Official Kelly Pavlik VS Arthur Abraham Poll

I see, thanx for the info

 

Dead even after 130 votes...has Kellymania begun to subside a bit on ESB? :shock:

 

Perhaps people have recognized that there is another tough s.o.b. playing his game in the middleweight. Before the win against Miranda AA was unknown and overlooked I guess and now more and more people start to research him and what they find out is that AA is a dangerous opponent so that the outcome of a fight between these two is difficult to predict.

 

AA opponent Shannon Taylor tells me all I need to know about what happens when he fights KP. Shannon Taylor went 12 rounds with AA. Sandwiched between to KO losses. Shannon went the distance with AA and then is knocked out by Ian ****in MacKillop. LOL AA KO's KP??? NO WAY

 

Haha, that tells me you know **** about Abraham - it's amusing that people try to look at 3-4 fights of a fighter (regardless when they have happened) without setting them into context to the fighters career and his progress/regress. So I see no real base for your criticism...and this is coming from somebody who watched nearly all of AA's fights. (I have also watched about 7 fights of Pavlik to learn about the man and his progress :good)

 

That's more than 4 years ago, mate....:roll:

Ross Thompson went the distance against Pavlik in 2004...what does this say about the fight next year? NOTHING

 

You always decide which way fights are going to go by judgeing boxrec bud :think

 

Shannon Taylor has been ko'd MULTIPLE times by guys much smaller than AA. There is no disputing that. Yet he goes the full 12 with AA????? Can't argue that Ross Thompson didnt get ko'd by Kelly, but... he also didn't have to go a full 12 rounds. That bout was only scheduled for 8. At least Ross Thompson was a former titlist. Not some welterweight punching bag like Taylor.

 

The bout was 2 years ago "MATE"

 

I am certain I am far more qualified in the boxing world then you are. Without doubt.

 

Let get one thing str8. There are two versions of Edison Miranda. Version one was the confident undefeated version that nearly killed AA. GThe second version is the shell that's left after Kelly Pavlik beat the confidence and fight right out of him. He has not been the same since Kelly drained him.

 

Good post!:good But the one thing that bothers me is that you say AA has to stay very close to KP, so how is he supppose to land those long, looping haymakers he mostly throws & does his damage with? You need range to nail someone when you throw like that & I don't think AA is that great of an inside fighter. I haven't seen too much of him, but thats the impression I get.
