How would you rate Kelly Pavlik's chin?

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Steve Smoger thinks it's pretty good. I'd say it's up there. He took some big shots from Hopkins and Taylor.

Chin doesn't matter as much against Bute anyway.....i'd be more worried about protecting the liver from one of those body shots. Bute's head shots are often an afterthought or the cherry on top to finish the cake that was prepared by landing those husge body shots.

sure he took miranda out with an uppercut....but it was 2 shots to the body that took the wind out of his sails.





Here he drops Andrade with an uppercut.....but finishes him to the body.





Bute is smarter than ppl give him credit for. He struggled with Andrade the first time...but learned from it. He adjusts in the rematch and takes him out in 4 rds easily. This is the sign of a good fighter. Everything he does in this rd is a trap which Andrade's Margarito type stlye plays right into.....he lets Andrade follow him around so he can set traps and use his speed and movement to counter with short sharp punches.

Pavlik might be a similar story.....i see him following Bute all around the ring and walking into something big.....i'd say he finishes Pavlik with a body shot.

Astute posts.

Kelly has a good chin and mentally he thinks that he can take a fighter out if he put his hands on him so he hangs around even when getting a beating. Bute KO comes with technic, he eventually makes the opponents walk into his uppercut creating more KO power. Smart fighter

Its really solid probably 9/10.

Wow Bute fights alot of Pavliks leftovers, this fight might surprise somebody.
The only real problem for Pavlik is Bute is another ****ing southpaw.
