pavlik v abrahams

I agree about the brawling part. Abraham is a dangerous fighter when he swarms you, but he fights in spurts and doesn't throw enough punches. He's a small MW and Pavlik is a huge MW. Pavlik should fight safely and use his jab a lot when Abraham explodes, then after Athur stops the offensive assault and tries to relax he should pressure him and try to break through Abarham's guard with those jabs and right hands, then follow up with uppercuts. Just doing that will win him the rounds, because he will be throwing more punches than Abraham and controlling the fight.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the last 4 rounds of the fight, when Abraham is down on points and needs to get a KO to win. Will he go all out on Pavlik and try to make it into an all out brawl? If he does, he has a small chance of catching Pavlik with a few shots, but the most probable outcome is Pavlik breaking him down and stopping him. This is the only matchup at MW that matters and hopefully we will see it this year after Pavlik's blowout of Duddy.

 

The last four rounds? That will be rounds 3-6! Abraham is about on the same level with Zuniga and Zertuche, and we all saw what happened to them:deal

Boo

 

Do not underrate Abraham. He hits like a Horse and if he finds his target EVERY middleweight will find himself knocked out. (Unless his jaw breakes in early rounds )

 

:good

 

Pavlik's defense isn't good and when Abraham explodes, he throws very quick, somewhat awkward combination punches that could hurt him. Abraham's power is underrated and if Taylor could hurt Pavlik, then Abraham could hurt him much worse. That's why he's a live underdog. But yeah, Pavlik is the better overall fighter and will most likely stop him.
