It'll never happen, but Winky fresh off a win over Williams vs Pavlik with Abraham/Sturm as the co-feature would provide the pefect back drop for Pavlik/Abraham.
I just hope Abraham and Pavlik just figth already so they can move up and stop killing themselves making weight.
No -- they don't pan out. Arum already had this idea before HBO rejected Pavlik/Rubio the first time, which was last year. In my opinion HBO has no ****ing clue how to promote boxing.
HBO is promoted by GBP and Arum don't has the power to change that - Why do you think Top Rank did so much non-HBO PPV's, because they didn't got a date/spot by HBO. 3-4 years back it wouldn't have been a problem but GBP in my eyes tries to monopolise boxing in the US and with a monopol the problems will come. Just take a look back in time when the NYSAC ruled all over the Eastcoast back in the 1920's. Corruption was said and done without problems...
I think he is refering to AA getting the flu right before the Marquez fight, and post poning for a month. Smart move by AA. Look what happen to KP when he didn't post pone and fought sick. I'm not saying Kelly would have won, but he damn sure would have performed better. Mainly, the two situations stand in stark relief to each other. One fighter did the right thing, the other let his balls do his thinking, and the results are clear!
Pavlik wears his opponents down with aggression and accumulaton ... but Abraham can change the course of the fight with one punch power. I don't think he's a class fight but he can fight and he's strong and most of all he's confident.
