Why are people favoring Pavlik over Abraham?

This has been discussed ad nauseum.

The thread I gave you the link for was probably the single best KP/AA thread we've ever had. Check it out.

 

Is it dominated mostly by Ghost fans?

booradley's perspective might be a little suspect, j0hn0 :good

 

Do you read threads, or just scroll to the end and say something stupid.

Looks like a fairly even split to me.

 

I like Kelly cuz I think hes lanky enough to keep AA on the outside and he can pressure AA from the outside...AA isn't BHOP and he's not gonna school Kelly at all...As long as Kelly keeps the fight on the outside with hard punches thrown behind the double jab than I think he wins this fight!

 

Cuz pavlik has been in there with better competition than abraham. He beat taylor twice who was considered the best middleweight at the time.

 

Because Abraham takes time off during rounds, covers up and gives away points. He also seems to be going life and death with the 160 lb limit.

 

Did you notice how many times Simon split Arthur's guard, and snapped his head back with jabs? I'm asking because for a long time there was a legitimate debate over whether or not KP could splitt AA's guard with jabs. That debate is over now.

 

I think the weight is killing AA. Pretty even fight to me.

 

How do you guys think Pavlik will take AA's power?

 

Depends on how many times he uses the jab. If he doubles up? No chance.

But if he TRIPLES UP THE JAB then ho boy, Abraham is ****ed.

Don't go off one fight with Simon to gauge that. I don't think Abraham's guard is untouchable..but I've seen enough of his fights to know that getting through it is easier said than done.
