Kelly Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham... Who wins?

[Thunder Lips]

I would favor Pavlik by decision at this stage. Abraham is very tight defensively but his shell style will let Kelly go to work too much and possibly pick off some very good shots. I see Pavlik winning many rounds by just jabbing and ****ing at his guard while Abraham waits.

For all those who think AA might have trouble with smb's hight at middleweight.

[RAESAAD]

Pavlik by UD, but wouldn't be suprised if either guy won.

[MANGLER]

Pavlik TKO on accumulated punishment.

good question.. i can't say... but hell yes do i want to see it.. anytime you can get quality vs. quality in today's boxing ring, its a good thing

[J_CON]

Abrahams style isn't good against Pavlik. The short spurts wont work against Pavliks high workrate. THe shell like defence isnt good either. Pavlik can punch around it with his accuracy and through it with his power. I can see him knock Arthurs right hand away with a double jab then through the cross down the middle to hurt Abraham

When will you kids learn? Pavlik is NOT knocking AA out.

Abraham will be the betting favorite, because oddsmakers aren't ignorant like you kids.

If Miranda can break AAs jaw like that. Pavlik can knock his head clean off.

Good reasoning . . .

Cracking a jawbone is a freak event.

[Easy-E]

A great matchup, Pavlik has very good power and throws punches in bunches, while Abraham prefers to stay in his guard and throw one punch at a time. I would make for a very exciting fight, and I would lean towards Pavlik, but Abraham has an excellent chin and the ability to hurt Pavlik.
Should be very interesting.
