I been on the forum on and off most of the day and i can say that i been hearing a lot of people say that Pavlik will ko P will and all that other stuff but i have a different view.
I think that P will will feel very comfortable at this weight being that he once replenished to 164 at one time in a fight with being said. imma keep it brief
Power: In this department a lot of people give it to kelly but P Will mostly gets his knockouts off by overwhelming opponents but showed he has a right hand in his last fight. Pavlik has better ko percentage though
Jabs: i think that this fight will be a battle of jabs most of all. P Will has a tendecy to throw his jab and so does pavlik.but i will give the edge to pavlik being that he shoot hard straight jabs for the most.
Speed: P Will has to be the favorite in this department...he throws all kind of punches from different angles and is capable of throwing 100 punches per round (seeing if the weight class is a problem) ...While Pavlik shoot basically straight punches throught the middle and occasional hooks to the body
Defense: This would have to go to pavlik being that he keeps his hands high picking of shots...while P Will has shown in many fights he can be overwhelmed with shotS(Marg, Cintron 1st fight).
Chin: Lastly neither fighter has been knocked out but both have been stunned at times. But in most of their fights these two have shown they can take punishment without ever being knocked out. Even
My Take: P Will by decision by throwing to many punches in this fight and maybe even hurting pavilk at times..with pavlik also having his share of rounds..7-5 p will
It is a bold prediction,but if Paul wins,you will look very good:boxing:
Agreed.
I think Paul is going to be effected by the extra weight. I don't think he'll be able to keep up his punch rate because of it, and the effect of Pavliks harder punches. I just keep remembering the last few rounds of his fight with Margarito and can't help thinking whats gonna happen when he's in there with a bigger stronger puncher? On the flip side, maybe he was weight drained and thats why he faded down the stretch. Maybe He'll be stronger at this weight and have more left in the tank down the stretch. If I were going to bet though, it would be on Pavlik by b8th or 9th round stoppage. If Williams does lose, I hope he makes a decent showing and then goes back to 147 and tries to unify. He's got a helluva chance to do it.
That prediction could happen because Williams could carry that weight well. I mean his frame is right for it too work. He may have better skills than Pavlik, but really so did Taylor, probably by a wider margin than Williams does and we know how those two fights went. I just think the power of Pavlik is gonna be the key factor in the end.
kelly pavlik has elite power- if margarito got to williams down the stretch like he did just out of power and will- i think i have plenty of reason to believe pavlik is going to get paul hurt somewhere mid to late -and he'll finish it.
i honestly don't think williams has ever faced someone who can bang like pavlik- and i think it will be the difference maker
Logic says Pavlik due to strenght advantage, but i always believe skills pay the bills, and paul has alot more, his angles & speed will edge him the fight.
also The Punisher and his trainer (george peterson) have gone seriously out of there way to make this unrealistic fight, maybe they see/know something we dont?
A lot more? You might have an argument for marginally better, but a lot more, I think you're reaching a bit.
