[-Hyperion-]

I don't think so, buddy.

mora is a ****ing twat. i wouldn't mind him fighting pavlik just so i could see him get ko'd

[EliteSoldier]

**** mora, he just wants pavlik for an easy payday. Hell I bet you pavlik wouldn't even have to ko mora, because mora would pull a fast one and fake a knockdown

[deuce_drop]

mora is just trying to throw his hat in the ring and call out the new champ. nothing more. the fact of the matter is that he is just trying to hype himself.

he's way out of his league though. the first thing you need to keep pavlik off of you is power and mora hasn't got any power to keep pavlik off him. pavlik would just walk him down. the only thing that i see is that mora would give pavlik some trouble in the first few rounds with his hand speed and his footwork, but the constant pressure and the non stop punches would slow mora down and wear him out until pavlik landed a big bomb followed by an on onslaught of crushing blows until mora was unable to continue, because i can say that i truly believe that if pavlik were to beat mora like he has all of his other opponents, mora wouldn't make the count unless he got dropped by a falash knock down, other than that if he goes down from a pavlik beating he will not i repeat will not get back up, because he will want no more.

i say that if pavlik fights mora, mora would be in there surviving, running and pot shotting until the 6th-7th round and then he gets detonated by pavliks ability to close the show in stunning fashion.

how the hell does mora think or expect to keep pavlik off him when he can't hurt any of his opponents. it's all just **** talk to try land a money fight.................

he backed out of the taylor fight, didn't fight ouma, who has he fought anyways? and now he wants to fight the top dog, the guy that closes out 90%-95% of his opponents by ko? mora with his feather fists wants to fight the guy that is basically the steam roller in boxing right now and mora wants to try and keep the steam roller off with his pitter patter punches, what a joke.

In a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Sergio Mora (19-0-1, 4 KOs), who won the first season of The Contender reality show, said that he possesses the tools to beat current WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (32-0, 29KOs). Mora is even willing to fight Pavlik in his hometown of Ohio. [details]

Mora forgot to mention that he is not hard to hit. Pavlik will hit him just as easily as his previous opponents who lacked Pavlik's firepower.

[Ray Ray]

Mora is wanting to fight Pavlik. Yeah right, and my dog can fly planes and **** models while smoking a big ass blunt.

Mora please shut the **** up. You ducked Jermaine Taylor and now we are suppose to believe you want to fight Pavlik.

That wasnt slugging, the sweet science is using angles, defense, footwork and handspeed to hit and not be hit.

I don't think so, buddy.

Your calling prime mike tyson a slugger?

Your calling prime mike tyson a slugger?

I guess we have to go the long way.

Slugging, eazy, is when a fighter throws powerpunches in succession, do you agree with that?

And that's what Tyson was, a very sharp, swarming and slugging fighter who at the same time had great defense and was hard to hit.
In fact, probably the pinnacle of sweet science is to go toe-to-toe and slug it out with an opponent(and hopefully knock nim out) without getting hit, using whatever skills you got.
