Pavlik vs. Rubio: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - There are three fights on Saturday night with varying levels of intrigue. John Duddy-Matt Vanda could create a title shot at Middleweight. Miguel Cotto-Michael Jennings should confirm or deny any doubts about Cotto in the wake of his first career loss. A WBO Welterweight belt will even be on the line. [details]

LoL, Pavlik is not a B speed. More Like a D+, C- if generous

[battledrill1a]

speed

Pavlik isnt a Shane Mosley for sure but he isnt a d- or even a c-. You must have smoked you breakfast mrs dee who ever.Kelly's gonna bust up Rubio far worse than he did taylor. Ill give him a B at least on speed and power could really be an A. Hell look at his record and the only one to stop Taylor. Stop hating.

True, but I would give him a C/C+, if you've ever seen Rubio, he is the definition of D+ speed.

[MissDeeCole]

Okay whatever, hes not a B though. Thats worse then fight night ratings, and I like Pavlik

[C.Y.]

Pavlik has negative speed.. he just has good timing.. C- speed rating is accurate..

how is kelly B for speed and defence

[slicksouthpaw16]

My final prediction is Pavlik TKO8. I think Kelly will have some slight difficulties early on with Rubio's toughness and punch, but i think that will actually play against him because his defense is not where its suppose to be( Rubio that is) and Kelly has the experience of being in this kind of firefight against better fighters than Rubio. All in all, it will be exciting while it lasts.

[WESS]

Pav by KO/TKO before 10.

Actually at middle weight I'd give Pavlik a B- for handspeed, based on his last middle weight fight against Lockett.
