You're bang on point. 168 is too big for Abraham, especially with his style and at SMW Kelly Pavlik loses alot of the physical advantages that helped him become MW champion.
I'd love for Pavlik to return to his old self but it's just not realistic. The "rejuvenated, non-weight drained" Pavlik we saw last time out looked absolutely dreadful. The guy he barely beat has went on to lose a shut out to Dyah Davis and lost to a club fighter with a losing record. It's no wonder Boo Radley is MIA!
After seeing Lopez fight a few times since Pavlik, It just shows The style matchup was tough! LOpez throws a 3 piece and then grabs. Kelly Hit Him with Flush Shots. Did Davis??? Not Really. All Lopez Did was grab the whole fight and made Davis Look like he doesnt belong in a ring! But Neither does lopez!
He's got the love for money ... I'm not satisfied with this fight, they could have chosen a better opponent IMO.
