Paul Williams vs. Kelly Pavlik

Two Ameribum hype jobs that have been exposed would be funny, at least Pavlik lost to a good fighter, so maybe Pavlik the wooden plank would win this one.

 

In spite of the current bad blood between Arum and Goosen, I think this fight could happen. If Paul continues to win, and wins a couple good fights at 160, the potential money will outstrip the bad blood.

However, this is simply Williams begging for an ass whoopin' Cold-Hard-Truth said it right: KP can land on PW. Not only can he land, he can make the double-jab-right hand work. At 160 anybody Kelly can make that work against is going to sleep before the middle rounds are over.

In addition Williams brings nothing to the ring that Pav hasn't already dealt with in highlight reel fashion. Miranda had an arm length advantage. Zuniga and Miranda both hit harder than Williams. McKart had a hellacious experience advantage including 3 fights with Winky. Taylor is faster than Williams. JT made the distance in the 2nd fight because Pav could not get the double jab going, but Jermain was prepared to defend against it by actual experience, and again, JT is faster than Williams.

By the time this thing got into the 3rd round Pav would be finding his mark with the jab - right hand, and Paul's work rate would slow way down. Williams going full bore can't keep KP off of him. Once the work rate slows down, Pavlik spends two or 3 rounds walking William's down, and catches him on the ropes. Once KP gets a hurt fighter on the ropes, their dead meat.

 

So then, all Paul needs to do is get knocked the **** out in the first fight, and then right before the rematch make sure Pav injures his left elbow and catches a severe case of bronchitis. Yep -- that'll work:yep

 

The guy who talks about fashion, shopping and how good looking british male actors are is trying to talk boxing? Oh boy

 

booradley; whos the guy in your AVATAR?

 

Danny "little red" Lopez

 

Danny "Little Red" Lopez. WBC featherwieght champ 1976-1980. Arguably the hardest hitting 126 pounder of all time. Had terrible balance and was SLOW, used to get put on his ass routinely, and then come tearing back and score a highlight reel KO. 39 of 42 wins came by KO. Lost two fights to Salvador Sanchez, and retired.

 

He never looked like he was balanced haha, just kinda tumbling around, and then BOOM --- he catches you and you go down

 

Horrible post.

 

Pavlik by late stoppage.

 

Danny had 3 things going for him: power, work rate, and the balls of a buffalo.

 

I'd add heart of a lion as well :good

 

Not to go off topic just a little But Bhop is no defensive genius just to the extant that you guys think. (against Calzhage every punch seemed as tho he were walking into it just before I said this sure would seem like the time for Bhop to get some extra time) He can look brilliant if the fight goes slow enough for him against many if not absolutely all top guys. Pavlik just wasn't there that night. Anyway tying this in Pavlik by KO.:hi:

 

I agree
Pavlik
by
brutal
KO

 

did you watch the fight? Calzaghe landed about 3 flush shots the entire fight... and even those punches were speed slaps. not power punches
