Pavlik - Abraham?

Tom I would suggest you watch the Ikeke fight. Kingsley is 6'4, 2 inches taller than Pavlik with a similar style. The reason Abraham won, was because he was jumping in and out of range and keeping Ikeke off balance while landing his own bombs. This is what Abraham will have to imploy to win the fight against the Ghost. As much as I respect Abrahams ability, I honestly dont believe he can win against Pavlik if he trys to slug it out with him. He has to use his boxing ability and cleverness.

 

watch the miranda fight, watch the ikeke fight!!

footwork and precise counterpunching is abrahams biggest strength.

this would be 50/50 imo.

 

Heres a video of what im talking about. Notice how abraham shortens the distance by moving in fast, landing his punches and getting out before Ikeke is able to throw. You could see it throughout the video. He has a great mastery of range and this will be his tool to victory.

I know, I know - thanks for the reminder...Abraham must have been very sloppy in his last fight because I haven't seen those assets in his last 2 fights...

@bum: who come you see this fight 50/50, I thought you can't stand AA...

 

His foot work is not conventional by any means, but still highly effective. When his figting a puncher he impolys it alot, but when his fighting boxers or fighters who are no threat he just covers up and takes them. I doubt hill do that against Pavlik though.

 

you nuts????

i cant stand sturm. AA is my favorite middleweight!!!

 

True..it depends on the opponent.

 

Tonight was a great night of boxing, it made up for all the cancellations this month. Im happy for Pavlik, his a good kid and deserved the win. Alright guys, ima hit the bed, goodnight.

 

Oh sorry, it seems that I mixed you up with that clown toopretty...

 

:good

 

pavlik wins. pavlik has too long a reach, high work rate, great power > AA fights in spurts, tends to go to a shell, good power. i dont know why some of you are questioning pavliks chin. yeah he went down in the second but how many flush shots did it take to bring him down? taylor tough not a one shot KO artist can crack with the right, and was tagging pavlik flush with hooks on the way down.

 

i don't know who wins, i don't care who wins... i just wanna see it. what i definetely don't wanna see is a rematch against taylor. i thought taylor would win, i had him ahead, i even think he could win the rematch, but first i wanna see some more slugfests, and i'm not sure taylor/pavlik will be able to live up to its expectations.

pavlik vs abraham go!!

 

50:50 fight!! It would be a great war!

 

Yep like a little Tyson but with more will.

 

Pavlik by UD or late TKO
