Abraham Destroys Miranda…How Long Until Kelly Pavlik?

[Boofdatruth]

Agreed, but Pavlik himself only has Taylor as a better win than Miranda so the two of them are hardly that far apart. The fight is seen as big for the simple reason that basically MW was crying out for someone to step up as a big threat to Pavlik, and Abraham managed an incredible performance on his American debut to emerge as exactly that. Miranda may not actually be that good, but the manner of the victory was awesome.

However...I'm not sure we will see this fight as quickly as some boxing fans might like. When the post-fight excitement dies down we will see that Abraham has not catapulted himself into the hearts of the American public, all of whom will be beating down pavliks door to make the fight, he will still, basically be unknown.

For such a risky fight, which will probably be Kelly's defining fight at MW, I'm sure Arum will want both Pavlik and Miranda to be more well known, so I think we'll see both of them fight a couple of opponents first, and at least once on the same card. Boxing promoters aren't ******.

I hope I'm wrong though and that we see the fight as soon as possible.
