Former undefeated boxing champion Jermain Taylor (27-1-1, 17 KO's) is out for revenge against the only man to defeat him, current world middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik (32-0, 29 KO's).

A +160 underdog in the Bodog Sportsbook, Taylor will face Pavlik, the -200 favorite, on Saturday, Feb. 16 in Las Vegas.

"Everybody asks me why I'm doing this again, why I'm taking this fight," Taylor tells FOXSports.com. "I just want to fight him. Let's see if he can do it again. I just want to box. It's all about the fight and I just felt there was no sense in me going out there to fight somebody else when there was a man that I lost to and he's out there running free."

In their first match, Pavlik recovered from a second-round knockdown to TKO Taylor in the seventh. Fighting in a non-title rematch at 166-pounds, Taylor says the bout on Saturday will be different.

"Just expect me to come in the tip top shape of my life," he explains, "Go in there and work all 12 rounds and that's it. And if I get him out this time, you better believe I'll have him from start to finish."
