Pavlik - Abraham?

Great matchup, I pick Pavlik by late TKO.

 

Well Sturm should avoid him but I dont think Abraham will.

Lets see; Winky is calling out Oscar, Bernard is calling out Calzaghe, and Calzaghe is calling out Pavlik.

Pavlik would definately make more money fighting Calzaghe but wouldn't Calzaghe or Kessler make more money fighting Hopkins? Maybe not now.

 

I would say his promoters wouldnt allow that but Abraham would fight everyone.

 

Abraham UD. I dont think Pavlik will be able to with someone with great defence and power.

 

BTW, this is the next big Middleweight fight that needs to take place.

 

Miranda didn't kick AA ass - AA was just smart after the jaw breaking experience...

btw, Pavlik might win via UD, but I can't see him KOing AA...

 

Pavlik wins by KO. It simply boggles my mind that Abraham barely wins a war with Miranda, and is still considered by many to be better than Pavlik. These are the same people who claim that Miranda was overrated to justify their own claims about Pavlik.

Pavlik is a great fighter who is not yet elite, but Abraham is protected for a reason. Pavlik has a 90.6% KO rate, eliminating 11 of his last 12 fighters by TKO, so if he wins, chances are its going to be by KO.

Abraham relies on hooks to damage his opponents, to a much greater degree than straight shots. Pavliks defence is bad against straight shots, but good against hooks. Abraham has never been in a fight against an opponent who throws good, straight power shots at a busy rate.

The high number of people stating that Abraham will win is due to a combination of Euro hype, sour grapes, and a knowledge of the fact that Abraham's promoters would never let him fight Pavlik (so they won't have to eat crow).

I hope this fight is made next - if it is, Pavlik will continue to pad my vcash pockets.
