Pavlik vs. Taylor II: The Rematch

[mrjohnnynofear]

I was going to do that but I just lost my connection! Looks like even the Chinese are blocking the feed!

...Espn has it even after 2 rounds...

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

Espn gave 3rd round to Taylor

 

[Vindicator]

It looks like 6002 has returned to broadcasting the fight on a delayed basis.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

ESPN and Harold Letterman (HBO) has it 39-37 Taylor after 4.

 

[Don Wassall]

Anyone have the link to the feed?

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

My feed came back too. I will stop with the round by round for the moment.

put this in once you have your sopcast up. Or choose 6002. It is just going into the 2nd round on sopcast.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

In between the Cantonese, I can hear both fans cheering for Pavlik and Taylor. Sounds about 50-50.

 

[Liverlips]

Sounds like a close fight so far. ESPN has it 4-3 for Taylor.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

Taylor is starting to catch Pavlik with the left hook. Kelly hasn't been injured but he needs to be careful. Keep your guard up Kelly!

Pavlik may be wearing Taylor down. That's how the last fight went. Pavlik got by Taylors aggressive rounds and began to score.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

Dammit, Kelly got caught with a good jab and Kelly's nose is starting to bleed again.

I am beginning on the 8th round of sopcast.

 

[Liverlips]

Last round. Sounds like an even fight at this point though Taylor was hurt at the end of the 11th.

Last round. Sounds like an even fight at this point though Taylor was hurt at the end of the 11th.

Frustrating that your 3 rounds up on SOPCAST.

 

[Liverlips]

Pavlik by unanimous decision!

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

Kelly is starting to get some good shots in in the 9th round on Sopcast. It does look like Taylor is starting to feel them.

 

[Liverlips]

Guys -- sorry if I gave anything away

 

[Van_Slyke_CF]

Pavlik by unanimous decision!

Another win for the good guys!

 

[jaxvid]

Guys -- sorry if I gave anything away

YES you did, but since it was good news I will enjoy the last couple of rounds!

 

[Charles Martel]

It was very close after 10 rounds, but Pavlik's better stamina enabled him to clearly win the last two rounds.

I thought it was 116-112 or 115-113.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

It's OK Liverlips...I will continue to report what I see. Starting of the 10th round, I have it 5 rounds to 4 for Taylor...Kelly is starting to land some decent shots and Taylor is slowing down.

 

[Liverlips]

I will truly enjoy the replay on HBO next week before Wlad-Ibragimov. The whole world will get to see boxing's best heavyweight and best middleweight on the same night. On April 19, the world will also see the world's best light heavyweight -- Joe Calzaghe -- beat Bernard Hopkins the racist.

2 WHITE, 2 STRONG.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

After the 10th round it is if Taylor just shut down. He is still throwing but Pavlik is starting to control the ring and back him down. Even fight on my card.

 

[Hockaday]

I was worried about this one. It seemed the rematch came so soon, and that can favor the guy wanting to even the score. He's more hungry, while the winner might be tempted to take it easy and be turned aside by the distractions of success. You just don't know what's going on behind the scenes. But Kelly kept his head on straight. That's what I appreciate most about this kid.

 

[mrjohnnynofear]

Taylor was hurt at the end of the 11th, scored for Pavlik. 12th was close but Pavlik has more of the aggression. I have it 7 rounds to 5 round Pavlik. Sounds like the scores were about right. Congrats to Pavlik for another win!!!

...Credit to Taylor for fighting a fair, spirited, clean fight but this night belongs to Pavlik. They say that Tito is next in the wings for Kelly and the rumor of "King" Arthur Abraham coming to America to fight is getting louder. Only time will tell. Great job, Kelly!
