i have gone back an forth with this fight in my head many times, but i think i got it.
first to all those who think williams will not be able to have that huge workrate of his because of the wieght, you are wrong, he has come in at 160 on many occasions, and still throws 110 punches a round.
the questions in this fight arnt answerd, so its a hard one to predict,
1) can williams chin hold up to a huge 160lbs hitter
2) does paul have enough power in his punches at 160 to get pavliks respect
those two questions need to be answerd, and will be on fight night. williams showedd his power at WW, but does he have enough power to get pavliks respect or possibly hurt him, thats a big question, because if he doesnt pavlik will run right to him.
i know for a fact that at one point in the fight paul will NEED to stand in fight pavlik, because paul is fast, but not that fast, and a tall pressure fighter like pavlik is hard to simply outbox for the whole figh (bhop did it, but paul isnt as fast, or as good a boxer as bhop). so paul will take punches, how will he react?
i see a war, with paul winning the early rounds, then war breaks out with pavlik landing hard.
i dont know exactly who will win, there's to many questions that havent been answerd.
discuss some of your fight anyalisis
better question:
can pwill improve his defense to avoid big punches.
pwill ain't knocking out pavlik and he doesn't have the power to get pavlik's respect. pavlik has been in with bigger punches.
He will have Pavlik on the defensive all night...covering up getting bombed on.
He ain't got enough power at 160 to earn Pavlik's respect. Kelly's gonna keep on coming.
Paul's offence is his defense, but if he can't hurt Kelly through accumulation, then he's gonna get tagged through the middle by Pav's straighter punches.
pavliks one of my favs i just think this is the wrong fight for him ..williams moves way 2 much for my man kelly ..they say kellys got the power but i dnt see him landing anything ..like the hopkins fight
Paul is no defensive master he's there to be hit.

That's 1 hellova avatar u got there dawg!!I actually think the Punisher is stronger above 147!!His 2 recent fights at 160 involved Andy Cole getting steamrolled & the great Winky getting abused for 12 rounds straight!!Right now I believe the Punisher has gotten better since the 1st Quintana fight & Pavlik has not been the same since B-Hop!!Pavlik only fights 1 way,that's coming forward throwing with both hands!!The Punisher has too much angles & output for Pavlik to handle,I don't think Pavlik is going to handle the workrate & movement of Paul to well!!:boxing::boxing:
