Williams will stand Pavlik on his head. This isn't knee jerk reactions from last night.... I haven't seen it - I just don't rate Pavlik at all.
Firstly, in case you hadn't noticed, Pavlik's already got 2 fights booked for the rest of the year. Secondly, Pavlik is an expert at dispatching aggressive fighters. Yes, we all know there are doubts about his ability to handle slick counter-punchers, but anyone who's ever tried to trade with him gets worn down, gasses out around the middle rounds, and gets left slumped in a heap in the corner. Williams will get beaten up. He'll eat jabs, walk onto upper-cuts, get screwed with that straight right hand. It's a batte of two strong guys, and Pavlik is stronger and tougher. It'll be an exciting fight, but Pavlik will win in a late KO. This fight is just made for him.
I guaranteed Williams will beat Pavlik if they fight in the fall. Please Goosen, Arum, Hbo make it happen.
Nice call. I agree with you Pavlik-Williams will be a great fight. Two come forward guys that throw 1000 punches it has FOTY written all over it.
