Pavlik vs. Duddy Seems Likely, Not Pavlik-Abraham

[Clegg]

Horrible fight. Not just because it's a mismatch, but because Duddy has a great chin and terrible defence. He'll end up taking far too much punishment before it gets stopped.

Dangerous fight, and an accident waiting to happen.

Duddy is all heart, and seems to be packing a legendary chin, he takes everything absolutely flush, right on the button.

If Arum can live with this, then he better be wary of the outcome.

Duddy needs to be matched in and around his talent level; Matthew Macklin,Jamie Moore, Andy Lee.

You or me could promote all those fights and become millionnaires playing on the Irish angle.

This would be an awful choice. I let Kelly slide when he took the Lockett fight and letting him slide with this Rubio fight. Hes coming off a loss and Rubio is actually a pretty solid fighter but thats where I stop letting it slide. Get the win under your belt and fight Abraham. No more freaking tune ups. Kellys career has been built on beating Jermaine Taylor, where he nearly got KO'd in 2 rounds and then then the second matchup he struggled with Taylor. Theres a reason I have never been a fan of his and his career choices are justifying my hate for Kelly.

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

I must be really missing something.

Abraham's Footwork= Some of the worst ive seen from a 'top fighter'.

I agree completely.that's the smartest thing I've heard lately.maybe that's why duddy & hatton can take so many punches.no better way to muster courage than having a few too many pints eh lad! LOL! Derranged hulkamania is running wild in your veins brother! Amen for superior intellects like you & I

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.

I agree with this. As limited as Duddy is, if he's one thing, he's entertaining.

Abraham-Pavlik, or Abraham-Sturm is ideal, but this one would be fun.

Pavliks not the best but he's got a decent resume of fights not like that potatoe eating duddy.Abraham or sturm are the only suitable opponents for pavlik.these 3 should unify the belts by fighting each other & the one who unifies them should move up in weight to 168.there would be good fights available to them with good paydays as well

Xenophobia I tells 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.

Pavlik is American which is why he wont get any stick.

You say potatoe I say potato, let's call the whole thing off

Me saying potato, I think that I am right. I think.
