Will It Be Holmes vs. Cooney All Over Again?

[Addison]

When a scribe asked Kelly Pavlik if he had a plan B or C Pavlik lowered his head, then his eyes, and averted onto the relative subject of overall gameplans and how this would be different than the Miranda fight.

He ducked the question. Either that or he has no answer.

And he has no plan B or C.



Pavlik is a solid technician, a menacing forward moving presence, and a powerful puncher. But what else is he?

Tonight, we find out.

Episode I

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..

Similarity #31

I wouldn't say that Pavlik and Cooney have the same IQ but they have highly comparable reasoning skills.

when this fight was first bought up ...that my first impression. But I would muc rather apply cooney vs holmes to mayweather vs hatton. Kelly can fight and can take a punch. Although I think he will do very well in this fight , he will still get beat.

If we compare this to Hatton vs. Mayweather we're doing that almost solely based on the race factor I guess.


Hatton is not the puncher.

Hatton has not just hit the surface off of similarly fearsome opponents like Norton and Miranda.

Hatton is not American (which would likely brew the race factor in the US more if he were a citizen).

Hatton has already prevailed on the big stage.

Hatton talks funny.

Has Taylor got a plan B or C is the question? Taylor hardly has a plan A

That's an important question.


However, we do know Taylor is athletic, physically strong, and capable of surviving Hopkins, Wright, Ouma, and Spinks. He's seen about every possible way someone could stab him with a dagger. That, we do know.

Pavlik has never even played black jack with competition at that level.

Awwww..

I shouldn't take off the gloves here.

This is too much for the peanut gallery.

Ben is one of my idols - this was a truly beautiful performance vocally and visually
