Degale vs Pavlik

Wouldn't be shocked if James pulled it out tbh

I really, really don't rate this version of Pavlik, and even in his prime he was a bit overhyped

and Degale has an awful style for him, james either get's ko;d or wins wide decision, toss a coin

 

Thought Pavlik was fighting Froch some time in November?

 

DeGale on points. Hes too slick and he will perform on the big stage. He knows what Pavlik brings to the table. He will be the underdog in this aswell. I will go big on James if this comes off.

 

I think they are looking at oousthousen

brings the IBO belt, an undefeated record and a top 5 Ring ranking with him, will bring a few fans over from SA too, is to be honest a better opponent than Pavlik at this stage who i also cant see bringing many good old boys from arkansas or wherever he's from

 

Pavlik struggles with movement and his power isnt to impressive at the moment his jab isnt the weapon it was and he looks slow (he does looks massive at the weight tho), he can be hit..I have my doubts about how far this comeback will go. De gale is good could be better and needs to be more active but he might just be too fresh for Pavlik whos taken a couple of beatings now. Id make Kelly a slight faviourte cause we havent seen the best of Degale yet

 

Fair play to Froch if he takes that fight. I'd have thought Pavlik was as close to a 'breather' as Froch would take prior to his rematch with Bute.

 

He looks really slow, i mean his movement is practically non existant, he's getting by at the moment on the fact that against the kind of circuit fighters he's facing, his power is still levels above them and his basic technique can handle them. World level is a whole different ball game, he will almost certainly fail when he steps up.

The people wanting to see Pavlik vs Froch need to think about that a little bit more, because I can see all of the desire leaving Pavliks body within 3 rounds, he mentally checked out against Martinez and I dont think he's ever checked back in to be honest

people might call me silly but I seriously think George Groves would put up a better fight than Pavlik at this stage, who looks ready for the glue factory

 

Good fight for Degale, one he should win also, Pavlik is shot.

 

DeGales movement could make Pavlik look like ****
but Pavliks experience could make Degale make a few mistakes and get caught

 

there is only one person who is more irrelevent than pavlik in boxing and that is andre dirrell

 

I'd go with DeGale to beat him, A points win. Maybe a few scares of but i think James would love this fight and love Pavlik's style.

 

DeGale should be crawling over broken glass to get this fight made.

 

Pavlik is pretty much done. But he still has the power to put Degale to sleep. And because Degale is so much smoke and mirrors, i wouldn't be confident in picking him to win. He gets hit too much and i could see him taking a lot of right hands.
