Arthur Abraham Wants America - and Kelly Pavlik

[!!Captain]

This fight would be THE fight to watch in 2009. It's got PPV & Las Vegas written all over it.

Man I have been waiting for this fight for too long already. I can’t wait till it ****in happens. I give Pavlik the advantage in height and reach and nothing else. Anyone who doesnt think Arthur can go toe to toe with Pavlik in power has not seen more than 2 AA fights. The guy puts mofos to sleep. Taylor dropped Pavlik and hes not even a power puncher. Pavliks still the man, but if he get caught by AA like he did against Taylor it will be game over. On the other hand AA has great defense and a tough chin, if he survived more than 7 rounds with a broken jaw and miranda hitting him he can take Pavliks shots. But if this goes to dec I see Pavlik taking it by being the more active guy and controlling the tempo of the fight.
By the way for those claiming Miranda was "softened up" by Pavlik: Please don't embarrass yourself.

Go and watch Pavlik-Taylor I again. Kelly dropped his hands to his waist and stuck his chin out to do some showboating, and Jermain immediately caught him with 3-4 flush shots. Lesson learned -- he won't do it again.

Ask Nate Campbell what can happen when you pull a stunt like that. Robbie Peden, anyone??

If it was only that easy my friend.

[Sir Tom Jones]

pavlik and abraham would be great.

[Mr. Philadel]

Arthur Abraham will get by Kelly Pavlik
Pavlik by late KO

[Zocalo]

The Pavlik/AA match will the must see fight of 2009. I hope it is on WCB on HBO like Taylor/Pavik 1 was...

[KingTito]

He's tough, but I don't think he'll beat Pavlik.

[Steel Town USA]

If it was only that easy my friend.

How hard is it to refrain from dropping your hands to your waist, sticking your chin out and wagging your tongue like a dog at the other fighter? Because that's what Kelly did in round two of the first Taylor fight. A near fatal error, but one I don't think he'll be arrogant enough to repeat (especially against a power puncher like AA).

[KingArthur]

Abraham with his power, which I consider P4P as #1, is a very serious opponent for anyone from 160-168.

The guy is for real. I am glad he wants to step up now. He is a monster and he and Pavlik will be in a murderous fight.

Abraham is cagey and smart in the ring. He can be too economical at times which could cost him, but his offensive explosions more than make up for it.

Whomever comes out of their fight the winner, no other opponent will want to touch.

Thats the only problem I see with AA, and I'm a HUGE fan but I still fess up to that problem

[TKO Tom]

Pavlik would beat him.
