Bad, bad matchup for Pavlik. He CANNOT fight backing up....goes into a crossed arms defence that is impossbile to counter from. Ward will back him up, cut him up, and TKO him late. Pavlik will have his moments early on, but it's a lost cause.
Solid post, and I agree with most of it. However, the general hypocrisy of 99% of the so called "hardcore fans" on ESB disgusts me on an almost daily basis. I really wanted Pavlik to jump all over the Rodriquez fight, but Pavlik wants Ward, and Garcia and Cameron Dunkin advised Pavlik to take the Ward fight rather than screw around with a guy like Rodriguez. If you watch a few of those Eli Sechbach vids on You Tube, it quickly becomes apparent that Garcia is pretty damn high on Pavlik. Right or wrong Robert seems to be a true believer, and Dunkin has never steered Pavlik wrong. (It wasn't Dunkin or Arum that came up with the Hopkins fight. They wanted him to fight Rubio. That **** was all on Kelly.)
Pavlik quits by the 10th after losing all but maybe one round. Different class of fighters here. Even in his prime, Pavlik would be no match for Ward. Keith
:rofl This has to be the most dumbest **** I've read in a while...So in other words, you're simply hoping and wishing that it would happen. No facts, just bias, hateful opinion. Keep on hating hater! Gonna be fun watching you ***** in moan in the near future!:good
This. Though I'd prefer for him to have one more tune-up before stepping up like this, I fully expect him to rise to the occasion and give everyone a great fight. I'm not ready to predict a KP victory just yet, but I do expect him to surprise a lot of people and give everyone a great fight.
chill out will you. bulletproof was defending wards chin saying he's only been down once, which is the same amount that hagler had been down. the point i was making was that it was a stupid comparison. hagler had a jaw made out of rock, whereas ward doesn't look to be all that strong in that department. his style is built around protecting his chin. that's why i came back with the jones comment. he'd only been down the once too, but had a chin made out of pure glass. i'm not saying ward has a chin as bad as jones had, but it's definitely not solid. yes, i do hate ward. and i can't wait for the day that the cheating little scumbag gets knocked out cold, but i wasn't claiming that in my post, just making a point. which stands. so keep your panties on for **** sake. :good
Ward would win every second of every round total joke fight Pavlik has achieved exactly ZERO at 168. In fact does he even have a meaningful win since Taylor.
You telling me to keep my panties but yet, you're the one who typed this long winded post! I'm loving how you flip your insure, bias rant on me like I'm the one who's making **** up! just dont stress yourself out hater when Ward keeps winning...thats about the only thing you bitchass dudes can do is only wish and hope for his downfall...I know it burns your sorry ass up that Ward is killing your best fighters...Deal with it!:yep
so then what makes your argument in any way, shape or form valid when you have such a tremendous bias against him? whats the point of your perspective when your judgment pertaining too him is clouded by your hatred?
it seems to me that you are very sensitive. when someone makes a valid point that's not even criticising ward, you come over all defensive. what's wrong?
