what pavlik has left win lose or draw imho this bout will be a great way to gauge were pavlik stands 160-175 and dispite how far gone tarver is i think he STILL takes pavlik life and death. n e opion on this senierio would b apresheated
Very interesting fight to be fair. :good Pavlik - Johnson is also a good one. When Johnson has lost to Froch.
No chance was'nt tarver 220 or something like that for his last fight if he cuts like 50 pounds he would be struggling badly
Tarver is up at HW. I'd like to see maybe a Brinkley (at 168)as a show me where you stand fight. Andrade would be good follow up. Bring on the big boys after that.
He will do well against some slow Rubio, and Espino tomatocans before being trashed all over again by someone who actually moves a little bit...
Has it actually been stated that if he comes back it will be at SMW? Id actually like to see him fight someone like Manfredo.... a solid B class fighter... just to guage what level of opposition he can handle after a long time off.
B-Hop: It's not what you've done in the last 8 weeks, but rather the last 2 years, that matters. Pavlik needs to stay clean and clean himself up. Another loss too soon may damage him even further.
They won't stick him in with anyone to dangerous. Furthermore, he has alcoholism, not cancer! Assuming the best, by the time the Pac/Mosely card rolls around KP will have nearly 6 month of sobriety. I'm a 20 year AA member, and I've "sponsored" dozens of newly sober alkies. The vast majority stayed sober. If I had my way Kelly would fight in March.
