Pavlik Feels a Dominating Win is Needed with Rubio

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (34-1, 30KOs) is in the final stages of training for his mandatory title defense against Marco Antonio Rubio (43-4, 37KOs), scheduled for February 21 at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, Ohio. Top Rank pay-per-view will televise. [details]

Definitely needs a dominating win, he has to make a statement here.

I don't see it going past 6 rounds at best.

Shouldn't be too hard to come by. Pavlik will stop him.

I've got Kelly's back again.

At first I was a little pissed off about the multitude of excuses he made after losing to my boy, rather than accepting it like a man. But a lot of fighters do that when they lose the first time out, so I can't hate on him.

Kelly by KO within 5 rounds.

WAR Pavlik!!

I hope he wins.

He needs to fight Arthur Abraham soon IMO. It's the only fight in that division worth contemplating!

It'll happen this year. Kelly wants it. Arthur wants it. We want it. It will be epic.

I'm intrigued to see if he's changed much since that dominating schooling to Hopkins. He'd be much better for ditching Loew whom seems to lack the inspiration to improve his all round boxing ability.

From there I'll judge on Abraham, if it's as static and limited in adaptability as sometimes has been, Aruthur is favourite for me. If Kelly's showing to be slightly more thoughtful, mixing it up bit more, not pauzing, showing real hunger in attack then he should take that the king down.

I'd wager my gonads that Rubio is in for a bad beating.

But even Hopkins stated that Pavlik is better than that last performance; in fact, he believes Pavlik could end up one of the greatest Middleweights of all time. It was simple, really. Kelly needed to throw the left hook to keep Bernard from moving in that direction, positioning him back towards his right hand, and then get off first when they reset. A little shuffling of the feet would have helped too.

He went in there sluggish, carrying more weight than he's used to, and he simply looked for a home run that wasn't going to be there against a wily guy like BHop.

He'll be fine, and he'll reign as champ for a long time.
