No Stovepipe - you are not the only guy who sees the kind of shots Williams will take in this fight. 1. Nearly every past opponent, except for BHop, under estimated Pavlik's boxing skills. It is very probable that Williams and company will do the same. It is Pavlik's boxing skill that got him an 87% KO ratio. He does not have the same firepower as guys like Abraham or Miranda, but he does have a higher KO ratio against better opposition. His skills are responsnsible for his effective use of power. 2. Paul's style makes him a sitting duck for Pavlik's 3 best weapons. If you are going to compete with Kelly Pavlik, you MUST keep your hands up. If you do not, he is going to jab and hook you half to death, and finish you off with right hands. 3. Pavlik has taken massive shots from bigger, stronger men than Williams. PWilly's arm punches are not going to worry him. On the other hand, if PW wants to sit down on his punches more than normal, he'll have to lower his work rate, slow his head and body movement down, and pick his spots. That **** would turn into Kelly's kind of fight very quickly. 4. In spite of his height Williams is a small middleweight, and Paul is also very aggressive by nature. Pavlik eats small, aggressive middleweights like a little kid eatin' Skittles.
oh you meant winky.... well stylistically yes...winky got shut out...not only has that never happened in his life... but im confident nobody in boxing with respect to size would shut out winky....knock him out... maybe... but shut up out.. nah well maybe I am miss understanding you... my bad if i am but to me it seems like you keep speaking about this negotiations in a negative light and negativity doesn't get anything anywhere...
Was not trying to downgrade Paul at all, hopefully you did not take it that way walk, just pointing out his level of competition at MW was much to be desired. Again I guess that does not matter these days.
nah im being serious.... i mean granted everyones first 10 - 15 fights probably look something like that as well... its a good side note though i wish winky would have said something about paul's strength... i want to know what pauls strength is at 160
Explains your patience with WWM. One side of this debate is seriously deluded. Well, maybe both. Think there could actually be middle ground? :think NAH!!!!! :bart
what one sidedness did i display? find all my posts about actual fight predictions and you will see im very balanced..... the only thing i am one sided about is gloating about pavliks resume & opposition and his actual skill level
