    Kelly may have beaten a tomato can that can take a good shot, but he unleashed a great lead left-hook, kept up a nice body attack and showed an improved ability to slip punches and showed more upper-body movement than any previous fight. He's learned his lesson and is improving. Foot movement looked better as well. Abraham is in trouble if he dares fight Pavlik!

    Everything I've read says that Sturm, Abraham and Pavlik are all booked up for a while...and before you ask, they're all fighting different opponents and not one another.

    Maybe one day?

    Takes Rubio's heart?

    :rofl He was stiff as a board and filling his boots as soon as the bell rang for the announcements.

    Just another nights work for the middleweight champion of the world. Next he gets to put Abraham on his ass in the late rounds for another title defense.

    :patsch

    I'm not even sure it was available in the UK. I watched a perfect quality stream instead.

    Oh, and good job listing the new "skillz" he showed. :good

    He didn't show anything new.

    Abraham decapitates him.

    Tonight's version of Pavlik would have been a nice light snack for Arthur.

    Abraham might have a good chin but I don't know how solid his ribs are. Marquez hurt him to the body and he needed the ref to help him recover. With Abraham's high guard, Pavlik sure will have openings to test his guts.

    Easier said than done. He needs one more fight where he tunes up and applies lessons from the Hopkins fight. Then he will have improved since Hopkins. If Pavlik can do the right things in the gym and in tuneups, the Hopkins fight will have made him a much better fighter.
