    Kelly said Miranda hit like a mule too. But it didn't stop him from coming forward.

    I don't know why people want to see Pavlik 168 just yet the Hopkins fight proved that Kelly is sluggish at a higher weight then 160 and are lots of good colorful fighters for Pavlik to fight at 160 Guys like Duddy, Karmarzin,
    Mundine, Zbik and Giovanni Lorenzo.

    I figure if Pavlik can hold to Maranda best shots he will be able to take the Kings best shots:bbb

    Hopefully its AA next. AA is stuck fighting tomato cans until Pavlik is ready, since Sturm is scared. Its not fair to AA, he wants to unify and no one wants to fight him.

    abraham was asked to leave germany where he gets paid a lot more money and gets packed houses and go to america to fight on a small hall , low key event v miranda , so american`s would see him and set up a fight with pavlik.

    now what do we get

    if kelly can beat rubio

    kelly then is in a position to fight williams v wright winner

    then if kelly wins he is in a position to fight sturm

    and if he beats sturm he is then in a position to fight abraham

    meanwhile abraham with the help of his zimmer frame , is now struggling to get over the bottim rope, arthritus setting in, beard gone grey, queing at busstops with his old age pension bus pass at the ready , telling anyone who will listen , that bob arum has promised he will surely face pavlik in 2038

    I also believe sturm might be tougher(no way beat kelly) cuz he will not stand and bang against kelly he would use his foowork and his boxing skills 2 try and beat him the way B-hop did. Sturm is a very tech boxer. but unlike hop he does not have the size 2 keep kelly off of him so eventually kelly puts him on the ropes and its over

    Disagree. If Pavlik beat Abraham and Williams beat Wright then that fight is set up big time. Don't think 'nobody would care' about that.

    Nobody cares about Sturm anyway, but a fight against Sturm (or Mundine, if he were to beat him) for all the belts could be hyped more than a fight against Sturm now.

    Abraham first is the only way to go, not least because it's dubious whether Abraham will still be able to make MW for much longer.

    Anybody think Rubio has the chance for the upset?

    Pavilik really literally got dominated in the ring. Not just that but as his first pro-loss. I don't think it would a long shot to say he may not be the same fighter right now.

    When this type of fighting happens between animals in mother nature and a young animal is dominated thoroughly and forced to submit to another, it can shake its confidence for a long while.

    I think Rubio is going to give as much as he takes and turn this into a slugfest. He's going to give Pavlik hell.

    Pavlik wants AA to move up or be weakened by struggeling with the weight. He is scared. I'm 100% sure KP-AA will not happen.

    Well, do you REALLY think Abraham's ability to make MW SHOULD be a consideration in Kelly's career?

    I've watched his last fight several times. He is a full level below Kelly. Just like Bhop realized early that Kelly wasn't going to be a match that night, I think Kelly is going to do the same thing against Rubio. Rubio is easy to hit and though he SEEMED to be able to take a good punch against Ornales, Kelly has a much heavier hand.

    Depending on punch resistance, this could be over as quick (or quicker) than Lockett, or maybe go as long as 8.

    I am 100% sure your location is your only real key to analyzing this. Like I said earlier, AA's ability to control his weight is not Pavlik's concern when it comes to his own career.
