Sounds good to me

Arthur was unimpressive tonight.

Im not sure if it was the weight, if he didn't take the fight seriously, had no motivation and didn't train like he should have.

Maybe a combination of all those things.

Abraham/Pavlik needs to happen sometime this year. It has FOTY potential.

that's pretty ****** but whatever if Pavlik's allowed to fight Mora then Abraham is certainly entitled to fight a guy that beat him.

Isn't he going to have to wait until he fights Martinez, it was reported they reached an agreement already.
