i was going to make this thread, and give my opinion, but then, a) i'm white, and b) i live 1/2 mile from the youngstown city limits.

you could guess who i think is going to win.

i know probably 10 separate people going to atlantic city this weekend, which means the crowd will be way in favor of pavlik, because half the city of youngstown will be flying in on friday..plus, taylor's fans haven't had too much to be excited over the last few fights. youngstown fans are hungry from any kid of champion ever since the days of boom boom mancini..my grandpa still tells the story of watching him fight at a local high school football stadium..

pavlik WILL be coming forward throwing big, hard, straight punches, and the fight will bend on whether jermain can counter that...

my only choice right now is when to bet...will pavlik's price go up, or down?

p.s. ignore the white comment. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you wanted us to ignore the "white comment" you could have deleted it instead of writing "ignore the white comment."

[/ QUOTE ] I'm a huge Jermain Taylor fan. I've watched A LOT of his fights. While he didn't look impressive against Ouma, Wright and Spinx, all of those fighters are awkward. Keep in mind how many times he teed off on Ouma even though Ouma who kept coming forward. Ouma has the BIGGEST HEART out of all the boxers and people in general. Ouma had to fight in a war when he was 6. Ouma is not the type of person that goes down EASY in a fight. So who has Pavlik fought? I see Pavlik as a "Great White Hope."(in response to your comment and this is not to be offensive). Whose the top person on Pavliks resume? Edison Miranda? Please. Edison wouldn't last a second against Jermain. However, I wouldn't totally discredit an undefeated fighter like Kelly Pavlik who did look good. I just won't bet to much on this fight,lol. I'm going for Jermaine straight up.
