Pavlik to fight Williams according to the local news.

Ah, another in our fortnightly series entitled "Pavlik is going to fight...."

 

Kelly was grossly misquoted in the vindy article. This is another reason he wants the winner of the tourney.

 

For his families sake I hope the same PW doesn't show up that fought Quintana the 1st time. CQ hit him wth every overhand he threw, if that's KP the thin man will be in serious truble. Pw does look good when he can dictate what happens in the ring. When he fights KP he will be the smaller man for the first time, we'll see how he reacts being pushed around. ALl the talk that KP is avergage t everything is crazy (BHop fight aside) He wonn 100 amatuer fights, nationlm championships and mde the Olympic trials at 17-You can't be that average a boxer with that pedigree! Thats not to say that every great amater equates to a good pro, but coupled with his pro accomplishments it does.
KP often makes fights harder than he needs to (Zuniga,Miranda) If he is physical with PW he wins by KO.

 

ahh this is gonna be a good lead up if this is true b/c pwilly's big fans like wwm are good posters imo :good

i will say this...pwilly is gonna get caught flush and get caught flush more than a few times. its not a matter of if but how many times. i agree pav can be wobbled but im not sure pwilly can keep pav off of him. that will be more telling in this fight than whether pwill can take pav's power. bhop hit pav w/ everything but the ringpost and bhop was weighing 180ish on fightnight and pav still didnt stop coming forward.

so my question for you, wwm, is whether pwill can still execute his gameplan under the type of pressure pav will apply?? i agree w/ you its also a question mark whether paul can take pav's punches but i think he'll get pressured more in this fight than he ever has in his career so i wonder how he will react and how that will affect his gameplan. b/c after the beating pav took from bhop, i think its safe to say pav has been hit w/ much more (harder) than pwill is gonna throw so i think its safe to say that pav is gonna be moving forward no matter what paul throws or how much he throws.

 

Would be an awesome fight. To be honest i just wish Pavlik would get his arse back in the ring with someone of note, at his age and with his entertaining qualities its a shame that he hasn't been matched well of late.

 

damn I would even buy this one
I want williams to win but pavlik I can see winning it too
if PW wins, I'll be a few dollars richer. I wanna see kirkland back on the scenes and him and PW fight

 

i don't think pwill is just gonna "die" either but i also don't think he will be able to take pav's "best punch" all night long. paul is gonna get hit w/ flush rights more than just occassionally. either way, this is gonna be a helluva lot of fun to watch. and like i said above, if this is true, the lead up on here is gonna be a blast b/c pwill's big backers are good posters.

 

oh i agree herm. i just also think the pressure pav would apply will be just as important as his power. paul will never have been hit as hard or pressured as much. yeah paul throws a ton of punches but he's never fought someone who will walk through it like pav will.

 

the reason I kinda favor PW in this matchup is because of his output and activity and also similar to the way hop had the blueprint for tito via the ODLH fight, PW has somewhat of a blueprint
the thing I worry about is PW's punch resistance at that weight
I think that if pavlick can develop a bit more with movement and defense before they fight, he stands a good chance of TKO'ing PW, but thats a big IF
