Arthur Abraham-Elvin Ayala Set For March 29

[MELLY-MEL...]

But let's remember that Winky turned him down (does that count as a "duck?" naaah).

Taylor and Pavlik are fighting each other. Duddy wouldn't go near him. Steward is not trying to put Lee against Abraham. Even Sergio Mora probably would turn down those Euros. So it's not like he has many options.

nah, if he came here people would fight him. he is nothing ultra special, or so great for anyone to fear. no one wants to go there and get robbed!

[MELLY-MEL...]

Oh I'd still pick him to beat Pavlik. I'd bet good money on that

yeah judging by his gift against miranda, and than miranda got destroyed by pav. good, if it happens i will take that bet with you!

Out of all middleweights I think Abraham can give Pavlik the toughest fight, but I dont think Arthur would be able to beat the animal in Kelly Pavlik. I dont even think Abraham can beat Jermain Taylor, hell he barely got past Miranda but credit to him with a broken jaw. I dont think anyone at 160 lbs can beat Kelly Pavlik, but once he moves up to 168 he will lose to the top 5 fighters there. Calzaghe, Bute, Kessler, Mundine, Inkin.

Why do they fight Ayala?? This is verry poor!! Im a big fan of Abraham but how can his management not get a better opponent for him?

[Tobi.G]

this arthur is a joke for fighting these bums. he'l prob go 20 defences undefeated.

You cant blame Abraham on this but you can blame his manager. But im shure better opponents will come in the future.

Good point. But still...

Abraham has said he will fight Pavlik in 2008, this is simply an easy tune up fight like the ones before really. Abraham is willing to make the trip to the U.S. so lets hold our judgment, the Pavlik fight is his big plan for this year.

Inkin Top5 supermiddle?? Are you kidding? I would pik Miranda to beat him. I would also pick Miranda to beat Mundine.

But i hope both sides will come to an agreement!

well, i think taylor is the toughest fight at mw for pavlik! not arthur! i also think he can hold his own and possibly beat most of the smw's minus kessler, and joe of course! i am not sold on bute, and think kelly can beat him!
