Pavlik vs Taylor II: This Saturday

The February 16th rematch between Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor will be broadcast by HBO pay-per-view, beginning at 9:00 pm ET/6 pm PT. The fight will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

I might have to get this fight. I like both Taylor and Pavlik, and it should be a pretty good match. East Side Boxing has an interview with Taylor on the upcoming fight, and why he wanted it.

"As Jermain Taylor, 27-1-1 with 17 KOs makes his final preparations for his much anticipated rematch with Kelly Pavlik, 32-0 with 29 KOs the Arkansas fighter insists that his willingness to step back in the ring against a man who knocked him cold in the seventh round of their first go round has more to do with an opportunity lost than mending his perceived shattered ego."
