It is very clear that Pavlik is not man enought to fight AA at MW. At least at SMW AA can fight Froch, Bute, or the Champion of the division Kessler.
Negotiations for Bute - Abraham are apparently well under way. Decision to be reached within the next ten days. The source is not super credible, but for what it's worth: http://www.berlinonline.de/berliner-kurier/print/sport/268258.html
The problem is that most managers and promoters try to play it safe with their fighters, and the fact that if the fighter by any chance gets completely destroyed he won't generate as much money anymore has of course something to do with that. But this is just the way it is, fighters rarely duck fighters, mostly their handlers do.
Pavlik aint scared of abraham. It has more to do with his promoter. Pavlik has fought taylor x2-Miranda and hopkins. The guy will face anybody just give him a chance.
The fight with Hopkins was not a fight. Pavlik was beatn so easily it was pathetic. AA has called this guy out on national for a year of more.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! I always knew arthur is a ballsy guy, but BUTE for his debut at 168!!!!!! WAR ARTHUR!:happy
I just don't see AA taking this. Slow paced fight with Bute sticking and moving. AA will be on the other end of a home town decision for a change.
Hermit I agree with you, but as a HUGE pavlik fan you are, you have to agree arthur is obviously going for the top 3 at 168? A lot of people, including boo was saying he fights balszay or someone like that.
I'm Done! with Pavlik Vs. Abraham. AA should to move on up to the SMW show. (Pavlik needs to make it to him now)
