AA officially moving to 68

good. im sick of waiting around, wondering if hell ever fight pavlik. now he can clean up on some good smws.

 

I think JT has the style to beat him..Ill type up my analysis later. AA working as slowly as he does will play right into JT's style.

 

Watch for him to follow the rest and move up if he wants to make serious money. If he doesn't then expect trilogies with Sturm, Zuniga and McKart with guys like Booradley fully supportive in failing PPV events that will make $1k buys.

 

Pavlik is a disgrace to the undisputed middleweight title. And people were hoping to see him bring the best fights. atsch

Only he knows why this happened, after all the guy got his ass handed to him by a 44 year old in a fight where he looked like a 66 year old desperately trying to double and triple the jab.

Now let's enjoy laughing our asses at him fighting Zuniga, McKart, Mora and Rubio unless Mayorga(a former opponent they considered, believe it or not) moves up or Williams decides to beat the hell out of him and rid us of this one dimensional no good fraud. A disgrace to the division.

 

This was sort of implicit earlier last week when the SMW tournament rumors began to solidify, no?

Was it expected that he would return to defend his title in 2011?

 

He already mentioned he has trouble making weight, that's nothing new and only then Pavlik's team showed interest in the fight, when he gave them the green light they immediately switched to Sturm or Mora. So Abraham is done waiting for this fraud and is better off moving up, there are countless big fights to make there if he can compete there like he does at middle.

 

Yep, head it ESPN.

 

Rumours has it that Pavlik was in the original set-up plans for the tournament. When he lost badly to Hopkins, Direll was invited instead.

 

:rofl That's just ridiculous.

 

It was mentioned on boxrec a few days ago. Can anyone confirm?

 

There's just no way in hell. Pavlik with one loss (let alone a loss to a bigger HOF) is still a far bigger and more brightly sparkling name than an undefeated Dirrell. There's no way the Showtime people or any of the organizers of this thing are that stupid.

 

I cant find the tread right now, but it was something about Pavlik's people being hesitant to enter and then with his loss they didn't care as much whether he was in or out.

 

Oh so it was Pavlik's camp? I'm still not sure that makes a ton of sense. They were more willing to enroll him in a tournament with the top super middleweights when he had a "0" to protect? :think I don't know...

 

I don't think anyone said he or his team has EVER been really keen on the idea. Neither before of after the loss. Just that after the loss and especially the way he looked in losing, they didn't press the matter because it became less of an issue whether he was in or not.

 

He himself didn't look terrible, when you factor in how bad Bernard makes anyone look.
