Pavlik is back!!!!!!!!

You're just pissed off because the arse fell the **** out of your prediction.

 

Well done Pavlik. It's good to this guy is getting his amazing flow back.

 

Hence the words 'in a few years'.

N'Jikam is still a short of top-level experience, but he looks to have all the tools to do very, very well for himself.

Speed of hand and foot, slickness, power, laser-like right hand, an excellent left hook, very nice technical skills. The only things he's done wrong at this stage is rushed looking for the stoppages when he's had his opponent down and hurt, and getting a little cocky and dropping his hands as he moves away and getting caught a few times here and there.

You seem to be acting like Pavlik is unbeatable. Listen, the guy is very good at what he does, and that's fight at mid-range. He's got a good array of punches and accumulative power. But he's still very one-dimensional. You keep him inside or outside and not at mid-range and take away his jab like Hopkins did, and he's clueless.

 

Okay Tommy -- this makes two posts in one day where you claimed Pavlik prefers to fight at mid-range. That is utter non-sense, and you have now shown yourself to be one of the morons who can watch a fight and afterward have no idea what you just saw. Pavlik uses his height and reach as well as any tall fighter in the game. That is a fact,, and a matter of a nine year visual record. You have no clue what you are talking about, unless of course you know boxing better than Emmanuel Steward.

 

The most talented prospect.

His raw natural ability and athleticism are absolutely awesome.

In 2 years he should be the best MW out there.

 

Pavlik is Arthur Abraham's worst nightmare. There are good reasons Sauerland never let negotiations get started, and never made a serious fight offer. Pavlik would absolutely demolish Arthur in less than 8 rounds. It wouldn't be a fight. It would be an assassination. Next time you post, take Abraham's dick out of your ass before you start typing. Maybe you'll make more sense.

 

Pavlik is back after beating up a C level fighter. Jeez, he has been rested for such a long time. Now he is grandstanding that he will fight Williams. We will see soon enough. As Williams fought a top fighter. Seems like a lot of excuses going around.

 

this was a very sick man who couldn't fight paul williams a week or two ago but is magically better to fight a bum now and you guys say he is back

 

So you watch a fight and than merely listen to what Emmanuel Steward says and agree with it? It's not bollocks. He doesn't use his height and reach aswell as 'any other tall fighter in the game'.

Let's look at this action from Pavlik v Taylor I, and rounds 2 & 7.

You see round two, he can't find inside for one because he lacks the hand speed and doesn't cover up at all and he's stumbling all over the place.

He gets up, and continually tries to press the action still and keep the fight at mid-range. He's still trying to get his punches off. Not once does Taylor take a forward step, because he knows Pavlik will come to him. The only time Taylor does move in is when Pavlik gets to mid-range, and he takes Pavlik to the inside where it's difficult for him to get his punches off and deal with Taylor's hand speed.

Round 7 and he does the same for the finish, it looks as though he's trying to establish his range for the right hand that initially hurts Taylor and sets up the knockout though, admittedly.

Let's look at this beautiful knockout from the Zertuche fight aswell.

You see the initial right hand that puts him on the canvas, Pavlik is always in range. That's not him utilizing his height and reach there, because he's in range of Zertuche's punches and if he was utilizing his reach, he wouldn't have to be. Again the knockout, he steps in and fights at mid-range to land the 1-2 and then the uppercut.

 

Oh the irony.

When is the last time you actually typed something up with both hands? Instead of typing with your right hand and wanking to Pavlik KO's or cupping his balls with your left?

 

This is one of the things I notice about some posters on ESB. Tides sure turn quickly.

 

Duddy and Mora suck. I'd rather see Pavlik vs N'Dam Jikam.

 

yep a week ago nobody was on board .. he wins ..everybody is a fan!

 

I'm glad Pavlik is back in action and ideally they can get the fight going with Williams.

 

Look, don't get me wrong. Undenialby, the guy has athletic talent. He moves well, which will probably cause Pavlik trouble. He's a little rough round the edges - lots of unnecessary bouncing around, loads up a little too much on certain shots, sits in the pocket and waits to get off at times - but that's to be expected for a prospect. But there are more fundamental problems. He doesn't have that much power - will he be able to keep Pavlik off him for long enough? Admittedly, I've only seen 3 or 4 of the guy's that are hanging around on video sites, but his stamina doesn't seem stellar, and he seems to get sloppy in the later rounds; against a 3-minute-of-every-round, 12-rounds-of-every-fight boxer like KP, will he last? Will he be able to get off against someone who constantly closes you down and sticks a jab in your face, rather than just blundering forward like N'Dam's current opponents?

He may be able to do all those things. I don't know. But it's certainly too early to know, and certainly too early to be saying that N'Dam will simply take a seasoned and accomplished fighter like Pavlik and "hand his arse to him".

Pavlik is far from unbeatable. Bute probably beats him, Ward almost certainly beats him, and the Kessler of the Andrade fight probably beats him. I have a realistic view of his abilities. But I can't see anybody at 160 or below that I can't see him demolishing at the moment, and he presents a difficult package for everybody else. Maybe somebody will come out of the woodwork in the next few years.

And as all boxing fans should know, just because Hopkins made something look easy doesn't mean that everybody else can.
