Pavlik vs. Duddy, The X-factor

I think Pavlik's power will be the deciding factor. People shouldn't forget Duddy hits very hard and can take a punch, but how many punches can any mortal man take from Kelly Pavlik? Being a Duddy supporter I would like to see him win, but my fan loyalty will not be placed over boxing knowledge in my prediction. I'm not sure how Duddy would fight this fight, he has fought on the inside against Campas and Eastman and it wasn't much to his advantage. Pavlik being a bigger fighter, maybe that would help him stay away from Pavlik's right hand. It's still inevitable that Duddy will be hit with vicious rights that could end his night.

 

I have to disagree with you there. I think Pavlik's suspect chin will be the deciding factor. Pavlik likes wars, but he will find Duddy wont fall over too easy, whereas when Duddy will fight Pavlik on the inside exploding his fast hooks on Pavlik. Pavlik will fall before Duddy does.

 

If duddy beats pavlik it will be a massave acheivemant for duddy, i just dont see it happening though. Duddy is fast and throws nice combinations but pavlik i think is just too relentless and will scatter duddys plan early and knock him out, i hope im wrong i like duddy.

 

duddy is getting more votes than i expected:huh

 

How on Earth does Pavlik have a suspect chin? He got hit with 2 clean shots from Taylor and got back up and had his legs under him in 30 seconds. Taylor is a big puncher at MW. Pavlik took some of Miranda's haymakers and never went down. And we all know about Miranda's power.

 

And how on earth does Duddy have speed? He has neither a hand speed nor foot work advantage to Pavlik - I respect the Eire hyping Lee but Duddy is a bum/mummy beater who will get a severe beating at the hands of Pavlik...

 

Time will tell, but you can rest assured Duddy will defeat Strum or Abhraham.

 

Duddy would have a good chance beating Sturm who does not deserve the belt he's wearing by defending vs. no-names and pensioners.

But Abraham would KTFO Duddy without a doubt...same like Pavlik...

 

Abraham is strong, but he's slow. When he comes out of his bubble, and fights out of Germany, he will be exposed as the second rate champion he is.

 

Wait and see but Duddy isn't a guy who can expose a fighter like Abraham because he's rather a C-level fighter.

Pavlik though has the tools to beat Abraham but both would hand Duddy his ass to him...

 

We wont know that as the Geman or German based fighters generally dont fight out of Germany.

 

As I said - wait and see.

Abraham, for example announced publicly, that he is going to fight in the US in June (NY) - that's the first time a german based fighter made such a clear statement to the media.
To the contrary a guy like Sturm said he wants to fight in the US but never said whom, when and where...that's the difference...

 

I'm making the trip from Belfast, Ireland to attend the Duddy/Pavlik contest, so it will interesting to see how good Abraham looks in the flesh.
