imagine if Pavlik somehow lands something The guy does have KO power at the very least Ward losing to Pavlik would be one of the biggest fails of all time
Would it? Pavlik is still only 30,and was in still fairly recent times, the undisputed middleweight champion of the world. Hes only lost twice, once to a fighter 2 divisions above him,and the other time,he lost a hard fought fight with the guy now ranked in the top 3 p4p. That being said, Id expect Ward to beat him.
This. Ward UD with possible TKO win. Pavlik is going to look like ****. Ward will have neutralized Pavlik completely by round 2 or 3 and then Pavlik will spend the next 9 or 10 rounds taking punishments and getting clinched anytime he creates space to throw a punch.
