To Pavlik fans...Getting shut out is not an accomplishment.

You've got it about right with this. There's no reason a Pavlik/Abraham fight could not be built up using existing tape, and a good press tour. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the way things work these days. I'm not sure about the European markets, but HBO and Showtime seem to want to cash in on big name fighters, but they rarely seem willing to invest much in building the very stars they want to profit from.

 

True, but it happened at 2:30 of the 12th freaking round. Tell me with a straight face that cat would see the end of 5 against KP.

 

the only thing that's garbage is this thread. what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

 

Abraham looked like **** against the type of fighter Pavlik destroys. That's Kelly's fault, of course. I thought you knew!

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl all fighters deserve respect. all the hate on this board is a ****in joke.

 

And your point here is ?

AA fights to the level of his opposition.

The only thing that matters is how Pavlik does against AA.



Which we may or may not ever get to see.



BTW, your comments about AA fans:

Have you ever heard the term: Kettle calliing the pot Blackass ?


You and Hermit (and I'm assuming that's two posters) take the concept of fandom (notice I avoided the term NUTHUGGERY) to a new level.

 

Nope.

Not yet.

I was watching the Khan Barerra bout.


However, regardless of how it went down, it won't affect things too much.


Neither AA nor Pavlik sparkle especialy, unless they are facing serious opposition.

Until they face each other, we won't know.


BTW, I see this fight as a 50/50.


A 51/49 at most.

 

I rarely bother to read any of your posts, but that line above caught my attention.

#1. THAT is not the mark of a champion.

#2. He can not fight to Pavlik's level because he is nowhere near good enough to fight at that level.

 

I can understand not wanting to get your asss handed to you dude, so no problem there.

As for #2, we'll only ever know if Pavlik deigns to fight Abraham.

A fight that I have repeatedly stated could go either way.

If it goes 12, Pavlik would actually be the slight favourite.






BTW, we both know you read ALL of my posts when they're on a Pavlik or AA or Calzaghe thread.

That accounts for about 10 % of my activity and about 90 % of yours !

 

Pavlik was schooled by Hopkins. He admitted it. But getting schooled by Hopkins is counts in learning experience. Hopkins IS better on the resume, win or lose. The OP can't accept that Pavlik has the better resume.

 

Oh please. He came out of his shell against Marquez only because he knew Marquez couldn't hurt him. Abraham/Miranda was really a contest of who landed first. AA fights to AA's level. Deal with it.

 

Miranda landed first in the first fight.

He ****ed up Abraham's jaw pretty good.

In round four.

And yet he almost got KO'd by AA in round 9.

A contest of who landed first.

What pitiful analysis !


Pavlik and his team are nervous about facing this Eurobum.

Deal with it !

 

Tonights version of AA, which looked pretty much like he always does, would not have seen the 10th round against BHop. Kelly was sick, injured, and put in the worst performance of his career when he fought Bernard, and he still kept trying right up to the final bell. Whether Arthur's fans want to admit it or not, KP deserves a lot of credit for that.

 

I just rewatched Abraham/Miranda I the other day. I counted 4 times that the referee said "it's a TKO." Your girlfreind lost that fight. Corruption, and a lot of illegal help from the ringside doc pulled him through. Pavlik ****ing destroyed Miranda to the point where he has not been the same since, and he needed less than 7 rounds. Live with it.

 

Sure thing, dude.

Bernard hasn't stopped a soul in nearly five years (A former 130 lb champion, fighting well North of his best weight).

And Arthur has never come close to being stopped, even against a bigger hitter than Bernard, and with a broken jaw for eight rounds.

But BHop would have stopped AA?

You're analysis gets better with every post (That's both of you).

Sure he does.

He needs to get credit for a 120-108 performance, a performance where he promised to stop the old warrior.


Ever consider a career at RING magazine ?
