Comments Thread For: Pavlik vs Pirog Showdown Being Discussed For The Fall

[JK1700]

I dont know what Pavlik can do now. He's really screwed because he wants to move up but everyone at 168 smokes him. Likewise 175.

And I dont see him beating any of the champions at 160, Maybe if Williams was to beat Martinez in a rematch then he could fight Williams for the WBC belt.

Arum would never put him in there with Felix Sturm after what Bernard did. Sturm has a similar style, He's got a very good jab and is very hard to hit. I find it hard to see how Pavlik could win a round against him nevermind a fight. Pirog is really his only option. And if he loses that fight then his career really is on the rocks, I'm not saying Pirog isnt a top fighter but Pavlik was regarded as the best Middleweight before Bernard took him to school and he lost his belts to Martinez.

Pavlik is in an aukward situation.

i thought he couldn't make 160 anymore??...or was that an excuse after losing to martinez?

He said he consulted a nutritionist, and his team is considering hiring a physical conditioning expert.

Guys, Pavlik is definitely staying at 160.....

Great fight,Make it happen hbo.

This could be a real good fight, and a reality check for both.

Pirog looks a class act, but..... Pavlik will be a much sterner test.

[The Surgeon]

Pirog looked pretty good but Jacobs was a prospect. Another over hyped prospect who's bubble just burst, Pavlik is world class. Kelly KO win

[-EX-]

Definently wouldn't mind seeing this...

[Straightener]

this would be a great fight for fight fans. i still think pavlik has something to offer and pirog seems a beast

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Whoa I dont know about this one. The kid aint ready. He can be hit and Pavlik can crack. Maybe Pavs weight struggle allow Pirog to dominate. This fight is a toss up.

pavlik is the best possible opponent for pirog : pavlik will struggle to make weight and is confidence level is low . Pavlik is over the hill .
