Pavlik vs. Abraham on November 7 in New York's MSG?

[BattlingNelson]

We've heard of all this in the past, many times, but the promoters for Kelly Pavlik and Arthur Abraham are promising that both fighters will come together to unify their titles in the fall. Kelly Pavlik will defend his WBC/WBO middleweight titles against Sergio Mora on June 27 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, and Abraham will make a mandatory defense of his IBF title against Giovanni Lorenzo in the summer.

Tabloid yes, but they are usually well informed when it comes to boxing.

I'm just praying Abraham can still make the weight.

I feel like they've waited too long, I can't see AA making 160 in November.

Both fighters has to get unharmed through defenses this summer for the fight to become a reality.

So thats why Mora was picked.

Pavlik would have gained more respect by not fighting ANYONE than fighting Mora

This is funny. The article says that AA has taken a CHEF-course by the cook at the famous Berlin Ritz-Carlton hotel!

The cook has taught Arthur to make light sports-dishes.

damnit this ain't gonna work it's either 1. AA not gonna be able to make weight or 2. he comes in very sickly, weight drained, zombified etc etc like DLH in pacman fight and when he gets destroyed by Pavlik the weight will be his biggest excuse. I want to see a HEALTHY AA against Pavlik prime for prime like it's supposed to be and such a late date doesn't seem to be able to afford that.
Because I know for a fact that a healthy AA will blast Pavlik out in like 4-5 rounds KTFO.

At least he has a believeable excuse already. But let's see the contract signed first and then look forward to the weigh-in.
