pavlik-abraham at 168

[teddycanyon]

the public was clamoring for this fight for a while back at 160. Now instead of an undisputed middleweight crown on the line, it's a perfect crossroads fight for both men.
Pavlik probably isn't ready to fight a 168 pounder in the league of a Lucian Bute and wants to make a lasting impression in his super middleweight campaign with a big name on his resume. Abraham needs to win just to show he belongs in boxing. Both men have been flustered by "movers" in the past. Assuming they're not damaged goods, this fight should be a slugfest that bring out the best in both men.
Pavlik's marketable in Ohio and last I checked German fans still appreciate Abrahammer. So why not make it happen?

Didn't they just make a movie about this matchup?!

You'd think Kelly has the tools to win this.


But Abraham KO's him. He probably would've done the same at 160, too.

Pavlik looked awfull in his last fight. Abraham would destroy him. I think Abraham at 168 is more solid and powerfull than Pavlik is. Pavlik is easy to hit and Abraham would land huge punches. Pavlik is not on the level of Ward or Froch, not at all. Abraham actually looked good against Ward, and he won the first 3 rounds although Ward has verry good defence.

[Instinto]

Bring it on.

Like this fight alot. Pavlik's workrate would give Abrahams lack of some trouble. But Abraham as toughness and the power to really hurt Pavlik!
