I very much hope that AA vs Pavlik will really come off! You are right! If........if AA's camp truly has the hope that a fight with Pavlik can be staged ........a risky fight against a nobody wont be the best of choices. Well,Lorenzo is unknown as well as harmless.
Looks like the middleweight division requires you to have to have a cab drivers license before your allowed a title shot.
If everything works out according to the current plan, we'll get a nice build up to KP/AA. As far as I know Pavlik/Mora and Abraham/Lorenzo are scheduled for the same day. Arum plans to show Abraham/Lorenzo on tape delay during the Pavlik/Mora broadcast. Hopefully both guys score highlight reel KO's and come away looking like monsters to the average viewer. That will create a nice buzz around Pavlik/Abraham for November. However, Pavlik/Mora is not signed, and has not been "officially" announced. It looks like it will happen, but Pav has not signed. Arthur must put in a much better performance against Lorenzo than he did against Simon or else Wegner will not let Pavlik near him. Uli said that version of AA would have no chance against Pavlik, and he was right. Let's just hope AA gets his weight issue under control.
It doesnt really matter whether Pavlik will fight Mora or another soft target as long as Pavlik vs AA is truly in the pipeline. Yep! You are right! It will surely enhance the markebilty of their encounter if both AA and Pavlik look like" monsters" in their fights.:good
Not that Pavlik/AA couldn't break Mora/Lorenzo in half without training, but it's slightly worrying that these fight is still looking dubious when now's the time they should be heading into training camps; and particularly so for AA who's getting a bit chunky for the weight. More relevantly, given Abraham's dismal performance against Simon, I wouldn't encourage him to underestimate Lorenzo, his unaccomplished past aside.
No opponent should be underestimated in the ring,but I guess it is fair to say that Lorenzo is one of the more harmless top rated fighters out there.
Giovani won against a pretty good opponent. His only loss would've been a draw if he hadn't fouled. Anyway I like Abraham by Ko 6.
