do you guys ever get annoyed by the fact if a boxer loses say 2-4 times their considered washed up? but say in mma they can lose a handful of times and still be considered a great.
So finally someone muffled Jermain’s bad intentions snickers. I honestly thought he should’ve lost the belt to Hopkins or Wright(first fight), but ah well. Hopefully he’ll bounce back and we’ll see a new and improved Taylor.
Yeah I wonder why people do that. I don’t see any problems losing to a good fighter. Taylor isn’t going to be let off easy since he’s already getting hate before the match.
lol i see kelly as more an ippo. hardworking fam, first 14 fights ko…lol better than ippo’s record haha.
I went to the Chad Dawson fight and of course it was a “Showcase” of him. I just woke up to read the results of this fight and my wife told me who win…YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!! I’M FUCKING HYPED RIGHT NOW! In my heart I wanted Pavlik to win, but i couldn’t bet against the man that beat Hopkins twice ( though close fights). Makes me wanna goto the gym and “THROW 5,000 JABS!” lol
Ay yo Biolink and MAGUS1234 and others, how was the fight?
Next up, Pacquiao vs. Barerra II
i thought it was pretty obvious pavlik would win. i was suprised when i heard taylor had him down in rnd 2 so i guess taylor was a lot better than i thought.
The fight was aight for the most part.
I didn’t think it was obvious of who would win.They were even for the most part Jermaine up to that point had landed the bigger punches of the fight,but Jermaine got caught with a shot that he didn’t see until it was too late.
There was a rematch clause,so expect this fight again maybe around January I would s’pose.
OMG the fight wsa nuts IMHO.
Man Im sad for my boy taylor, but Pavlik got the heart of a true champ. I can’t wait for the rematch! Lets do it again!!
why should there be a rematch? Taylor finally fights a legit contender and gets owned. There’s no need to spend 1.5 years fighting over the belt.
anyhow I liked this fight because of the styles, with Pavlik’s forward approach either Taylor would run or fight, thankfully he stubbornly chose to fight and got owned. Pavlik’s got heart for days. Him and Miranda. great to see good fighters coming out of middleweight again. Let’s see Abraham vs. Pavlik.
damn pavlik has a chin! good thing steve smoger didnt stop the fight.
So after the rematch (most likely) with Taylor, is Pavlik ready for B. Hop? B. Hop beat Taylor in both matches in my eyes. I can see the judges giving the first match to Taylor becuase he dominated the first half of the fight. The second fight was clearly B. Hop’s though. Landed more punches, threw more and had more power punches. Judges robbed his ass.
hopkins has his sights on fighting calzaghe at the moment, so im not sure that pavlik is in the picture.
Hopkins left the middleweight division after being dethroned by Jermain Taylor. Hopkins is one of the few fighters that is in tremendous shape all year long (Muslim, vegetarian), but he cannot make middleweight weight at his age and he is a light heavyweight now, but he can make super middle ( if the money is right). I don’t think Pavlik is a big enough name for Hopkins. Would be a interesting fight though.
Pavlik is going to stay at middleweight and his options are besides a rematch with Taylor; fight the other Euro champions in Arthur Abraham (23-0) which is a tough fight and he’ll have to fight in Germany probably ( most Euro fighters don’t travel to the US to fight), or Felix Sturm (28-2) ( Felix Sturm was robbed of a win against de la Hoya, Pavlik could beat Strum). Maybe Winky Wright…
Maybe some of the super welterweight guys can come up to fight Pavlik: Vernon Forrest, Roman Karmazin, Ike Quartey, just not Cory Spinks.
someone in the other thread asked what kind of workouts i did so.
my coach does a lot of things to work on. you’re gonna have to go to a class to see all of them.
3 rounds of shadow boxing. however many rounds on the bag my coach wants, then spar vs opponents. usually rotating doing about 6 or 9 rounds total.
i do about 10 different forms of crunches, + leglifts.
and before all of that 3 laps around the building sidewalk.

Load that in Winamp. Quality is very bad though, and it buffers a lot. Eh.
If anyone has a sopcast link, please share!
Edit: This sopcast might work, having trouble connecting to it though: sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/28233
Edit2: Sopcast works! Way better than the Winamp feed.
You rock. Thanks!
Not to pleased with how this is going, Barrera is stealing this fight =/
