You have to love the timing on this one. Everyone knew that Arum and Dunkin were waiting until Abraham couldn't make weight anymore. Now that he cannot they are dangling out the fight for a few months after the first public acknowledgement by team Abraham that he has to move up. This isn't a real offer, it is a joke.
Yesterday abraham said he's moving up, because he can't make 160 anymore. Today he said he feels great at 160. (Sources for the conflicting statements are Fight News and Boxing Scene.) On June 9th Cameron Dunkin, KP's manager, said Pavlik/Abraham is a priority. On June 23rd Abraham said he's moving to 168 because he is drained at 160. On June 24th Abraham said he has no problem making 160. It seems that Arthur is full of ****. Do a little research.
Everyone but you seems to realize that Abraham has had trouble making 160 for awhile now, or did his Holocaustian appearance at weighins not give that away?
According Abraham and Sauerland Arthur has no problem making 160. Posted on fight news today. Like I said, next time do a little research. Abraham only has trouble making 160 when you mnetion Pavlik.
lol, now Pav's fans are using the ole June 9, June 24th defense:rofl. Never mind that Pav's team is considering the Sturm fight. AA made the decision to move up once he heard Pav-Sturm could become a reality. AA called out both men, and now they might fight each other leaving AA to wait or get beat lol...:dead
ARR, Brad wants us to believe that AA is scared of Pav lol... Can you believe that lol...:rofl:rofl:rofl
I don't believe that either fighter is scared of the other. Abraham isn't scared of Pavlik and Pavlik isn't scared of Abraham....what we have are two promotional companies being stupid and costing the fans a massive fight.
Man Kelly must be a god. Beating all of these guys. I am sorry but I do not see it that way at all. Kelly is worse off at 168, every time he has fought someone decent above 160 he has looked mediocre. Kessler and Bute beat him rather easily, he is slower than both, not as versatile, and both can crack. Andrade provides for an interesting matchup, similar styles. Might be 50/50.
Kessler and Bute would beat Pavlik. I think they'd beat Abraham as well. Edit: Meant Abraham not Andrade. Not I got Librado on the brain.
Front Page News. It remains to be seen whether Abraham will move up to super-middleweight after the fight. We will discuss it after Saturday, Sauerland added.
