Jermain Taylor has Bad Intentions for Kelly Pavlik on February 16 when he goes for the WBC Middleweight Title

Probably because Taylor is just itching to have his revenge after Pavlik knocked the daylights out of him the last time they met.

It's on in Las Vegas on February 16 when Jermain ''Bad Intentions'' Taylor looks to reclaim the very title he lost to now World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion of the world, Kelly Pavlik. It's a rematch Taylor was probably looking for after losing his title. Let's hope he doesn't get his ass knocked down this time.

The date was September 29, 2007, when a virtual unknown named Kelly Pavlik shocked the world by coming up with a 7th round knockout over Jermain Taylor to become the new WBC middleweight world champion.

Now that everybody knows the name Kelly Pavlik, boxing fans are probably eager to see whether Pavlik's win over Taylor was just a mere fluke or not.

WBC middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik has a perfect 32-0 record, 29 by way of knock out. Pavlik can bang with both hands and his classic right cross is an equalizer in almost every encounter. The best thing about Kelly Pavlik is that when he is on, he sets up his attack with hard left jabs and the combinations flow off of the basic maneuver.

Often creating opportunities for his right cross, letting him able to close the deal.

''I'm just as hungrier, maybe hungrier, my goal wasn't just to win the title and then that was it. I have a lot more I want to do. I still want to keep getting better,'' WBC middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik said.

Jermain Taylor, on the other hand, is a classic boxer-puncher that controls and eventually dominates his fights with a talented left jab that sets up his combinations and his devastating right cross. Taylor likes to buzz people with his right uppercut in close quarters. He is an exceptionally strong and well-conditioned athlete who maintains his balance and sets up his attack with workman-like lateral movement.
