the best boxing match in the last 10 years

Pavlik is a huge puncher.
He can hurt you from any range, outside or inside (very good short compact punches for such a long armed guy).

But... he will be beat by a slick boxer. Taylor willfully went to the ropes and counter punched very effectively until the 7th round and the lights went out. It was really a stupid strategy. Taylor was way too bold with this guy.

Taylor was so much faster but he is so flat footed. If Taylor had fought Pavlik like he fought B-hop, he would have won on a decision. But for some strange reason he thought he could out punch Pavlik.

Pavlik getting up after the beating he took in the 2nd round was amazing. Taylor should have put him away but he tired. Stamina issues also for Taylor.

But it was a hugely entertaining fight.
