    pavlik from 2008 won't be stepping into the ring. the pavlik from the last three fights is going to take a severe beating. if he can couple what he's done with garcia with what he used to do, he'll be at least a live opponent.

    kelly has been cutting easily as of late and the way even sigmon was able to get inside means cuts from ward's head and fists are likely.

    but kelly asked for this kind of a fight and it looks like he'd going to get it. better pack a lunch and do whatever it was he was going to do with his comeback.

    The Pavlik that destroyed fighters on his rise to the title takes this fight. The 2013 version is questionable? I dont see how he will get thru the cuts. Love my Pavlik, but he better call 1800bhopu and take his advise and learn to fight black.

    Ward via wide decision of Hopkins-esque proportions, if not worse

    Hopkins-Pavlik II. Only a good fight if Ward wants to stay active and/or Pavlik establishes himself at SMW which he hasn't.

    I agree, it will be considerably easier than what anyone could imagine. Hopkins couldn't stop him and Ward will. TKO5 after beating Pavlik for every second of every round.

    Pavlik matchmakers don't match him well to have his own career. This is about Andre Ward's career. Pavlik can win but chances are he will lose a big decision. He should have been active after Hopkins and fought the Froch and Bute kind of fighters. He wasted so much time not fighting anyone and now he is going to fight Ward.

    Actually, it could end up at The Home Depot Center.

    Pavlik doesn't want to go to Oakland, but trains in Oxnard. Both have fought at the venue before.

    Business wise it makes more sense to get out of California and away from the 9.3% income tax, though.

    He simply cannot lose against this version of Pavlik. Less than 2% chance.

    Ward by UD. I'll be shocked if Pavlik lands a single power shot.
