[M.I Truth ?]

we need this fight. Not Mora

King arthur is waiting Pavilk, you cant run forever

Why is everyone so quick to bash the Pavlik Mora bout? Pavlik has trouble with movement (fact) The latin snake has nothing but movement, dude lets his hands go, talks ****, and the whole 9 - ha can't help it if he's not the hardest puncher. I think it might be a Bhop performance all over again. Pavlik might not be able to deal with those angles, and might relapse into that passive fighter that fought Bhop. Sergio Mora is a good fighter - watch some of his fights, dude comes to fight, he out slicked Vernon forest (forest had a bad night, but he's only lost to Mayorga and Sergio Mora - that speaks volumes. I'm not a mora fan or a Pavlik hater - I am a true boxing fan and analyst and i see a good fight. Arthur Abraham will possibly KO Pavlik, dude has movement, takes risks, and can pop - so pavlik fans better pray pavlik gets another tuneup because i do not think his confidence is at an all time high.

If it was just a matter of days like Bob makes out, then why has it been delayed 6 weeks? He was pushed to make Hatton Pac and that over ran the supposed cut-off, there was loads more to do for that i.e. said promotional materials, yet he can't do it for this? Seems odd.

A month and a half is a big deal, when Kelly was ready to fight, and the delay seems to have been more on their side.

Especially when it's a largely pointless fight and there's a guy waiting to unify for ages now, whom a lot have said will not be able to make weight beyond 2009. What does Arum do, conveniently un necessarily delay a pointless fight by 6 weeks, and say, maybe unify in January 2009. Frigging idiot.

What about Hopkins reign at 160? They weren't all great fighters you guys need to relax.

I think there planning on Pavlik to be champ for a while so there all are not going to be elite fighters.

And please stop with the myth that if Pavlik makes AA wait a couple months longer that he's going to out grow the weight class

[Fox McCloud]

Damnit... oh well, if it's still on at some point in the future, that is good news I guess.

[Kevin Jesus]

What Arum is doing is so obvious, King Arthur had trouble making weight in his last fight, Arum knows this. Bob Arum knows that Abraham will fight Kelly Pavlik by any means necc. meaning he will drain himself to 160 when the fight is available. I've always said AA knocks Pavlik's lights out, but not like this, not weight-drained. Arum is as slick as my slick black hair.

After I saw Abraham spark Miranda and Pavlik lose to Hopkins the way he did and come back with an easy fight against Rubio I thought Abraham would beat Pavlik. Now I'm not so sure. I didn't see Arthur's last fight but from reports about it he didn't look good at all and the opponent that he was in with was C-level. If Pavlik wants to get the credit for beating him though then the fight needs to happen ASAP. Don't let the guy turn into a skeleton. It's clear what Arum is doing and it is bull****.

[HOMETOWNCHAMP]

Abraham seems to be outgrowing the middleweight division that if he can make weight by the time the fight happens he could be very drained and in a dangerous cituation.

I think they're waiting for AA to be weight-drain by the time the fight happens, AA is having troubles making weight now.
