This is great, I think. I might not be Pavlik-Abraham right away but this is a great step towards crowning a true unified champion.

[Kris Silver]

Really hope this fight comes off. Sets up a great fight and unification with Pavlik.

sturm is looking for weak links.

Sturm is hoping that AA will drain his strength during the weght catch for 160lb so he can benefit a victory over AA's weakness. The money issue is no longer in sturm's strategic plan but rather he has a better hope. Marquez was hoping for AA to drain his strength during weight catch. However, he ended up quitting on his stool after surviving six rounds. Consequently, sturm will end up with his foolish idea in his mind. He should consider an easy fight with Susi Kentikian at Universum rather than trying to appear a sly ass credible before his fans. "peeleft:

If I were Abraham, I would take on Pavlik first, which is way more of a difficult fight, then take on Sturm. Cuz even if Abraham loses to Pavlik, he can take Sturm's belt and the chance of a re-match with Pavlik would be more realistic. But what do I know?

it's not like its up to abraham.....pavlik still decides who he wants to fight, and i haven't heard him even mention AA. AA better fight sturm, and if that doesn't happen, he better kiss up to WW....

Alot of Pavlik's bargaining power got crushed because he decided to take money and take a dive in the Hopkins fight. **** Pavlik. He doesn't mention AA because it career suicide.

[Googler]

AA is going to crush Sturm. Mark my words. Sturm does not have a chance. Even if he survives 12 rounds hes going to be in a very bad shape.

This is great, I think. I might not be Pavlik-Abraham right away but this is a great step towards crowning a true unified champion.

It really does establish the CLEAR #1 contender to Pavlik though.

I don't think Abraham has any more claim to a fight with Pavlik than Sturm does at this point.

[Zarco]

Lets get this fight going. Whats up with all you people saying Sturm was scared to fight Abraham? Did you not hear him say "i can hardly wait to fight Abraham." I cant wait myself. Although Abrahams side still might be trying to give Sturm the shorter end of the bargain, they are dilusional if they truly believe thats how its supposed to go down.
