People who had Abraham beating Pavlik before last night?

Dirrell beats 'em both.

Pavlik may not have the movement, but he throws even more. He is even more heavy handed and has a much better chin. He is much easier to hit though.

Ok, Pavlik is a slick, fast fighter, with lots of movement right? Nobody is saying that. It's just that Abraham relies on his power to bail him out of every fight and I don't know if he'd be able to do that with Pavlik. I know Pavlik isn't hard to hit. But his offense could probably be his defense and keep Abraham in that shell. Before last night, I would've easily favored Abraham over Pavlik. Now, I'm not so sure. But Kelly still looks like a bitch for not fighting him regardless.

I agree that Dirrel fights nothing like Pavlik. But every fight that Abraham is in it seems like he needs his punching power to bail him out and it costed him last night. Wonder if Pavlik is gonna talk any shit about this fight.

Pavlik edges it

depends what weight they fought, if it was at 160 i think pavlik would win

No matter who you thought would win, yesterday's fight should not change your opinion since Dirrell is nothing like Pavlik, completely different style.

Do you still view it that way if they ever fought? I still see no way that Pavlik beats AA.

Styles make fights and Pavlik is not exactly a slick fighter. I think yesterday's fight really dosen't suggest much either way. IMHO, it depends on the weight of the fight with me thinking that Kelly has the slight edge in MW and AA winning at SMW.

Do you still view it that way if they ever fought? yes still view abraham by brutal KO over pavlik in 6 or 7
