Pavlik for me. Abraham has a fair KO chance but I see Pavliks pressure game wearing Abe down. Abraham need his 2 min break every round. Pavlik wont let him!
This is all a moot point if Abraham doesn't get past Miranda. If Abraham loses, then we'll probably see Pavlik move to 168.
I just dont think so. Things in 168 division is just to muddy right now. Pavlik will not move until somebody unifies at 168. He will need a high profiled money fight to do so. Kessler - Pavlik is a drooler for fans but Kessler has to make himself a common name in US at first.
Abe wont lose to Miranda. He will probably stop him this time. The more I think about it the more I think Abe can upset Pav. This is going to be a seriously great fight if it comes off. I still favour Kelly but it could end in tears for him.
I agree with you all the way. Abraham was handling Miranda easily until he got cocky in the first fight, he won't make that mistake again. Pavlik has to be a favorite against Abraham, but it wouldn't be a shock to see an upset. Abraham' tight guard is very difficult to penetrate, I don't think Pavlik's volume punching will help him there. Both fighters are very tough physical specimen, it should be an awesome fight.
