ESPN2 FNF: Kelly Pavlik vs. Scott Sigmon & Jesse Magdaleno vs. Carlos Valcarcel RBR

He won with a lot of will. The Muranda fight was a slugfest,Taylor traded with him. He didn't beat a skill guy on his way up, still hasnt. Made for some must watch tv, though.

 

This and I would add Dirrell too. Any of those could be intresting, especially AA.

 

Yep, and pretty well spoken too.

 

Other than Pavlik letting Sigmon squash into him, I think he looked pretty good. He really should have known after the 3rd that Sigmon was just coming in to try and take away his power by pressing into him. So Kelly's footwork could have been a good bit better; at least try to keep some distance and hit the guy with the power shots.

Much better than the Jaco fight at least...

 

:huh Hmm? I don't know anyone who really rates him much in his current condition and in an all-time sense, really rates him much at all, as in for middleweight champions or what have you. I like him and I think historically he's proven to be maybe a B+ level guy at his absolute best, as far as champs go. Which is pretty damned good, but nothing great. Who's doing the regarding and what's the regard we're talking about?

 

I think Dirrell dominates Pavlik. Too much speed and footwork. Plus Dirrell is every bit as long as Pavlik.

 

Who are you, and what have you done with IB?

 

Andre Dirrell would easily dominate Pavlik

 

I disagree with most on the board - I felt sleepy and bored throughout the broadcast, never even waited to hear Kelly. But I gat it, he has gone through Alcohol rehab and he's already 30 years old. But his body language, the way he didn't control the pace but let it flow, either way, he wants to get back to his old pace and put rounds in the bag or he has no chance whatsoever against the top fighters out there and he probably will realize it. Teddy sayin that he needs a couple of more fights and then face a good contender is ultimate BS that we r used to hear from this guy...
