Aurthur Abraham Vs Kelly Pavlik

[KJB]

I didn't compare Abraham to Hopkins...and Pavlik isn't no more skilled than Abraham, Abraham will get Kelly in trouble. If Pavlik thinks like you do he wont make it out the 1st round. Abraham is a animal. Kelly wont hurt him,and look for Kelly to get weak minded LIKE he did with Hopkins. Instead Abraham will will finish him....

Compelling argument, bro.

I got Pavlik by decision, I think stylistically this fight favors Pavlik.

ive always said, when two guys go to war (as these would) the one with the better power, chin and defence wins...

and in this case, all those attributes belong to AA

so im going for AA by knockout in 8 in an absolute war

By "go to war" I assume you mean getting into a punch for punch shootout, or some kind of brawl.
NEITHER of these guys EVER fight like that. Pavlik comes in boxing behind a 1-2, Abraham stays behind a tight guard looking for counters.
If one guy was to get seriously hurt I would expect them to attempt a shootout, but not before. This is a clash of styles, its not Gatti-Ward.

Pavlik by decision.

I think you are just high hoping for a Kessler-Pavlik showdown eventually because you know how easy it will be for Mikkel......

It didn't cross my mind TBH. I figure such a fight is at least 2 years away.

My reasoning in this fight is first and foremost that Abraham cannot be KO'ed. AA takes to much time off in rounds so I feel Pavlik will take a lot of rounds on workrate alone. I also think that the Hopkins schooling could have happened to any fighter that night as Hopkins was so brilliant in executing his gameplan. I think Pavlik will be back to prove he's the best middelweight in the world.

Of course Pavlik will have to be careful as Arthur has shown that he carries that sick power in the abrahammer right until the final bell.

I think the Hopkins fight might of damaged him mentally and physically. If he can recover from that beat down, he deserves some respect. Kelly lacks in the defense department and isn't hard to hit. One punch Abraham can end the fight, two punches would put him in a comma and three will literally turn him into a ghost

Indeed. Pavlik has to get the jab going and keep the fight on the outside. No concentration-lapses allowed or it's goodnight!
