    Just watched Pavlik vs McKart

    The fight is in the video boxing sections so anybody who doesn't feel to lazy could download it and watch it. The quality is actually pretty good.

    Few observations about the fight:

    Round 1 - All Kelly
    Round 2 - Solid round for McKart (Pavlik was getting hit with more hooks than he's supposed to)
    Round 3 - Close round for Pavlik
    Round 4 -Round for McKart; Pavlik was knocked down; he was fisrt hit to the body with a right hook and then the right hook followed up upstairs where it got Pavlik's head and shoulder blade.
    Round 5 - Big round for Pavlik
    Round 6 - Bronco was knocked down first from what seemed like exhaustion; the second and final time he went down he got hit with a left hook to the temple

    Additional notes:

    - Pavlik is vulnerable in the first few rounds, after that he get more warmed up I guess and he sees the punches much, much better.
    - McKart is a big, strong fighter with a good chin
    - Pavlik's left hook to the body is really good
    - We all know that but still, in a back-and-forth fight Pavlik gets stronger and better by the middle rounds while his opponents go in the other direction
    - Pavlik in his post fight comments looked kind of pissed off about him not getting the recognition saying that guys like Taylor and Abraham were never tested before they got their title shots. He was ademnant about getting a title shot. Lou Dibella was there to scout him too.
    - Bronco said that Pavlik's every punch hurt and he got koed simply cause he absorbed too many of them

    PS: It's a very good scrap but what do u expect, now I'll have to hear about Winky's supporters and about the flaws that Winky could exploit based on that fight. One word, LAUGHABLE.

    Yeah I got that on tape Pavlik seems to have trouble when guys shoe-shine him(punches in bunches) Against Zertuche and Mckart he had trouble when they did that to him. If I was Pavlik I'd be wise and stay away from Calzaghe who would give him more trouble than McKart did. JC is faster,bigger, and hits harder than McKart. Winky Wright on the other hand is more flat-footed and not much head movement and he tends to put the earmuffs on and that allows power shots to land down the middle just like when he fought Taylor. Pavlik is a combination of two guys that gave Winky some trouble. Sam Soliman because of his workrate and Taylor because of his power. Pavlik might not be as active as Soliman(hell,who is) and hits considerably harder than Taylor.

        argubly Pavliks toughest fight of his career. but he still did an excellent job. After watching it, Bronco did not look old and still looked like a game fighter.

        Pavlik is one of those guys..if you cant beat him within the first 4 rounds..ur going to lose. He just punches so hard and so much, and you combine that with his excellent conditioning and good chin, he's one of the toughest ppl to beat.

        Last thing, Bronco was an excellent sport, and very gracious in defeat.

          pavlik is 10 times the fighter he was in that fight now, in fact he has gotten better and better every fight and he was outboxing the master boxer Taylor. I've said it once and i'll sat it again, the ONLY fighter who has a chance against Pavlik is Joe calzaghe.
