Default Re: Jermain Taylor vs. Kell Pavlik 9-29

Right now Arum might be number 2 behind Golden Boy. But back in the 90's early 2000's Arum fighters didn't win as many close decisions as they should have. For instance, DLH vs. Mosley, I definitely thought Mosley won the first fight but the second fight was pretty close. I guess what I am trying to say is that if DLH was promoted by Don King for those fights he would have gotten both decisions.

Don't underestimate DiBella, dude held a powerful position at HBO for many years building up his rolodex, how the hell did he get his fighter to win 2 close decisions against a reigning champ of almost 10 years, although I felt Taylor won both fights, and then get his fighter a draw against Wright who clearly outboxed Taylor and arguably fought tougher than even Taylor expected. The 12th round of the first Hopkins fight was scored very suspiciously.

If Taylor jabs the hell out of Pavlik he wins pretty easily I think, but I don't he will because he is not disciplined enough to do it.
