Abraham looked very bad in his last fight I think. He's not world class. Pavlik's power will be to much for Abraham. And no point in fighting Miranda again? I don't think Hopkins will be interested in fighting Pavlik - to be honest. So either Taylor (if Taylor can get ready mentally for a rematch) or the winner Calzaghe-Kessler on Nov. 3rd. :bbb
pavlik needs to whoop Abrahams ass just to shut up his supporters that put him in the league as the two titans tonight. He is the one that got the crap beat out of him and jaw broken by miranda...Pavlik would dislocate that thing again..he has an ass whooping coming if he is even interested. But he would probably stay in germany fighting Ghevor or Grover or whatever the **** his name was.
Abraham is a protected fighter holding his belt for hostage, he isnt coming to the States even if they offered him 10 mill, the same goes for Sturm. Pavlik should call out Winky and Knock his ass out.
I love it as haters of German-based fighters talk as if AA is only a C-level fighter...wait and see as AA would be a tough matchup for Kelly. Btw, I think Kelly will square off vs. Jermain in an immediate rematch - and he shouldn't think about fighting the winner of JC-Kessler, both would beat him by wide UD...
Pavlik will rematch with Taylor at a higher weight, but win or lose he'll have the 160 belt. Pavlik has stated he wants to stay at 160 for a while. I don't see Hopkins coming down in weight at this point in his career, and Winky's gotten a lot slower. While I hate to say it I see, a lesser known for his next 160 fight before taking on Abraham in the fight after that one.
Abraham and Sturm are the other two top MW's with belts. Pavlik should fight one of them. Abraham is the most dangerous MW. Abraham is for real, he hits very hard, has a great chin, has a huge heart. Anyone that discredits him is foolish.
Word is that Pavlik will make his first defense at MSG in NYC on the eve of St. Patrick's Day...against John Duddy
