Any chance Pavlik pulls off the upset?

[elfag]

This fight is truly pathetic. It's a complete mismatch. Even Pavlik in his prime wouldn't beat Ward or probably even make it very close, let alone this drunken hasbeen of a fighter he's now.

Right now this is in the same category as Canelo vs. Mosley to me.

Yeah prime pavlik had a size/weight advantage over most of his opponents. He never did much at 168. Ward is the same size, more athletic and more skilled. He would always school any version of pavlik

No head movement, slow, pretty bad footwork, even his workrate and accuracy is off... Pavlik hasn't looked the same, particularly his power above 160.

I smell a stoppage.

[SN!PER]

If Pavlik won this, it would be more than an upset. We'd have to use a completely new word to describe such an unlikely spectacle.

Everybody has a chance, everybody. I give Pavlik 5-10% puncher's chance but anything is possible. I expect a boring fight, one that Ward more than likely dominates 10 rounds to 2.
