With "The Epic Battle Continues" between warriors Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor only a few days away comes the time for the boxing diva to make another educated prediction. This highly anticipated rematch is going to be one for the record books for sure.

By now, we all know the result of the first fight between these great boxers. Will history repeat itself or will history be made on Saturday night? This is definitely a tough fight to call.
Visiting boxing websites for some enlightenment on the pulse of what this fight might be like, I can see there is a clear favorite among boxing scribes and fans. I'm not sure this is a productive view or not but it does help shape my own opinion.

Acknowledging, from inside the Taylor camp that Jermain is strong, focused, and ready for this rematch and that he looks better than ever. I definitely feel Jermain can beat Kelly. However, the question of will he beat Kelly is a tough one to answer.

Jermain wants respect. Kelly wants glory. Both fighters have done big things for the sport of fisticuffs and will definitely continue to do. May the best boxer win. Good luck to both Kelly and Jermain.

My prediction for this fight: Kelly Pavlik will win by KO in the early rounds.
