The current middleweight scenario

I just want to post something about because I found some interesting infos in the German media.

The main point here is:

Taylor will fight Pavlik (nearly a done deal)

Abraham will fight Gevor (also close of being a done deal, most likely 8.18.)

Sturm will fight Griffin (UBP wants to shift the bout to mid October)

So this is the initial position.

Here are the important infos:
If Taylor wins against Pavlik it is said that he will unify with Abraham at the end of '07 given that AA wins vs. Gevor.
If Pavlik wins against Taylor it is said he will fight Sturm in early '08 given that Sturm wins vs. Griffin.

 

I like Kelly over Taylor, he is not scared to committ..

Taylor has let himself down in his last 2 fights..

Lack of desire to earn his cash...........

 

The middleweight division is real interesting right now...here is what I think will happen:

Pavlik TKOs Taylor and Taylor decides to move up to super middleweight
Abraham TKOs Gevor
Sturm UDs Griffin

Pavlik TKOs Abraham late and moves up to super middleweight
Abraham rematches Miranda and stops him
Abraham and Sturm fight for Sturm's belt and Abraham wins making him the man at middleweight

 

Pavlik is gonna move up to super middleweight...He already said that...

 

i want pavlik to beat taylor badly taylor has been boring latly and has lost his hunger

 

Out of those three fights Sturm vs Griffin is probably the least interesing one.Griffin is a decent boxer,but Sturm should win that fight quite easily.
Pavlik vs Taylor could go either way,but I for my part tend to bet my money on Taylor.
Abraham vs Gevor could be a true war -pure fun to watch.Gevor,the Armenian warrior is an extremely entertaining and exciting fighter who can make the water very hot for his compatriot Abraham.
Nevertheless I will put my money on Abraham by late stoppage or close point decision.

 

After Winky beats up Hopkins. He will go after Oscar. If he can't get Oscar, he's going to fight the winner of Taylor/Pavlik.....and take HIS title from them.

 

Problem is that Hopkins will beat Wright...

 

sure he will

 

I see it going this way if Pavlik can stay's at middle

Pavlik KO's Taylor
Abraham out points Gevor
Strum out points Giffin

Pavlik KO's Abraham
Pavlik KO's Sturm
Pavlik KO's Winky
:deal

 

Winky is way too polished, experienced and skilled to get KO'd by Pavlik. :deal

 

Winky has the perfectly wrong style against Pavlik.

Puttin on the ear muffs isnt going to help against Pavlik's power, and Winky, to be effective of late, either has to push forward, or stand in the pocket. His days of moving effectively laterally have passed.

Same goes for Abraham.

 

Pavlik KO himself.

 

I agree. Stylistically, Pavlik is a nightmare for Winky. He throws straight shots with so much power that either A) they will break right through his guard or B) they will hit his guard and still hurt Winky anyways. Winky uses his mitts for his head protection instead of good head movement, which isn't the best for a fighter who throws extremely powerful straight punches.

Not that Winky couldn't win, hell, Winky Wright is a great fighter. Just that Pavlick could give him absolute fits.
