Pavlik-Abraham to happen in Oct.-Nov.

still a toss-up at this stage... i will lay my prediction on the weigh-in..

Wrong...Pavlik has a much higher workrate than Abraham. I can see Pavlik outworking Abraham and leading on the scorecards until he gets badly hurt and KO'd by Abraham's explosive power punches. Man u must be krazy Abraham will pressure him at a fast pace the whole fight until he kos Pavlik .Pavlik slows down and doesnt throw as much in the late rounds anyways King Arthur is the truth and hes gona prove it just wait and see!!!

Posted Mar. 23, 2009 at 03:26pm By Michael RosenthalBuzz up! The middleweight fight hardcore fans have been craving could happen in October or November. Bob Arum, Kelly Pavlik’s promoter, said THE RING 160-pound champion and No. 2 Arthur Abraham have agreed in principal to fight – probably in New York – if they win interim fights this summer. Pavlik faces Sergio Mora in June; Abraham is expected to fight sometime after that. The Pavlik-Abraham fight will not be televised on pay per view because of Abraham’s limited following in the United States. “I wouldn’t do it on pay per view,” Arum said. “But both networks, HBO and Showtime, have shown enormous interest in that fight. So we believe there’ll be enough money to make it worthwhile. “Talks are going on right now. It’s going to happen. Kelly has definitely signed off on it, and Abraham wants it too.” Pavlik (35-1, 31 knockouts) is only one fight removed from his one-sided loss to Bernard Hopkins in October. He subsequently stopped Marco Antonio Rubio in nine rounds last month. Abraham (29-0, 23 KOs) is a dangerous opponent for Pavlik. The Armenian-born German seems to be a complete fighter but would be fighting in the U.S. for only the second and outside Germany for only the third time. “He’s ready,” Arum said of Pavlik. “We make fights when they’re ready; we make fights when they’re competitive. He lost to Hopkins so we got him a confidence builder (in Rubio). Now, there’s no one other than Mora with a name, an accomplished fighter. So he’ll fight Abraham if he’s successful (in June). … “It’s a good fight, a competitive fight . It doesn’t scare me. It’s a fight we want to win, we hope to win. If we lose, we lose. There’s not a … death sentence in losing. Only in the stupid evolution in this sport did it become a crisis if a guy loses.” Abraham is coming off a one-sided decision over Lujuan Simon on March 14 in Germany, his ninth successful defense of his IBF belt. He said he would move up to super middleweight after the Pavlik fight. http://www.ringtv.com/blog/473/pavlikabraham_to_happen_in_octnov/ Abraham does not seem to be a complete fighter. He creates offense out of his clamshell D too much to fight a guy like Pavlik. His best chance would be to catch Pavlik early, glad this fight will happen.

Thats true. There is no way Abraham is busier than Pavlik. He fights maybe 30 seconds a round. If he is healthy and not weight drained I think he will knock Pavlik out late, Yeah, so everyone says. I can't see it myself. Then again I do hate Arthur because I am a racist cunt.

I'll believe it when it happens.

LOL. Abraham is busier than Pavlik? You're not serious are you? Thats true. There is no way Abraham is busier than Pavlik. He fights maybe 30 seconds a round. If he is healthy and not weight drained I think he will knock Pavlik out late,

:unitedsta:usa: :boxing:.................

OMG thank you... please make this fight happen.... they will Battle!!! it'll be a war, I got Pavlik on this one probably by UD because Abraham has a great chin

I won't celebrate until the fight actually gets signed but it's good news for now.

This is wonderful news....Abraham will AN-NI-HI-LATE the Hoax, I can't wait to see the expression on Loew face when he realizes that the jab, jab, right hand will not work on yet another elite fighter. The Hoax can no longer duck his destiny...another defeat...and this time this defeat will cost him his titles. Once he loses, he done with boxing because he's too scared to move up weight because Dirrel, Ward, Karosly, Bute, and Kessler await him with open arms.

I got Abraham he is stronger ,solid chin,aint scare to trade just like Pavlik .And he is busier than Pavlik!!! Abraham7rd ko!!

Man i really really hope this happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sounds great so far the king by ko in the 10th
