I haven't heard that before. That is all they spoke about prior to their first fight. Isolation in the Poconos, rededicated, wants to silence the critics.

The fact that this rematch is at a catch weight speaks volumes to Jermaine's dedication.

Pavlik brings it early and often and wins via KO/TKO earlier than he did in the first fight.

That sounds good. The word from the Pavlik camp is that Pavlik's also benefiting from the extra weight: his punches are quicker and more powerful.

Should be one hell of a match assuming that Jermain has psychologically recovered from the KO.

Lampley will just be droolilng allover JT's nuts...something that makes eva angelina jealous.

After Round 2 JT's death sentence begins.

JT will be put to sleep in the 8th.

From there KP will knockout every white fighter in the world.

All Kelly needs is 6 months of takedown defense and he can be UFC+WEC+ELITE XC champ all in the same year!

Thats all.

I'm going to go out on a limb and claim it'll happen SOONER in the fight... probably late 4th rd.

Wow I guess I'm the only one who will pick Taylor. I used to be a fan of his but was glad to see him get ktfo, I think it might stir him up. Either way it will be entertaining cz Pavlik makes it a "fight" everytime.

i just think pavlik will benefit from the weight he is a huge 160 guy and a pretty solid 168 guy; i think taylor is gonna have prob, because pavlik is a stronger guy and a bit sturdier, taylor won't be able to lean on him or muscle him and he can't trade w/him.

taylor can only hope to outbox him but jermain has shown to be a bit a) lazy and b)undisciplined in his tech; an against a guy w/pavliks power u just can't be that careless.

You know... I am going to go out on the limb and say Taylor takes this. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Taylor fan at all. Plus, I don't have any conclusive evidence to support my claim other than the fact that their first fight was pretty close and Taylor did put Pavlik down in the 2nd. It's just more of a feeling.

Well it isnt out of the realm of possibility like some are claiming. Taylor does carry a distinct speed advantage.
