How did Kelly Pavlik beat Jermain Taylor?

Question

They had a fight yesterday in boxing but how did Pavlik beat Taylor??? Was Taylor robbed? Did they take the decision away from Taylor?

Answer 1

No it was a fair decision. Pavlik won fair and square. Taylor had the more effective punches earlier in the fight but Pavlik was busier and kept up the aggressiveness throughout the fight backing up Taylor. Also he hurt Taylor with a body punch late in the fight. Taylor fought well, he had a high connect percentage but only threw about half of the punches Pavlik did in most rounds. Taylor did well by avoiding Pavlik's power but didn't do enough to win the fight.

Answer 2

Punches thrown:

Pavlik - 845 Taylor - 456

Punches connected:

Pavlik - 267 Taylor - 178

Still surprised at the outcome?

Answer 3

it was a good fight but Pavlik was the obvious winner.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I just came back from Vegas and saw the fight in person. Both men gained HUGE amounts of respect from other boxers and fans alike. Taylor isn't complaining and I and most of the people I was with had it even going into the 11th round and Pavlik turned it up just enough to win the dec. The bodyshot in the 11th that Pavlik landed would have dropped most middleweights, and the right hands Taylor landed through the fight would have done the same. It was an exciting fight and fought almost like a chessmatch. Only problem I had was the judge who scored 117 - 111. I had it 115 - 113. No robbery but a great fight!

Answer 8

Pavlik clearly won.  It just seems like Taylor could'nt open up,  probably because Pavlik hits hard.

Answer 9
