Pavlik vs. Abraham this summer for real?

Damn good fight. Something tells me Pavlik comes out like a monster though and beats Abraham silly.

Or at least he better after that horrible performance against Hopkins.

 

Can't wait for this brawl.

Please God, put it in AC.

 

Well -- if we look at quality of opposition over their last six fights, and then consider how styles make fights, there many reasons to believe that this could happen. Especially if it's true that AA is a bit drained at 160 these days, and if Kelly is even more focused and determined than ever.

 

...and beats Abraham silly in the 4th and may be finished himself in the 6th. This fight will be dramatic and just has to be done.

 

Abraham put an efficient beatdown on Marquez. He stopped Marquez in half the time that Taylor did, with probably half the number of shots, half the effort. Because he knows how to make his shots count.

Big questions about both guys - can Abraham keep making the weight after having to pull out vs Marquez the first time?

What will Pavlik be like after his shoddy performance v Hopkins?

 

pretty sure he had his jaw broken by miranda???:deal

 

It's a tough bout to call but Abraham's bursts must take there toll on Pavliks chin

 

AA inside of 6. This is not a good match-up for Pavlik and lousy defense will cost him big this time arround.

 

WHat?? How is this even hard to predict?! Abraham is HEAD AND SHOULDERS above Pavlik.

 

This is a great fight, definately the best match up at 160. Its 50-50 going in but im leaning towards Abraham.

I dont expect it to happen though, I can see them taking it easy on Kelly in 2009, he is a young guy he is in no rush, he'll make good money knocking out Rubio and have another easy defence against the likes of a John Duddy or something. Great if im wrong though.

 

Abraham is going to bust Pavlik's face up pretty bad if this happens.

 

The famous humourist Mark Twain said there are 3 kinds of lies. Lies, damn lies, and statistics. But, just for shits and giggles lets look at some stats.

Height: KP 6'2 1/2" AA 5'10"

Reach: KP 75" (long arms) AA 72" (big chest, short arms)

Number of fights: KP 35 AA 28

Total Rounds: KP 138 AA 167

KO Ratio: KP 85.71% AA 82.14%

Number of fights against current or former world title holders: KP 4 AA 0

Quality of opposition last 6 fights: KP B+ average AA C+ average

 

Interesting. Will be a good fight for sure.

 

That aint's what his resume says. His resume' says he feasted on european club fighters. His best opponent was Miranda, and he had to fight him twice to get one clear win.

 

I hope this fight happens. After yesterdays farce I will boicott Sauerland fights, but I still want to follow Arthur Abraham. So if this happens it will be in the US and I'll watch it.
