Kessler in a great war. I see any fights between Pavlik, Kessler and Abrahams being brutal. Kessler beats them both though as he is naturally bigger and could quite easily fight at light heavy.
Pavlik should clean up the middle weight then go up to SMW in a few years. BUT Pavlik will get KTFO by Abraham
Pavlik needs to stay at MW until he gets some defense and learns to do a few tricks. I think he just got used to overpowering guys so he had no reason to fight any other way. Kessler is probably the most powerful SMW in the world. When he was beating on that tomato can Haussler he beat him up just with a jab till he knocked him out. I can't remember a guys face looking that bad just from a jab.
Abraham is more like a SMW. He is most likely a bit too technically sound for Pavlik at the moment as well as the bigger man. Pavlik is taller but Abraham is bigger physically and stronger I think.
Lmao! Ghengis was a bad ass. He would have his 40,000 horses trample Pavlik then spit on his prone body and shortly after go take over France like he always wanted to lol.
Neither fighter is comfortable going backwards. Neither has great defense (Kessler's is better than Pavlik's). Both stand up straight and walk forward. This fight could be closer than people think. Pavlik still has a high punch output, and Kessler doesn't have the ring savvy to neutralize that offensive attack (He is Not Hopkins or a Calzaghe). Kessler, likely by tko late, but it won't be a cakewalk.
Kessler probably UD, but Kessler is no Hopkins... we have two straight line fighters here... p4p Pavlik is the harder puncher...
