Jermain Taylor Vs Kelly Pavlik

One of the Best Cards the Year: Pavlik-Taylor, Berto-Estrada

World Middleweight Champion Jermain Taylor has been enjoying the peace and quiet he's finding in the mountains of Pennsylvania, where he's training for his September 29th title defense against Kelly Pavlik at Borardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Jermain Taylor (27-0-1, 17 KOs) of Little Rock, Ark., is one the sport’s most accomplished stars. Two years ago he upset reigning middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins to take his place atop the 160-pound division. Kelly Pavlik (31-0, 28 KOs) of Youngstown, Ohio, is a fast-rising power puncher who is hoping to replace Taylor as the division’s top act.

Taylor has been training in the Pocono Mountain resort that trainer Emanuel Steward has used to prepare so many fighters. Taylor has trained for many of his fights in Miami, Florida and recently Memphis, Tennessee which is only a few hours from his home in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Jermain has been taking it on the chin in the press lately. Admittedly he has not looked good in his recent performances, although this has not really been fair to Taylor. The men he has fought, Bernard Hopkins (twice), Winky Wright, Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks are awkward, talented guys who are difficult to look good against even under the best circumstances.

Despite all the criticism, Taylor has walked the path of a true champion in facing the best opponents available.

The experience and confidence gained from facing the better opposition, an excellent and secluded training camp, and what he feels is a strength advantage based off of his amateur win over Pavlik, are elements seemingly in his favor.

Kelly Pavlik who was in a brutal slugfest with Edison Miranda on May 19th in Memphis, has earned a shot at Jermain's title. It's the type of fight Taylor hopes he'll get when the two face off in Atlantic City on September 29th.

Pavlik is seemingly the fan favorite in this match up and is currently even up, or nearly even, in the betting odds department on several wagering sites. That’s quite a statement, for a fighter who has a lower quality of opposition as a pro, and an amateur loss to Taylor. Fans tend to love the puncher, especially a young, hungry one, who doesn’t back up, and has shown no sign of intimidation. Pavlik’s determination and focus is what guarantees boxing fans a memorable evening regardless of the result.

A Welterweight sub plot has formed with Andre Berto vs David Estrada, a 12 round bout for the NABF Welterweight title, and Carlos Quintana is making his Welterweight return vs Christopher Henry in a 10 round fight.

Jermain Taylor may still be the pride of Little Rock, Arkansas, but he now heads home a defeated fighter for the first time in his professional career. The anguish on Taylor’s face expressed the pain and sadness of a dethroned champion, yet he vows to return and win his belts back.
