I had it 116-112 for Pavlik. Jermain definitly had a chance to win thou, he was just to gassed.
I don't think Merchant was nut-hugging to much, I think he felt he had to equal out the playing feild cause Manny kept talking about Jermaine. Although it did seems Merchant came off rude once ot twice about it.

I think Taylor did a hell of a job and was more poised and elusive than last time, but he didn't do enough to overwhelm the judges. However, only one judge saw the fight accurately (Jarman; 115-113), the two other judges scored a lopsided fight, which was not the case. It was very close and I felt like 3 rounds could've legitimately gone either way. Pavlik fought smart and, with the exception of a few flurries, was never backed up or in trouble. Plus, since he was the winner by TKO the first time, the burden was on Taylor to put pressure and prove something, and he did not do enough to execute that. It was a great fight and I enjoyed it because you really weren't sure who won until they read the scorecards.
