Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham... Who wins?

[Mike Tyson77]

This could be one of the greatest MW title fights of our time.

Lol my basis for what I said was to prove my point that AA only has a punchers chance. Kelly is far superior in constant pressure, movement, jab, straight accurate punches, reach, height, power etc. etc. Everyone doubted KP in the Miranda fight, everyone doubted him in the JT fight and then the rematch. AA has NEVER faced off against a Kelly Pavlik before. I'll let Kelly tell you guys the rest of the story when they meet and it ends when Kelly KO's him in the 9th. I just don't see AA having anything more than a punchers chance.

Abraham has more than a punchers chance. He has the style to beat PAv, and vice versa. Pav has not faced a guy who can punch hard with either hand. Same as Abraham. It will come down to skills. PAv with his relentless attack, and AA with his superior defense. Defense wins championships. AA late rounds ko.

You think Kelly has the faster hands?

I think you're crazy.

I'm not knocking AA here guys, he is one hell of a puncher with alot of heart and I admire that - but that's where it ends. Kelly is all that and much more.

This isn't football here sir. Defense loses the game in this scenario.

Did u see the Kingsley Ikeke fight? Kingsley is 6 4 and never been out. Arthur destroyed him.

People don't rememebr that fight. That fight put him on the map for me.
I mean he destroyed ikeke. I was a believer then, and still a believer. This is going to be a special fight with Pav

[PBDS]

....I agree that this fight should happen asap, and I also think that Abraham is an extremely tough fight for Pavlik. Still, I have Kelly winning by KO late.

Abrahams power is remarkable but your all jumping the gun... He knocked out edison miranda who is deffinantly a tough fighter, but at this point thats really all he is.. a tough fighter. Theres alot more to boxing then power, and im not saying Abraham is one dimensional but to say that Abraham is going to KO KELLY PAVLIK based on this performance tonight doesnt do it for me.

I give the chin edge to AA. I give the defense edge to AA. Both have different kinds of power and you can give the straight punching and work rate to Pavlik.

You can think he'll win, that's fine... but if you don't think AA is a word class fighter and Pavlik is somehow light-years ahead of him you're nuts.

Pavlik wins what would be a good scrap. He's got a higher workrate than Miranda, and will put together better combinations when Abraham puts on the earmuffs waiting for a chance to counter.

I'm not saying anything about AA other than he will lose and lose because of the reasons I stated. Take from that what you will.
