gahhhhhhhhhhh, what a fucking waste of a fight....

Pavlik restarts his career by going up in weightclass, and in an even more stacked division?

Ward better retire the shit out of him.....

This has GOTTA BE a cash out fight for Pavlik....

Kelly has always done his very best when counted out/viewed as an under dog going into big fights.

At the very least Ward is fittin' to have his hands full

I'm not going to predict a win for KP, because I think the most likely outcome is a hard fought decision for Ward. However, I've recently watched all of Ward's fights from Boone to Dawson, some multiple times, and the more I watch, the better I like this fight.

I wouldn't send him straight to Ward either. Going from Rosinsky to Ward is a big jump and Ward might be the best fighter Pavlik has faced (though maybe not the biggest uphill battle in a sense, Hopkins was about 185 on fight night while Pavlik was around 172 making the beating that much more ugly. Ward will probably be smaller than Pavlik on fight night, 176 I'd guess to Pavlik's 180). Not saying that Ward is better than Hopkins in an all-time sense, but that at 28 he's probably better than a 43 year old Hopkins. Maybe Pavlik's team views this as a no-lose proposition. If Ward owns him, well, it was supposed to happen and Pavlik would have several respectable siblings in that department. The flip side of the coin is if Pavlik pulls off the miracle upset, then he hit the jackpot.

The only real problem I have with the fight basically coincides with what I said above. If the fight goes according to plan (10-2 Ward or worse), then the fight proves nothing. We have no idea where to put Pavlik in the mass of "other" SMWs.

EDIT: Pavlik Andrade would have been fun in 2007-2008, and I really wish Pavlik went to SMW THEN , but now Andrade is totally and completely shot.

See the bold? You are dead wrong bro. I have spent a shitload of time watching Ward over the last month, and Andre WArd is NOT as good as Sergio, nor does he present the same level of stylistic difficulty. Furthermore, the night Hopkins beat Pavlik, Kelly should have been at home in his sick bed, and, if BHop gets a 10 for that performance, Ward gets an 8 on the best night he ever had.

[Golden Boy 360]

first margarito, then marquez, and now pavlik.

Robert Garcia fighters are falling like pins.

i know that too... BUT

exactly why else would he line up for Ward, with the public expectation of losing? nothing else makes sense. Mebbe a desperate gamble to get a big upset win thru a random power punch that catches Ward clean?

Pavlik's got a puncher's chance, that's about it. Thats even diminished some, fighting up a weightclass...

wow dood.... this has gotta be one of your epic infamous quotes of all time.....

nice to you know you've been youtubing up Ward just lately

[Money7]

Easy win for ward.... i rather see Pavlik vs Froch

[MAG1965]

I would rather see Pavlik and Froch.

[vonBanditos]

Everything about this fight feels wrong. Pavlik either doesn't give a shit about his career or he's being grossly mismanaged. If I managed Pavlik I would never have let him take this fight unless the goal was to cash out.

[MrPR]

Fans of both fighters . But im gonna predict a Easy victory for Ward . Pavlik can punch and has heart but i doubt thats going to be enough to prevail over someone whos just on the top of his game right now .But best believe Kelly is not going to laid down for Ward , Im glad i just found this out ,now i cant wait for this fight to happen . 117-111 UD for S.O.G .
