You say...

I understood what you were saying. I wasn't talking about you thinking I'm an Abraham hater.

As far as the fight itself I don't think Kelly would be content to box for 12 rounds. I think he WANTS to go to war. Kelly wants to fight a war from outside. Arthur MUST get inside. I think we could very well be looking at the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th rounds of Pavlik/Taylor I, only this time they get repeated a couple times, if ya know what I mean!!!:yikes

 

Pavlik won't want a war once he tastes AA's power. Not if he knows what's good for him. He should keep it on the outside for as long as he can; the time will come when he won't get to choose anyway!

 

Niether of them have the skill advantage over one another to display some virtuoso performance and box circles around the other guy. This would become, by about the 4th or 5th round, a war of attrition. I think that AA's power and chin would win him the fight, in a FoTY candidate. I would predict an 8th round KO for AA. No offense to Pavlik, and he still has about a 30% chance at least to win.
