Pavlik vs Abraham: Who decides the TEMPO of the fight?

I guess I didn't realize until after Abraham schooled Arlock Mahginaz Sogonovavich from Ugoslavigan that the guy was such an elite boxer, so perhaps I'm wrong about him not being able to dictate the fight between he and Pavlik.

The reality of the situation though is that Abraham has no chance of outboxing Pavlik if Pavlik were to turn the heat on, and it would likely be the worst possible approach that Abraham could take.

The fact of the matter is that Abraham has the best chance in the fight in letting Pavlik come to him, as Abraham utilizes his high guard with no headmovement, backpeddling occasionaly, (guess that's great footwork), and then either A) letting Pavlik tire himself out or B) let Pavlik get sloppy and frusterated and let Abraham on the inside where his one punch KO power is most lethal.

Personally, I think that this is the worst approach for Kelly to take, because Abraham is a protypical slugger, and the worst way to fight a slugger who can knock you out in one punch is to take the fight to them, especially by throwing a great deal of volume.

You box a slugger.

And it's clear as day in Wichita, Kansas where there is not a cloud in the ****in sky, that only Pavlik can decide the approach to this fight effectively. Because it's still possible that Pavlik could bang Abraham out by taking the fight directly to him, but it's dangerous and in my opinion the worst possible approach.

So it is Pavlik who's boxing ability is several times above Abraham's can utilize his reach, height, and jab to neutralize Abraham's short stature, lack of jab and explosive feet, and lack of workrate to win the fight by a relatively comfortable UD, rendering Abraham with only a "puncher's chance."

Because as we all know, Abraham has a low workrate, and his lack of headmovement, handspeed, and effective jab, would make it very difficult to play the role of a volume puncher which is precisely how you take the fight to a man who is outboxing you whom you cannot outbox.

And Abraham SURE AS HELL CANNOT outbox Pavlik.

I'm sorry.

So, my question is, and look at this with a clear head, WHO DECIDES THE TEMPO OF THE FIGHT.

To me, it's clear as day.

 

My point is that if Pavlik decides to box Abraham, Abraham is going to be out of his element and reduced to only having a "puncher's chance" of winning the fight.

Abraham needs Pavlik's ego and arrogance to play in his hands by coming straight at Abraham and trying to knock him out.

That's Abraham's best chance of winning the fight. That's a 50/50 fight, perhaps even higher in Abraham's favor if Pavlik goes right at him.

 

Read what I wrote before you criticize me.

 

You don't even know what race I am.

I might be from Ugoslavigan for all you know.

I didn't say anything racist. How the **** could this possibly be racist? I'm the least racist person that you'll ever meet.

 

I don't agree. I think Pavlik's second fight with Taylor showed that he was capable of respecting a fighter's power and establishing a distance.

However, Taylor, is a much faster, rangier, and sharper puncher than Abraham.

Abraham does punch much harder though.

 

My point is that it's one thing outboxing another guy that can't box, but it's whole different scenario when you start getting up to the championship level and take on guys like Taylor, Hopkins, and Pavlik.

Against Sturm, Abraham would have a little more than a puncher's chance, but fortunately for Abraham, Sturm isn't an elite boxer and doesn't have much of a punch to deter Abraham from coming foward.
