williams can fight from distance, or he can fight on the inside.. pavlik cant fight on the inside... and from the outside he ll be outboxed too... he ll be outworked as well... pavliks only chance is that his punch can hurt williams... and i dont even see that happeningI agree. At first I had my doubts about Williams being able to take ashot, but I have watched some Pavlik fights over since, and I just don't see him landing as much as he did on taylor. Also williams has legs and can and does move around the ring when he needs to so I don't see him getting backed straight up like a miranda or taylor. I see a competitive 8-4 close but unanimous decision, or even a late corner stoppage for Williams.
pavlik isnt a one pucnh KO artist... and williams has a chin anywayComment

Were you wearing Dan Birminghams skin when you typed this?
Seriously though did he confirm the rumors about Pavliks drinking problems? I disagree with the outcome of the fight unless the rumors are true.Comment

did he confirm it? i mean i was sitting next to him when he told me this...
this is all 100% accurate... i wouldnt make something up like this... i like my credibility on this site.
it was one of the most in depth boxing convos i ever had...
the pavlik fever thing had me by surprise too... but he said he is close friends with somenoe in pavliks camp and thats what happened... he didnt say thats why pavlik lost, because bernard looked great... but it did happen.Comment

dont get me wrong, im not counting Williams out by any means...i can see him outworking Pavlik but i just think that Pavlik has his career on the line in this one....he lost to a great fighter in Bernard at a higher weight, we'll see how resilient he is with his first real test sinceComment

Best I've read on boxingscene in years.
Great convo!
I'll rep you when I can.
p.s. Ain't nothing wrong with the clubs! But yeah, I've seen Wink at Drai's in Vegas on more than one occasion. The club doesn't open until like 2am.Comment
