[Sdt]

Holy shit my prediction was taylor by ko, I wasnt that far in the 2nd round

[Danny Ocean]

Taylor was EXPOSED tonight!!! :yep

seriously somethinh is wrong with some of you so called fans

[Peterp]

way to go Kelly, but Taylor wasn't exposed, he was winning by a mile before he got caught

[PJD3]

I knew he would go down in the 7th, but I just thought he get up and get stoped in the 9th.
:bowdown

[Toopretty]

Taylor was exposed for what..that he could bang....or what that he is strong...what the fuck are you short memoried assholes talking about..he took a lot of flush shots from Pavlik......and stayed up.......FUCK THE HATERS YOU RACISTS BITCHES>>OVERATTED FOR WHAT>>PAVLIKS STYLE WON HIM THAT SHIT AS I SAID IN EVERY POST THE LAZY LOW GUARD OF TAYLOR>

[Boinko]

Excellent fight by Pavlik. To come back after that beating he took in round 2 and take the fight is extremely impressive.
This guy is gonna be a handful if he stays at middleweight (or super middleweight for that matter).
And he's never gonna be in a boring fight.

Congrats to Kelly.

[Toopretty]

fuck these haters..If JT was not as much of a timid idiot he could of took his ass out in the second....and the thirds....................FUCK THESE TAYLOR HATERS>>THE MOTHERFUCKER SHOWED HEART>>POWER>>>EVERYTHING YOU CUNTS SAY HE DIDNT HAVE>>HE IS JUST RETARDED.

[swedeone]

Come on dude exposed? You just takin it too far. Good job for the new Middleweight champion of the world.


Are you serious? :huh

EVERYONE questioned his chin and HE WAS EXPOSED TONIGHT. Grab a clue, please.

[Alo2006]

I said he would KO Taylor. I am LOVING IT!!!!!!

Taylor was EXPOSED tonight!!! :yep


Stupid ass, what are u talking about? JT simply didn't keep his left guard up. That's what won Pavlik the fight.

[Tito Time]

Congrats Pavlick, I doubted him too.

[Zankou]

Taylor almost won the fight, so I don't think "exposed" is the right term. The only thing "exposed" was Pavlik's huge punching power and heart. He did what Hopkins, etc. could not --- KTFO Taylor.

[PacDbest]

PacD Called it too!!! I said Taylor will lead the 1st 2 rds. Wobbled Taylor in the 3rd & KO in the 8th, Just missed by 1 rd.

[China_hand_Joe]

Pavlik should move up to SMW so he can be truly exposed by eitehr Calzaghe or Kessler. Then the foundations of American boxing are destroyed.

Hopkins lost to that (Taylor) twice and you actually want him in your P4P lists.

[buddynabuick]

Your afrocentrism is pretty gay.


EAT A MEXICAN DICK BITCH.

:rofl

Whose right hand got off first? Taylor significantly faster? Fuck that noise that man couldn't even get his legs under him in the first.

He has a hell of a left hook though I'll give him that much. :good

[swedeone]

Dude If Kelly hit anyone with a right hand like that they would be out. He has 29 ko's in like 32 or 33 fight so you need to get the clue. Stop typin this nonsense.




This has to do with Jermain's chin. HELLO?????????????????????

Where have you been, man? Are you serious? I mean it. Really? :huh

Everyone knew Kelly's unreal power. What many questioned was Taylor's chin. THAT was exposed tonight. Period.

[buddynabuick]

Your afrocentrism is pretty gay.



:goodCALLING PEOPLE RACIST CAUSE THEIR HAPPY THEIR GUY WON:tired

[Danny Ocean]

did you see the shots he took in round 3 and your still saying his chin was exposed

what a fucking nobhead you are

[SkillsSoSmooth]

fuck these haters..If JT was not as much of a timid idiot he could of took his ass out in the second....and the thirds....................FUCK THESE TAYLOR HATERS>>THE MOTHERFUCKER SHOWED HEART>>POWER>>>EVERYTHING YOU CUNTS SAY HE DIDNT HAVE>>HE IS JUST RETARDED.

I hear you brotha!!, but i gotta say Jermain dug his own grave today, the brotha had the dude dead on his feet and then stopped beating Pavliks ass in the last min of the round, but there's no doubt Taylor was winning the fight easy but i was always concerned about his defence, the dude simply takes too many punches man, if Pavlik was in there with Winky or Hopkins it would have been over, imo Pavlik is a sitting duck because power alone will not carry him far, the man has no combinations at all and is slow as hell, a hit and mover with decent defense will eat him up.

