    Kelly Pavlik vs. Andre Ward - Who Wins If Ref Doesn't Allow Too Much Clinching?

    the ward-pavlik fight is on jan 26 being targeted for LA. ward's last two fights have been phenomenal but showed somewhat excessive clinching and holding which makes it difficult for his opponents to get into a rhythm.

    pavlik's advantage is on the outside where he can throw that wicked right straight. let's assume for a second pavlik is able to clean up his act and could come back to being 90% of what he was when he dethroned a prime jermain taylor, he could give ward some serious problems. if he can push ward back with his hi-work rate and a ref that splits them apart during a clinch creates distance, pavlik might be able to pull off an upset. for the record, i think ward wins this by UD

    Ward schools him fron the outside and on the inside, doesn't matter.

    Ward is too skilled and versatile for the 1 dimensional Pavlik.

      Pavlik is going to make his last paycheck that night. Ward will easily counter 1-2 pavlik, he can see those punches coming from a mile away. This is going to be like Hopkins vs Pavlik except more brutal.

        Ward schools and beats up Pavlik, inside or out. The ref doesn't even come into it.

          yep. mentally, physically and technically ward is on a whole other level. other than height and punching power he has every single advantage in this fight. ward will negate both those attributes withing a round or two and then box pavliks ears off.

            Pavlik doesn't win a single round.

                Minus a fluke punch from Pavlik, I think he's gonna be completely outclassed.

                I'd love for a Pavlik KO though

                  Inside, Outside, maybe even Blindfolded LOL

                  Ward beats Pavilk anyway he wants, I think he stops him as well

                    Ward doesn't lose a round. Pavlik gets schooled.
