This is good **** man, and I'm delighted. Paul Williams was kind of getting on my nerves with his excessive demands. But looking back at it now, I'm not mad at him at all. He had some cards to play with like a guaranteed HBO date and he utilized it. Now that the negotiating is over with, we've got a fight on our hands. And big credit to Pavlik for stepping up to this challenge. He has redeemed his rep somewhat.
Pavlik/Williams is signed for Oct 3rd

Which version of Pavlik will we see?Comment

And why is everybody so down on Pavlik? It's not his fault that HBO never pushed that fight with Abraham like it is doing with Williams. I think Williams is a tougher challenge anyway even though Abraham has a more proven track record at the higher weights. And if Abraham loses to Taylor then it is going to look like it would've been almost pointless of Pavlik fighting him. I'm not necessarily going out of my way to root for that to happen, but everybody knows what I mean.Comment

The version that fought Hopkins was no different IMO. He just got undressed and coudn't land on a defensive fighter.Comment