[buddynabuick]

Congrats Pavlick, I doubted him too.



Respect:good

[MrStayman]

Taylor almost won the fight, so I don't think "exposed" is the right term. The only thing "exposed" was Pavlik's huge punching power and heart. He did what Hopkins, etc. could not --- KTFO Taylor.

Exactly. People need to show more respect. They criticize taylor for lack of heart, low output, and weakness. He shows all of these things in a closely contested potential fight of the year. Exposed is not the right word.

[swedeone]

did you see the shots he took in round 3 and your still saying his chin was exposed

what a fucking nobhead you are


The first BIG shot he took was the one in the final round. He ate alot of jabs and some good right hands, but nothing BIG by any means until he was stopped. You know it, and I do too.

[Ambition_Def]

Taylor did try to get Pavlik out of there. He threw a lot of punches in the process.

The problem is he isn't as fast or as accurate as some of you were making him out to be. Plus Pavlik tied up instead of fighting back which was smart.

He went out on his shield though, which is what alot of us suspected. You just had to know that as open as Taylor is to right hands that Pavlik was gonna crush him. If there is one punch you can't afford to get hit by with Pavlik it's that right hand.

But Taylor did take some flush right hands in the process. He doesn't have a terrible chin. Not a Sam Peter chin but decent anyways.

[Alo2006]

This has to do with Jermain's chin. HELLO?????????????????????

Where have you been, man? Are you serious? I mean it. Really? :huh

Everyone knew Kelly's unreal power. What many questioned was Taylor's chin. THAT was exposed tonight. Period.

Taylor chin is ok, it took Pavlik to land a lot of shot to hurt JT. Lets see u take clean shot to the chin, and see how long u stand :yep

[Pimp C]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:yep
You called it. I'm a man of my word congrats to Kelly he showed the heart of a champ by getting off the canvas to win.

[Toopretty]

I hear you brotha!!, but i gotta say Jermain dug his own grave today, the brotha had the dude dead on his feet and then stopped beating Pavliks ass in the last min of the round, but there's no doubt Taylor was winning the fight easy but i was always concerned about his defence, the dude simply takes too many punches man, if Pavlik was in there with Winky or Hopkins it would have been over, imo Pavlik is a sitting duck because power alone will not carry him far, the man has no combinations at all and is slow as hell, a hit and mover with decent defense will eat him up.

JT HAS POWER,, CHIN,,HEART..BUT AS I SAID WITH MY FIRST POST AND AS i BEEN SAYING HE IS RETARDED. HE HAS A MENTAL BLOCK OR SOMETHING...

[swedeone]

You called it. I'm a man of my word congrats to Kelly he showed the heart of a champ by getting off the canvas to win.



Bigtime props to you. You are a good fan. :good

[Toopretty]

The first BIG shot he took was the one in the final round. He ate alot of jabs and some good right hands, but nothing BIG by any means until he was stopped. You know it, and I do too.
SHUT YOUR BLIND DUMB ASS UP..HE ATE PLENTY IN ROUND 3 WHEN THEY WERE GOING BLOW FOR BLOW....PAVLIK WAS JUST A TOUGH MOTHERFUCKER..HE CHICKEND DANCED HIS WAY TO THE CORNER GOT HIS LEGS BACK AND SHOWED MENTAL TOUGHNESS..JT IS RETARDED.

[miamite]

you and a million other people. you didn't exactly pick Tyson over Douglas.

[mattress]

Taylor was EXPOSED tonight!!! :yep


Personally I thought the complete opposite. One or two more punches on target and it would have all been over 5 rounds earlier.

[miamite]

Congrats to Pavlik for a great win.

[swedeone]

Props to Taylor..I kept saying he had average power..but I was wrong. It is simply the fighters that made him look bad.



Wait a minute. Pavlik was called a "perfect" opponent for Taylor and one that fit him stylistically to a tee. This is why all the Taylor fans were so fonfidewnt he would win easily. You sound silly with your reasoning. :verysad

[Ambition_Def]

JT HAS POWER,, CHIN,,HEART..BUT AS I SAID WITH MY FIRST POST AND AS i BEEN SAYING HE IS RETARDED. HE HAS A MENTAL BLOCK OR SOMETHING...

