Comments Thread For: Nobuhiro Ishida Targets a Division Move To Heavyweight

[A_Jeffrey]

Wladimir would KO Ishida by one of his clinches without even throwing a punch. When Wladimir will lean on him and then let go Ishida will drop to the floor and will be out for 20 minutes.

Maybe 'heavyweight' means something different in Japanese. Like shop assistant or flower arranger.

Now THAT'S a ballsy move. Can't wait to see it, good or bad.

pavlik hit like a mule, had a great chin, and was 6'3" with a HW reach. i know ishida is tall, but he's not kelly's size.

also, pavlik would have absolutely ****** at HW.


kelly probably just wanted to be able to drink like arreola during training.

Pavlik hit hard but didn't have huge KO power when you look at it. He broke people down, and even then certain competition that was not good or on a major slide.

HW's in Japan aren't small if you look at their MMA guys.

pavlik absolutely had huge KO power. his problem was that he was slow and telegraphed the right hand, so he'd have to put his hands on guys to slow them down. his right hand had one punch power.
