Goosen/Williams are going to blow it AGAIN

Wright has face bigger punchers (Cough Trinidad) at 160 pounds and Trinidad couldn't even land 1 clean punch at Wright. Wright is not the same fighter but neither was Hopkins until Pavlik made Hopkins fight like the old Hopkins. Oh wait Pavlik was very sick going in that fight lol. Oh darn i forgot you put me on ignored.

 

I pretty much agree with this. Not sure on a straight knock out. But a stoppage of some sort.

 

Pavlik isn't a "one-punch KO" puncher. Pavlik doesn't need to land a particular shot and wipe you out all in one go. It's a Hagler-esque breaking down process. Pavlik backs Winky up with the jab, then bashes up his guard and just keeps busy. Eventually, Winky gets worn down and stopped. If not, he loses a lopsided UD.

Pavlik is a much more versatile fighter than people give him credit for. He's actually a very good body puncher. People don't realise this, because they probably only watched him fighting Jermain, where he only needed to do the one-dimensional jab-right hand thing. He only really landed one meaningful body shot in those two fights, which was at the end of the 11th in the second fight. But he can throw to the body, and he can smash your guard apart with hooks. He finished off Miranda with the sweeping, guard-busting left hook, and then the straight right hand. And this will cause Winky problems.

Pavlik outworks and wears down Winky. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this followed the fight pattern of Pavlik vs. Rubio.

 

Not sure at Middle that Trinidad is a harder puncher. P4p he is a harder more explosive puncher. but at 160 he only had 2 fights.(Prime)

 

Trinidad is also a very good body puncher and still he couldn't do anything to Wright. What Hopkins did to Pavlik was exactly like the way Hopkins easily beat Trinidad. And please don't even compare Rubio to Wright cause i promise you if Pavlik beats Wright, it wouldb't be close of what Pavlik did to Rubio. Style makes fights and Pavlik style is easily tailor made for Wright. I bet when Wright has the fight in the bag going in the 12th round, Loew will say to Pavlik (Double up the "Beep" jab!!!)

 

At 160 pounds Trinidad still has the power punch. Just ask Joppy when Tito destroyed him. Joppy was the long reigning middleweight champion prior to fighting Trinidad.

 

Pavlik is tailor made for Wright? Sorry, what? A big, rangy power puncher who fights at a pace close to PW's is tailor made for a short MW with minimal pop who covers up at the slightest sight of pressure?

I'd trust that bird in your avatar to make a better call on this fight.

 

Yeah i know all about Tito.

Joppy holding his head in his hand while being interview on HBO said:
"His power was devastating"


But he was a much harder puncher at 147 especially in his early 20's.

another thing is Trinidad was well past prime when he fought Winky.

 

I love it that you say about the Miranda fight, you know why? Cause you say Hopkins easily beat Pavlik cause Pavlik is injured and very sick but when Pavlik tko Miranda, Miranda wasn't way weight drain going in that fight? Hmmm.

 

To add to that: Another myth is that Pavlik is a slow robot. I remember catching one of his very early fights on some video site, and his hand-speed was really very good. He was rattling off 5, 6, 7 punch combinations in 1-2 seconds. I guess only now he's matured into a big puncher has he started to be more methodical and steady with his punches.

 

Only biased Pavlik nut huggers would think Pavlik isn't 1 dimensional.

 

Miranda didn't look bad in that fight. He was far more drained against AA -- apparently, he weighed 220 lbs (no joke) at the start of training camp for that fight.

 

Have you ever seen Pavlik fight?

The man just broke it down for you. Respect your elders.

 

Both those fights were on HBO. I'm sure most fanatics who post on this board watch at least the HBO fights. Only A very small few saw the Lockett fight b/c so little people watched it.
