KP knocks out Espino calls out PW

No "wearing down" needed. Williams has been rocked by one or two punches. All it takes is one right hand down the pipe.

 

Did you get to see the fight? Very odd for a Pavlik fight. KP probably did not throw more than 15 jabs over four and a half rounds. The entire fight was a pretty brutal and fairly one-sided affair fought "on the inside." KP used mostly uppercuts and short left hooks.

 

How convenient, I want a Martinez rematch let Pavlik get in line.

 

No suggestion in the slightest in Scar's post that Pavlik is afraid of Williams. IMO Pavlik side stepped Williams by asking for another delay to their December 5th fight; it then transpires that Williams looks less than formidable against Martinez and gets a contested decision.

Pavlik fights his "confidence booster" against Espino, looking good en route to a stoppage and then calls out the not so convincing Williams. Styles make fights, and I pray that William's people sign on the dotted line quickly. Pavlik is tailor made for William's style; William's chin can be checked.

I'll go out on a limb - Williams by unanimous decision.

 

Unfortunately no. They didn't show it over here. (I'm still scanning the internet for some way of getting hold of it. Hope that won't get me banned.)

Granted, Espino is hardly stellar opposition, but at least it does something to debunk the myth that Pavlik can only throw a straight 1-2.

 

hmmmm...interesting....KP vs PW....who will win?

 

This still doesn't make any sense. If Pavlik didn't want to fight Williams, why did he sign for the fight? Why did he ask for the fight to be made in the first place, when HBO had given him four other options for a guaranteed date and a sizeable purse? It was KP that dreamed this fight up, nobody else: Arum and Dunkin sure as hell didn't want it, and Goosen was making ridiculous demands and virtually pricing himself out.

Pavlik is tailor-made for Williams' style? What, a big, tall Middleweight that comes forward and drops up to 100 bombs per round is the perfect opponent for someone who wears his guard around his ankles?

 

When some other opponents tried to stay right in Kelly's chest and force an inside fight, KP found a way to open the distance. Not this time. He just stayed belly to belly with Espino and beat him down. The first round was competetive, but the rest of the fight really wasn't. However, Espino is a bit better than I expected, and the kid has a huge pair of balls.

 

I'm glad he didn't do a Rubio and realise after the first round that he was in deep **** and that he was just going to run and guard the whole fight. This way Pavlik scores a nice KO. And it reinforces the fact that anybody who fights off the front foot against KP isn't seeing the final bell!

I must find this fight somewhere.

 

Why aren't all PW fans amped for this?

 

Probably because they saw Pavlik hit an average sized, and very agressive, middleweight with upper cuts that would have torn PWilly's face off.

 

And off the mark. Such idiocy is too much. You guys need to learn to read something than hate posts and getting your 'information' that way. Really, you look like ******s.

 

Seen it now. I loved the bit where KP adopted the Philly Shell in Round 5 and slipped 9 punches in a row. :smoke

 

Martinez beat him up once and will do so again. What would be the point?

 

I just posted a highlight vid that shows KP's defense pretty well. Espino was not landing much at all. In addition, KP really did not look good in the first round, but as the fight wore on you could almost see the rust falling to the canvass.
