[hitman_hatton1]

what did u think then guys??

close fight for 10 rds.

i had it level with 2 to go.

but pavlik closed well.

hurt taylor in the 11th and outworked him in the 12 to bring it on home.

taylor can come again against the likes of miranda, froch, bute, kessler etc.

i say bring on pavlik-tito. :bbb better than a duddy fight anyway.

draw for me

taylor v froch id love to see

tito past it, best figh would be for pavlik to fight winky but thats not even in the picture

[stuey]

I agree pavlik won, 115-113, primarily because of the 11th (hard body shot took Taylor out of it) and 12th.

I still think Pavlik is mediocre and he looked pedestrian beside an equally mediocre fighter in Taylor.


same scorline here, i reckon pavlik is pretty good though. he works well of the jab and is busy throughout the twelve, obviously has good power too.

[Max Molyneux]

Had It a draw.

I thought Taylor's boxing ability was better though.

Pavlik's an aggressive come forward guy who wouldn't be good enough without his size at Middleweight. Not hard to hit either.

[rooq]

i had this as a narrow win for pavlik.

pavlik should stay down at middleweight and try to unify, and taylor will be a welcome addition to an increasingly strong supermiddleweight division.

kessler-bute-froch-lacy-miranda-pascal-mundine and now taylor

[steelem]

pavlik won that 2 rounds plus - his gonna hold that title for a while ild say

[mike464]

Had it 115-113 Pavlik. Setanta are so crap. Why didn't they start the show earlier and how us the Navarro-Mijares fight from the start? That's what Sky would have done.

[GazOC]

It may be unfair but Taylor always looks like he could be doing a lot more if only he could be arsed.

[steelem]

i was lucky i got up at 3:30 this morning & it was about 5 mins away ..

[steelem]

It may be unfair but Taylor always looks like he could be doing a lot more if only he could be arsed.

never liked taylor though gaz - your right lazy boxer

[Claypole]

I could not believe how bad the commentators were. One of them was punch drunk, and the other one was just a bit too camp for my liking.
Setanta do the absolute bare minimum they can possibly get away with.

[GazOC]

Claypole, thats exactly what I thought. He sounded like a right 'one'...camp as a row of tents.

The other guy was Ray Mancini, did you catch the bit where he said he thought Pavlik may tire in the 3rd half of the fight???

i don't get why hbo provide different commentators for the overseas feed.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Well, I havent read the general forum yet, but did anyone else from these shores think that Taylor did enough to win that fight? Or was it just me?

[Claypole]

The other guy was Ray Mancini, did you catch the bit where he said he thought Pavlik may tire in the 3rd half of the fight???I remember Ray Mancini. The only bits I could make out were "believe me" and "Let me tell ya"
I reckon they got the other guy from a hair salon in L.A. Truth is, it was still better than Bunce grunting and groaning.

[Claypole]

Well, I havent read the general forum yet, but did anyone else from these shores think that Taylor did enough to win that fight? Or was it just me?I thought it was a hard fight to score. Taylor threw better looking punches, and a fair few of them. Was it enough though? I Not for me, but if Taylor got the decision it wouldn't be the worst call ever.

[GazOC]

Depends how you scored the aggression, there were quite a few 10/10 rounds that would have been given to Pavlik based purely on coming forward.

[GazOC]

but pavlik's agression was generally hitting Taylor's gloves and Taylor was getting through.

Just a style preference thing there.

Yep, thats what I'm saying. It wasn't 'effective aggression' but it may have been better than no aggression in the judges eyes?

[puremental2]

i had it 115 - 112 pavlik

[Dunky McCafferty]

I thought it was a hard fight to score. Taylor threw better looking punches, and a fair few of them. Was it enough though? I Not for me, but if Taylor got the decision it wouldn't be the worst call ever.

Thats the thing, I thought Taylor was excellent. great jab, lightning left hook exploding on Pavliks face time & again, nice bodywork, whilst pavlik was walking forward & doing well with his jab, but not much else. Pavlik was methodical & does exactly what it says on the tin.

But Taylor aprt from when he got caught with a beautiful right to the solar plexus in the 11th I thought out thought a determined but limited Pavlik.
I normally favour the aggressor in fights, but Taylor IMO did more than enough to edge a points decision.

[The Lads]

I'd had a few... was there really bizzare scoring on one undercard fight?

[The Lads]

Found it. The Mijares fight.

One judge had it 120-108 Navarro. The other 2 judges had it 117-111 & 115-113 MIjares


wtf?

[Dunky McCafferty]

Found it. The Mijares fight.

One judge had it 120-108 Navarro. The other 2 judges had it 117-111 & 115-113 MIjares


wtf?

The boxing writer Mike Katz was supposed to have said that the scoring was the worst he had ever seen in all his years in the sport. I didnt see the fight myself.

[elle]

Was away over the weekend so haven't seen the fight yet.

Did tip Pavlik to win in one of the threads beforehand - look forward to watching a recording of the bout and will attempt to score it.
