Kelly Pavlik-Sergio Mora Agreement Reached

[jbin333]

How does he lose a Junior Middleweight Title match...and end up getting a MIddleweight Championship Title fight......This is nothing more than a bull**** fight......I'd would have tolerated seeing him in there against John Duddy over Mora...........Why is it Felix Sturm's name never comes up in terms of a title unification matchup........

I am very very disappointed with this matchup.....Mora has 0% chance in this fight, Pavlik may have to carry him a couple of rounds before to drops the hammer.........


OMG this is ridiculous

[jvsnypes]

Ok Pavlik. I can let you get away with this fight so long as you fight the winner of Wright vs Williams in your very next fight.

This is one of the most ******EST fights I have ever heard of! Kelly will KO the Latin snake within 9 rounds! Pavlik has NOTHING to gain from taking this fight. This is just plain silly.

What's worse than this fight is the why it's happening. Arum can claim all he wants that no one knows who Aurthur Abraham is but the truth is the majority of boxing fans do. He can claim too that he wants Arthur to establish himself in the States so that a fight between him and Pavlik will make money. The majority of people who watch boxing are people who visit sites like this or follow the sport closely. I don't know nor have I ever known any casual fan that would order a PPV with Tyson and De La Hoya fights being the exception.

The names Mike Tyson and Oscar De La Hoya (just to name two) transcend the sport and attract people to fights even they don't follow the sport regularly. Newsflash Bob Arum...you talk of Abraham's lack of noterity but no one outside of the hardcore followers of boxing knows who Kelly Pavlik is either so your excuse isn't a valid one. Furthermore Abraham is a bigger name than Mora is which further invalidates your lame excuse. This is a fight fans want to see and some will pay to see and while I'd like to say that no one will pay to watch Pavlik fight feather fisted Mora millions will because they don't know how to say no or go without to make a point or send a message.

I'm a humble boxing fan of 35 years and while I know and understand the fight game I know little to nothing of what goes on behind the scenes with promoters and fighters, however if Kelly really wants the Abraham fight he should take steps (if legally possible) to get it even if it means leaving Top Rank. Pavlik vs. Abraham is a fight every boxing fan wants to see and a fight that no casual or part time fan will ever know enough about or care about.

Any fighter has a chance to beat the other guy on any given night and while boxing often gives us surprise upsets, Mora's got virtually no chance in hell at beating Pavlik, especially with those powder puffs he calls fists. Pavlik's going to start connecting and Mora's going to sleep...that's it.

So much of boxing is having a great year thus far...its a shame that people like Bob Arum are allowed to do what they do and get away with it. Arum is avoiding Abraham as long as he possibly can so that he can milk Kelly for all he's worth for fear he may lose to Arthur. It's not about fame or glory, or the warriors code, it's all about money to the Arum's of the world and they'll keep screwing fans and the sport over for a few extra bucks because well...very few of us are willing to send them a message by not buying and watching fights like Pavlik vs. Mora.

Are the networks going to air this fight or is it going to be another unworthy PPV broadcast. I pray that HBO, Showtime, and ESPN send Arum a message by not buying the rights to this fight. So far this year they've made considerable efforts to bring us better fights and leave the boring or mismatched fights where they belong, in the trash. Mora is a nobody with no power and no excitement, and poses no threat to Kelly. Mora is the safe route to another title defense and that's crystal clear. Bob Arum can spin this any way he wants but it's garbage regardless of what color bow he tries to tie on this.

Abraham, Williams, or Sturm...hell call up Kirkland from Jr. Middleweight but not Mora! What makes this even more disgusting is the fact that Arum is considering putting a disgraced cheater on the Mexico portion of this undeserving card and PPV. This whole thing sickens me.

Kelly's career is being stalled and stunted by the actions of Arum.

Arum is the virus that makes boxing sick...nothing more nothing less.

what a disgrace to boxing........kelly pavlik keeps beating up c+ fighters instead of fighting the best......

[finster]

Kelly has lost my respect

Arum is a ****ing snake! He ruins his fighters reputations and shame on kelly for excepting this joke of a fight with the Latin ****! This a no contest bull**** and meaningless fight! arthur abraham ia a real champ and is desperately trying to unify the belts! kelly's reputation is taking a real hit here! What a shame! as kelly was a fan favorite!

The only real problem I find with Mora is that he is coming of a dominating loss at 154, I mean lets face it Mora >>>>>>>>>> John Duddy

[The_Visitation]

This is still just the fall-out from the B-Hop fight, during which an awful lot of people realized Pavlik was nowhere near as good as they had thought he was. That includes both Arum and Pavlik. Abraham isn't happening either because Arum thinks Pavlik will lose or, more worryingly, Pavlik himself doesn't believe he can win and is fooling himself another 'confidence' win might change that.

shame on Pavlik and his team.......Mora aint got enough pop to make this a good fight........
