Abraham is going to be on Showtime for the second time. Are Pavlik and his team going to keep saying that Abraham needs more exposure or are they going to man up? I still dont think Pavlik and his team want the fight after Grampa Bhop outclassed Pavlik so badly.
**** this fight, It had it's chance. Team Pavlik is running out of steam as is the MW division. (Too much sitting around going down, SMW might follow in the same fate)
dude you are a pav hater, everytime someone brings his name up you act like someone punched your dog...and b/c of that you are also trashing bhop and you don't even realize it. "Grandpa Bhop" is in everyone's top 5 p4p...don't trivialize how good he is just cuz you don't like pav
Pavlik and his team have some up with pathetic bull**** like "Build yourself first", who else does Pavlik have in the division to ask for Abraham to build his self? These people are claiming Abraham is an unknown then a week later they're rumored to be considering Sergio Mora. Do they have better options to ask Abraham to be more popular? Think it's obvious they want no part of him after they considered a fight with Sturm.
not sure they want "no part of him", but i definitely think the hype is already there. im a huge pavlik fan, but i think this fight nds to be made, and the pavlik people know it.
pavlik i think will get beat , but am thinking that cause hopkins fight is still in his mind and mentally may not be ready for a tough fight.dont kill me just an opinion
Its not pav's fault. It's arums. Pav lost ALOT of steam after bhop embarassed him. And with his only claim to fame being taylor(whos career fizzled), we now see him for what he is. A very good fighter. NOt what arum was hyping him to be, arum was hyping him to be a legend or somthing. Now that the sham is over, arum needs to build hype up again, and abraham has too good of a chance to win. He wants to keep his mw champ, he dosent want pav to fight a guy that might take it from him, then arum will make like no money off pav
if pavlik beats abraham (more specifically, ko's him), all the hype is back with one fight, no need to build back up. all the work in 1/10 the time
im getting ****in tired of arum. pavlik should have had a big fight by now against abraham/sturm but he hasn't been able to do ****. it's ridiculous, he's in his prime and he's sitting on his ass...
There's NO CHANCE Pavlik would KO Abraham. Not with his defense and his chin. I do think Pavlik would outwork Abraham to a wide UD, but Abraham has one of the best beards in the sport and has a defensive style where he doesn't get hit much to boot.
fair enuf. but just saying, no need to delay this fight to build anything up. e-1 wants to see it. everyone knows that abraham is the 92394239523 lb gorilla in the room. make the fight.
Number 29 ranked Mahir Oral is a typical Abraham choice. Back when Jermain Taylor offered AA a fight, Sauerland said no, and they fought Sebastian Demers. When Zuniga was the rightful mandatory, Sauerland screwed Zuniga, and gave the fight to Elvin Ayala. When Winky wanted a fight, and there was a good chance of HBO putting it on, they chose LuJaun Simon. Right now Roman Karmazin is calling for Abraham's head, but Sauerland chose the less known, less skilled, and less dangerous Mahir Oral. Sauerland's current strategy is crystal clear. They run off at the mouth about Pavlik in order to keep Abraham's name in the public eye. You sure as hell couldn't keep him in the news by talking about Demers, Ayala, Simon, and Oral. Sauerland and Abraham have done a clever job of making Arum and Pavlik look like villians, but no one has been able to produce a single shred of concrete evidence that they ever made a legitimate offer to fight. A few press releases, or even a hundred press releases, do not constitute a legitimate fight proposal.
