former undisputed middleweight world champion kelly pavlik has recently said he definitely wants to fight andre ward and that his manger is currently hammering out the terms for the purse split which seems to be the only stumbling block in making the fight happen somewhere january or february of 2013. pavlik is the former undisputed (The Ring, WBO & WBC) middleweight champion, and at this point in his career, he shouldn't have to take too short of money. hopefully they will pay the guy a fair purse, and we can get this fight done.
pavlik, 30 yrs old, has a killer right straight coupled with an aggressive style and an iron chin that puts paying customers at the edge of their seats. he's had 4 fights at 168 and won all of 'em, 2 by TKO.
as for ward, many boxing pundits have him as the most complete boxer today and has not lost a fight since he was 12 years old (the dude started in the amateurs at 10 yrs of age).
if the fight gets made, i think ward's quick movement and speed would prove to be too much for the pavlik and might see a replay of the martinez-pavlik fight. i have ward winning by UD.
your thoughts?
i think alot of fans like Pavlik so they really dont want to see this fight. Pavlik will get hurt if he fights Ward. At this stage in his career this would be a terrible decision as this would be the last big fight in his career.
