i had never seen Pavlick fight except in highlights. I like the way he keeps coming with hands up and never panickying. Taylor should have put him away in the 2nd but he wasted punches and got tired. I agree that it was not an accumulation of punches. The jab that got Taylor going was thrown with a brick. Pavlicks hands remind me of Marciano and Duran in his prime. Watch the uppercuts on the replay. That's what put Taylor away.

I saw the fight as well and boy was it a good one. Damn...Pavlik can hit very hard with precision, and Taylor took several remarkable shots before folding like a cheap tent. Pavlik's straight right is one of the best in the business. He really snaps his punches with follow through from those long arms. He hit Taylor with one that straightened him up before the second big one that pushed him in the ropes. It was all surgery after that...

I think it hurt Taylor to get a quick knockout because he seemed too confident the following round and he also got a bit lazy with the left hand guard from time to time. In the end, Taylor didn't finish but Pavlik did. Gotta love that good 'ol Ohio stock :)
