Pavlik ATG status ....

No way, Bute T/KO. You will see.:hey

 

Yuh-huh. Bute will do it.

 

Arum changes his mind more than my wife. The good thing is he is looking ahead and thinking. Also lets him play people against each other. Lockett got this fight by being the LOW BID.

 

whaa?

 

So then Calzaghe's win over Bhop was meaningless, no?

 

He restated that he will be out at 30 recently.

 

Truth. Pavlik was lined up to fight Duddy at Madison Square Garden. Duddy was offered good money because he has a big fan base. Lorenzo? Rubio? and someone else wanted the same money they had heard was offered Duddy even though they couldn't sell a ticket to their own mother. Lockett got the fight because he would do it for less and was number one by WBC? Whichever. But that is the story. At least as I remember it.

 

Bute will TKO Andrade.

Andrade swallows up straights for breakfast, he sees them coming and he can bow his chin into them.

What Kessler can't throw is the hook with any conviction or power. Bute's best punch in my view is his left hook, he's also not bad with his lead right hook.

I see this being a TKO/Stoppage for Bute.

 

Duddy had his face torn up quite bad in his last fight and had to take some time out for healing, I also think his management team realised that putting him in with Pavlik is not something he's ready for just yet.

 

Taylor arguably fought his two best fights ever against Pavlik, especially in the 2nd fight. Taylor is inconsistent but his A game is quite good.

Pavlik is 26 years young. 33-0 with 29 KO's. It's certainly silly and premature to compare him with the ATG middleweights, but to write him off as never being able to attain ATG status is even more inane.

 

Since Calzaghe knocked out B-Hop out in the 10th and won 9/10 rounds there were no questions left unanswered, no?

 

Amsterdam says Taylor is ****. So, by his reasoning, Cal's win over Bhop was ****.

 

That kind of exactitude comes back to bite you when your fighter doesn't win any more convincingly against B-Hop who had clearly declined since he fought Taylor.:yep

 

I will give that I think the ref was **** in that fight. At some point you have to deduct points for all of the hugging and fight avoidance. Looked for all the world like a man that didn't want to be there to me.

 

Thank You, I would have been less eloquent to say the least
