Pavlik usually gets guys from outside youngstown for sparring but its possible that they worked together in the past
I let my dislike for Pavlik and my rivarly with his fans adversely impact on my judgement. I'm glad my dislike for him has been justified in his recent tirade, but objectively I have to say he beats the Abraham thats struggling putting less than stellar opposition away. Pavlik puts him on the end of his jab to a decision. Pavlik is too tough to get KO'd.
Lara had Boone hurt that round(to the body), but I don't think he's going to get him out of there. Maybe if he had 10 rounds.
Boone is a classic case of a guy that probably didn't get many breaks in his career as far as promotion and management, lost a few times in tough company, and lost his desire for the sport. He's clearly got plenty of ability, this guy shouldn't have 11 defeats on his record.