I think you just saw something that wasn't there man.

He's always been like a weird mix them up kinda mixed up offensive brawler. You also overrated his speed abit too.

He needs a different trainer though. I'm sold that Manny is very overrated for what he does.

[mattress]

He definitely got speed and power too. I just don't think he has a 'boxing brain'.....not a great one anyway.

[cuchulain]

I picked taylor to win, and quite possibly by KO.

Both predictions nearly came true.

Jermain was in no way exposed. To say he was is a big insult to Bernard, to Winky and most of all, to Kelly.

Jermain was a second or two (or a punch or two) from winning in spectacular style. He was winning the fight with cleaner crisper punching.

I have a minor complaint in how long Kelly had to recover before Jermain got at him again. But as I said, it's minor, and I need to watch this again.

All credit to Kelly for picking his ass up off the canvas and regaining composure. All credit to him for his persistence and pressure and finally capitalizing on Jermains mistakes.

The punches were devastating and the stoppage was good. Jermain should have went down and taken an eight count, but I don't think it would have made much difference.

Kelly showed himself to be a finisher, and therein lies the result. The fight was pretty even till the last quarter minute, when the superior finishing skills of Pavlik prevailed.

I under-rated Kelly because he lacked big names on his resume. He certainly has one now !

Congrats to Jermain for his classy acceptence of defeat and his no-excuse interview.

More congratulations to Kelly for a spectacular, get-up-from-the-mat, come-from-behind victory.

There's a new boss at 160 !

[Decker]

Wait a minute. Pavlik was called a "perfect" opponent for Taylor and one that fit him stylistically to a tee. This is why all the Taylor fans were so fonfidewnt he would win easily. You sound silly with your reasoning. :verysad I've had mild disagreements w/you in some of the Peter threads, but started figuring you out when I saw you picking Pavlik over Taylor earlier. And how you're enjoying your call. You go for the big punchers !
Not sure JT was "exposed", but Pavlik got caught early and within 5 rounds stopped Taylor. Impressive performance by Kelly :good

Not toopretty - you have some serious issues to get this worked up over a fight... sluring posters... take a good look in the mirror :verysad

[cuchulain]

So was B-Hops.

How fickle of you Jack.

BHop was only exposed if you accept that Taylor was exposed.

Remember, your new sherriff.

He wasn't.

He did well tonight, nearly KO'd Pavlik and was ahead on most scorecards.

Kudos to Pavlik for showing a lot of balls in coming back from the brink, but Taylor put up a good fight.

There'll be a rematch.

[boxbox]

I said he would KO Taylor. I am LOVING IT!!!!!!

Taylor was EXPOSED tonight!!! :yep


exposed?! so every win is an exposure nowadays huh? :huh good job kelly!!:thumbsup

[brooklyn1550]

:nono I called it...Pavlik TKO7:D

Anyways, great fight and I have a tremendous amount of respect for both Jermain Taylor and Kelly Pavlilk. Had Jermain been able to follow up and measure his shots more, we may have had Taylor TKO2.

[jsimps]

Props to JT, he fought with a lot of heart. However, the outcome was just as I predicted.

[Lar Janus]

Great fight, for both guys. Instant classic! Was rooting for Pavlik, and thought the judges scoring, up to the point of stoppage, was complete bullshit. I KNEW Pavlik had to KO Taylor, to win, but didn't think he'd do it. This fight has restored some of the respect I'd lost for it, after Mayweather/DLH and Hatton/Castillo.

[Zakman]

So was B-Hops.

How was Hopkins exposed?? Taylor needed HBO to get him gift decisions to "beat" him.:patsch

Taylor just wasn't as good as the HBO hype made him out to be, and his chin was always a bit questionable after Hopkins rocked him and he went straight to fighting soft hitting lighter weight fighters.

THAT'S what Pavlik "exposed.":yep Sorry, HBO - you can't get your post-boy a gift decision when he's annihilated on the canvas!:-(:lol:

[cuchulain]

Kudos to Taylor for getting rid of B-Hops in the middles.

What's your hate for BHop, dude?

A little over-rated by some (especially the present version) but he's one of the best middles ever and he's had a great career.

I hope you're not still sore about his KO of Tito?
