Why pick a SD Ishy? I've never understood the thinking behind that, either "close" or "clear". Picking UD or SD is just guessing how the 3 judges will votes rather than giving your pick on a fight. You can have wide SDs or close UDs.

Pavlik TKO

And to answer GazOC's post above, a SD simply indicates its close. Saying its close is probably more logical but...SD is shorter :yep

 

Pavlik/Williams is a fight I'm very interested in.I'd be tempted to pick PW UD but not overly confident in that pick.

 

I reckon Pavlik beats Williams unless Williams does something different. i.e. implements a lot more foot movement. He tends to stand right there and trade shots with opponents, it usually works because he's so unorthodox, taller than his opponent, and he just overwhelms them with volume.

Against Pavlik its different, Pavlik is a very long, tall guy, with more natural strength. If you watch the Miranda fight he just stands there and is quite happy to trade with Miranda, this was back when Miranda was fresh and he managed to push him back quite easily.

I think its pretty hard to get the better of him in a trading situation, and all evidence points towards that being the case.

 

I am. How did Pavlik last cope with someone who put the pressure on him? He got schooled! The only question is whether PW can take the power of a genuine 160lbr:think (forget the Winky fight, that's not an accurate measuring stick, IMO).

Yep, been there and done that. It seems pretty ****ing obvious to me but the GF being what it is.....atsch

Why not pick "Pavlik SD Williams but one of the judges for Pavlik got it wrong and it should have been a SD for Williams"...
