Pavlik vs. Duddy Seems Likely, Not Pavlik-Abraham

[Johnny Rebel]

Nobody thinks Duddy is going to beat Pavlik but he'll give it his all and will make the fight entertaining for as long as it lasts. Instead of bashing Duddy you should be bashing Pavlik for taking this fight over Sturm or Abraham.

Pablik has fought j.Taylor twice,e.mirada,b.Hopkins,former 2 time world champ bronco mckart,& current #15th ranked zuniga who is fighting ibf champ bute next month.as for his next fight with rubio is #7 with fights against kassim ouma(former ibf lw champ),fitz vanderpool,& current #12 Saul roman.he also won an eliminator to get in line.duddy got a gift wrapped ranking without winning a notable fight.I'm not bashing duddy unjustly.he hadn't done ****!

at the minute the MW division looks poor the only real fighters worthy of mention are pavlik and abraham, two others are mundine and felix sturm.

john duddy is alrite but he doesn't have a clue when it comes to defense.

[MELLY-MEL...]

*** off arum, thanks for ***ing us out of the fight we want to see.

[kayjay]

Abraham is the best middleweight and has been for years, no matter what HBO and Arum tell you

I like the way when Pavlik's facing two not top contendors it's ok, we know it's not Kelly's choice or fault, he needs the confidence builders, that he'd definitely fight a top guy if he could.

Yet when Kessler or someone do the same, it's we know it's Mikkels choice, he's a wimp, he needs to face better competition, whose he beaten, he wouldn't even fight a top guy if he had the chance

Sorry but the assumptions about the fighters behind the scenes always seem favourable to some, yet very critical of others.

Yep. That's the way it is. Double standards is one af the major trademarks of NSB.

[Derranged]

Are you serious?

Duddy KO's Pavlik in round one. Not even close. Pavlik is a bald headed chump, he's finished. No way will Pavlik be able to withstand the foul stench of the Irishman's armpits after he's been out drinking all night.

[Drunk Punch]

This is a Lockett-style crap out. Bring on AA!

[Decypher]

Pavlik needs to get his ass in the ring with Abraham this year, or he has no right to be considered the no.1 MW.

[Mr. Philadel]

hahaha, that's weak. I like pavlik, but clearly his promoters are a bit scared of abraham. trying to pull the money card, as if duddy is some huge name. lmao. They are milking pavlik because they are afraid he may lose.
No disrespect to pavlik, cuz I know he'll fight anyone, but come on. this is a joke!
