Pavlik makes great fghts indeed, but there's no need for a rematch.

Agreed.. that was freaking awesome. :happy :happy :happy

[Brooklyn Boxer]

It looked like after the fight that Jim Lampley was dissappointed by the outcome.

[HandsOfGold]

I definitely appreciate what both guys did. I was yelling at the TV all fight long. My quote of the night was something like Omg these guys are two prime athletic beasts goin at it. They go up there and do things that 99% of the world can't do.

I wonder if Taylor will push for the rematch. That kind of KO is pretty demoralizing.

[sandwichsurgeon]

WOW

as Hop said "boxing is back"

Fuck

WOW

I'm breathless, what can I say?

Jesus christ

I need a smoke

[lillarry]

imho I dont see anything that Jermain can to beat this guy. He does not know how to use his superior athletic boxing skills. I was screaming the whole fight get off the Fucking ropes

[MrStayman]

Agreed! As the post topic says, appreciate what you saw, including the fighters!

[luckiestman]

fight was so awesome, it went by in a snap.



seriously, 7 rounds felt like 1 minute

[Polymath]

Great fight.

Berto was good too.

[punchdynamo]

Even more demoralizing is that, after devastating Kelly in the 2nd round (Kelly was almost on the verge of doing the chicken dance), Kelly came back the next round and threw 99 punches and was still backing JT up.

Big props to Taylor for stepping up and taking that match during an era when most champions don't face the best. He didn't back down and took on his true number one contender. It's rare that the two best in a division put it all on the line, but we got that tonight. It didn't disapoint. Taylor is no fraud - he was a good champion. But Pavlik is for real. He goes in the ring with the intent to destroy, and to see a true champion get knocked out by him is just a testament to his heart/power. I was getting tired of 12 round decision championship fights. This was what a championship fight should be...a war.

[luckiestman]

Spectacular card! Both fights were thoroughly entertaining. And it wasnt on PPV. Appreciate!


i was absolutely SHOCKED that this was not a PPV. how they can sell some of the shit they put on PPV, i thought for sure this wouldnt be on HBO


i had great anticipation for this fight


guess it was a fight fan fight, more than a casual fan fight

[Brooklyn Boxer]

Do you think Taylor will get rid of Manny? I think Taylor should take some time off and get a new trainer and start fresh.

[Irländsk]

The was fight of the year. Unbelievable amount of respect to both fighters, they fought with serious guts. I didn't sit down for the entire match and when Pavlik had Taylor nearly out I was swinging so wildly I was nearly breaking shit in my flat and I woke my girlfriend up at fucking 6am with my shouting.
Finally a real fight after all the fucking cancellations and Briggs/Valuev type shite. Excellent.

Taylor does not have the ability to kick on and improve upon his limited style of fighting. On the other hand, Pavlik can only improve. He demonstrated the fact during the fight.

[4Rounder]

Awesome fight!!! Very entertaining night of boxing.

Looks like Pavlik is gonna reign supreme for a while.

Pavlik is a good pressure fighter..as much as JT tried to get off the ropes, he finds himself trapped again..hope he bounces back!:!:
