Arthur Abraham vs Kelly Pavlik

[Dan...]

I'm still picking Pavlik to win, styles make fights.

Agreed. If this fight comes off I would still pick Kelly. I can't believe the unwarranted AA hype to be honest.

[The Hammer]

Abraham wins by KO.

Kelly's defense isn't so good, Abraham would eventually catch him with a good one.

Pavlik at 160 is a fighter with snap at 170 he is as flat as a ****carters hat , I thought Pav would handle the 10 pds ok but you could see in the first minute at 170 he is a ghost of the real one at the weight he belongs 160 , how can anybody not see how flat Kelly looked today at this weight .

why is everyone picking pavlik? abraham will send him into retirement

[Mugwump]

If Pavlik hadn't fought anyone of note up to the Hopkins fight Abraham hasn't fought full stop.

I'am Amaze at people on boxinscene As soon as a fighter loses all of the sudden anybody could beat him. Pavlik just got schooled by one of the ATG. I think the weight is all wrong for pavlik and the defensive style of Hopkins is very dificult for anybody. Saying this styles makes fights and Abraham waits to much to get off and let go his hands. Pavlik will KO this fool within 9 rounds.

im still not into abraham's hype or anything.

his style is a perfect match for kelly's punching power. and IMO he's just another vic darchinyan waiting to be exposed! LOL! lets wait for his donaire's LMAO!

Well said my friend.

really interesting fight that Pavlik wins! Abraham is a good defensive fighter but he's not anywhere near the level of hopkins although very few in the history of boxing are. pavlik would be able to let his hands go more and use his power punching a lot more effectively! also they would be fighting back at Pavlik's natural weight so pavlik wont be as slow as he was in this fight at light heavyweight.
