Paul Williams vs. Kelly Pavlik.-OFFICIAL POLL.

[theghost#1]

Williams has the style to give Pavlik a lot of problems, the way he fought Margarito would be a good way to fight Pavlik, keep Pavlik turning while keeping a high workrate but Pavlik will catch him and how Williams responds to getting hit by Pavlik will determine the outcome of this fight IMO.

Yea and Pavlik is a bigger, better version of Margarito. I know all Pavlik has to do is land one big punch on P-Will chin and it's over. Who has P-Will fought that has power like Pavlik. No one.

That's not necessarily true, we haven't seen Williams really hurt before in his career. Pavlik will be the biggest puncher he has faced but that doesn't mean Williams will automatically get knocked out once he gets hit, for all we know Williams can take Pavlik's best shot. Pavlik better not enter the ring with that mentality.

What I meant to say was P-Will gets hit alot. He's no B-Hop.

I'll be rooting for Paul the Punisher Williams..

but if I had to drop some paper on the fight, I'd have to pick Pavlik by KO or TKO....there's a reason the Williams camp is not to eager to get this fight done, it's very possible that Paul will get wrecked...I thought Paul said something very ****** after Hopkins schooled Pav, he said something to the effect of "I would've beaten Pavlik the same way"....WTF is he smoking? When did he develop this incredible boxing IQ and amazing footwork?....Paul is a volume puncher who gives up his height to smaller guys then him and tries to overwhelm you, he does not posses the footwork to get away from Pavliks assualt....he'll be forced to brawl it out, and that will be his downfall IMO...yes most will say Pavlik is one deminsional, which he sort of is, but it's one hell of a deminsion and good luck getting past it.....all my opinion of coarse

side note: I still think Pavlik is a total douche bag

jesus christ....

stop looking at the winky fight. he hasn't fought in years and he had the worst style for paul. just look at the quintana fight where he was countered and he STOPPED throwing all those punches. pavlik has enough power for williams to respect his power and he will STOP williams.

true i forgot pavlik is one of the best counter punchers out there

Bad fight for Kelly
He's going to have lots of fast, fluid punches coming right at him from the word go, He won't be able to get set with his long one-two's and he doesnt have the imagination or the skills/speed to change things up and outbox pwill. Kelly only knows one way to fight.

Williams has shown that he is very vulnerable to right hands, or punches for that matter. The only problem is Williams rarely gives you a chance to strike because he overwhelms you. Paul is no Hopkins. What made Hopkins' assualts so effective is that he was in and out, used his speed, then got out of there on the defensive. Williams will try and stand toe-to-toe which will be his downfall in the fight. Both men are pressure fighters, the difference being is that Pavlik is alot more sturdy when coming forward. He's never taken a step back, which will open Paul up. Paul doesn't box around you, he just throws right in front of you and uses his lengthy arms to hit spots most wouldn't be able to at that distance. I feel this fight can easily go either way. I'm leaning toward Pavlik might stealing rounds with giant right hands, because that's the dragon slayer for a southpaw, especially Williams who doesn't give much head movement.

[Pugilistic™]

This is the best fight there is at middleweight.

I think Williams wins a clear decision if he is able to substain a high pace (obviously ), use lateral movement and be able to avoid and if neccessary absorb Pavliks bombs.

If Williams isn't able to take Pavlik's punch, Pavlik wins by TKO.

[ThunderWolf]

Williams by decision.

[Benncollinsaad]

Williams never fought a guy of Pavlik's size. I believe Pavlik's height and power would prove too much for Williams throughout the fight. Pavlik by KO/TKO.
