlik will be the substantially bigger guy despite these pics.



He's going to grow overnight ?

[cross_trainer]

He's going to grow overnight ?

Miracle Grow is a wonderful tool.

[sues2nd]

Pavlik is 6'3, Taylor might be under 6'1". Pavlik was very relaxed at the weigh-in and wasn't concerned with straightening his back so he could stare down Taylor. He's not worried about him.

Pavlik at the weigh in was 6'2 and Taylor was 6'1. Pavlik has a reach of 75", Taylor 74".

Not much of a difference there at all. I DOUBT he was relaxed and slouched...as many of the people are saying. They are just similar sized....only Jermain looks RIPPED!

[Illmatic]

wow... 49-49

[YOUNG*LORD]

I haven't commented on who I thought would win this fight until now....Pavlik by UD.

[sues2nd]

I don't understand why everyones talkiing about Taylor's physique. He always looks like that :huh

No....not really. He is always in great shape....but not THAT GREAT! You can tell he hasnt taken this fight lightly.

I cannot wait till tommorow.

[sues2nd]

I definitely don't think he's taken this fight lightly. But I dunno, to me he looks the same as he did in other fights

Hopkins-Taylor I

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Hopkins 1 was his big shot. OF COURSE he is gonna come prepared. This weigh in, he looks, for the first time...like he did then.

RIPPED!

[Grabonator]

Holy Shit!!!!

Taylor Looks Bigger Than Kelly!!!!

I think so too.

[lillarry]

Taylor looks almost overworked, too tight.

Pavlik looks as usual, loose. Which is very good for boxing. I think he'll get the stoppage.

I dont see that at all. They both appear to be in peak condition.
Its funny how some people see what they want to see .

[Zhaakal]

Kelly looks ripped :D

[divac]

I like Jermaine Taylor inside of 10 rounds!

Speed and skill will be the difference, and Pavlik will not be facing the wide looping shots that were telegraphed from Edison Miranda.

A great night for Jermaine Taylor that will quiet a few of the naysayers!

[Grabonator]

Kelly looks ripped :D

The guy has ZERO muscle definition. You would never believe how this guy can bang when you havent seen it yourself.

[bigeddie27]

Well, Taylor is a boxer-puncher stylistically, he's not a sound defensive boxer at all. Skill wise, the fight is pretty close, people are just judging from Taylor's opposition.

so skill wise the fight is close but you stated before on another thread that pavlik should be a 10/1 favourite over Jermain? whats the matter amsterdam, bold predictions that you think everyone has forgotten? not feeling so confident of a pavlik win all of a sudden? maybe to save some face in case of a pavlik loss? sorry to be so rude man but that was a dumb statement. The odds should be 60/40 Jermain, and I think taylor by knockout

[wrastla285]

I think when they square off in the ring, Pavlik will be the substantially bigger guy despite these pics.

I think its nice seein Jermain fight someone just close to his size. i think this is the first time ive seen him fight when he's not gonna look huge compared to the person he's fighting

[Marnoff]

Nah, Taylor looks the same. I don't see any difference from previous fights.

No way. I see a lot more definition than ever before.

[Marnoff]

I haven't seen enough kelly pavlik wieghins to be able to say for sure but he looks fine to me.

?

I wasn't saying he didn't look fine, I was just responding that I don't think his arms are much longer than Taylor's.

[pipe wrenched]

Kelly looks like his head ripped throug a busted condom.:rofl :rofl :rofl

:lol: :lol: Pavlik KO 7 .

Taylor by UD I can't believe so many are falling for the hype. People are so blinded by power that they overlook everything else.:-( Look at the complete package people there's more to boxing than just power!:deal

It's more than power - it's Taylor's mediocrity. At the world class level, he can't beat ANYONE convincingly, even fighters moving up from lower weight classes - guys, who, I might add, have been specifically selected because they don't hit hard.:yep

Pavlik is gonna show exactly WHY Taylor has faced nothing but light-hitters moving up from lower weight classes since Hopkins rocked him. Tonight, the HBO hype-job and his shaky chin get EXPOSED!! :nod

Taylor's cheekbones weigh five pounds each

[BITCH ASS]

Pavlik at the weigh in was 6'2 and Taylor was 6'1. Pavlik has a reach of 75", Taylor 74".

Not much of a difference there at all. I DOUBT he was relaxed and slouched...as many of the people are saying. They are just similar sized....only Jermain looks RIPPED!

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to look Ripped and everything, but we all know who's got the power advantage in this one.

So not building muscle is probably in Pavlik's advantage. He's already got the power, extra muscle ain't necessary.

Well of course muscle doesnt always translate power....agree totally there. And I also agree that Pavlik is the harder puncher. But from a pure readiness standpoint, Taylor looking THAT RIPPED (probably the best he has looked pre-fight since the first Hopkins fight) shows that he is up to the chalenge so to say.

[jsimps]

Taylor looks to be in great shape. I still think he is going to try and go toe to toe to remove that chip from his shoulder. I believe that plays right into Kelly's corner.

at what time does the fight starts? how many hours left?

[MrFoFody]

Taylor will win by either ud or late stoppage

[Ted Stickles]

My mind says Taylor but i would like to see Pavlik

[MrFoFody]

Taylor's straight and quick punches will be the difference in this match up
