If I had to summarize tonight's upcoming fight best, I would say you're going to see something similar to last weekends Tarver/Dawson showdown. Dawson was the younger, stronger, and hungrier fighter. Same EXACT situation here; tonight it's Pavlik that's the younger, stronger, and hungrier fighter. Hop is going to show his age more than ever. He's going to hang in like the cagey fighter he is, but by round 4 people are going to be saying "It's time to hang em up".
Did Dawson come up 10 lbs in weight?Does Pavlik have Dawson's speed?or power?or foot work?or ring generalship?or is he a southpaw?
You're getting into semantics. I never said anything about Pavlik being similar to Dawson in the ring.
You mean apart from the fact that Dawson is a better 175 than Pavlik, Hopkins is better than Tarver and that the counterparts are nothing a like in style?
You don't get it, but that's ok. Here's a simple translation: Old man will get beat by the younger opponent. Last weekend: old man, was beat, by the younger opponent.
Be sure that Bernard will make it more close and won't be such a target for Pavlik who won't be moving his fat belly anything close to Dawson 's speed
Dawson is very, very fast and made Tarver be aggressive, which isn't his forte. Pavlik is not very fast and will be the aggressive fighter, opening himself up to counters. Dawson was also clearly physically bigger than Tarver, which Pavlik isn't compared to Hopkins. And BTW, Hopkins is a vastly superior fighter than Tarver, as has been proven.
LOL! That just ain't right. Well that's another story. Being a Peter fan you can imagine I'm pretty disappointed.
