Thread: Mora vs Pavlik in June or July

Okay, let's get this out of the way, because I know a lot of you will start hating on Sergio, and hoping for his demise.

I heard from Sergio earlier today, and he let me know that he was in Vegas yesterday, and he came to terms with, and signed off on fighting Pavlik at the end of June or July, in Atlantic City.

They are just waiting for Pavlik and his team to sign off on the deal, which will supposedly happen next week.

I'm just really pissed off, because Arum has been saying for weeks that Kelly's next fight will be here in Cleveland, and now the rat b@stard went and changed sites on me. It would have been so perfect for me to have Sergio come here to fight.

I found out afterwards, that Arum is possibly thinking of doing another split site PPV, with the other main event coming out of Mexico. Which sounds to me, that Arum is lining up a fight for Margacheato in Mexico. I'll try to get more on that from Sergio this weekend. I hope that's not true, because I will never support Margacheato ever again, and it sucks that he will be on the same card as Sergio and Pavlik. I'll have a hard time with that one.

Plus, if it's true about it being Margacheato, I think he would be a complete dumbass to thumb his nose at the California Commission. I don't think they would be all too happy to reinstate him if he does. Which actually, might be a good thing, IMO, because I don't think one year is enough for a man who has no regard for the health and safety of another human being.

Obviously, I'm nervous about this fight, yes I'm friends with, and will always support Sergio, but I'm not blind to his limitations. I know he'll never knock Kelly out, but I think his awkward style will give Kelly some problems. Sergio has been wanting this fight for a long time, so I think he just might rise to the occasion, and do a lot better than you guys think he will.

It's a shame that a lot of you guys don't like him, because I know, that if you ever got the chance to talk to him, and get to know him, you would really like him. He really is a very down to earth and humble guy.

So, come on guys, get it out of the way now.

I'll have to send an email to Leftylee, and laugh at him, because he can't stand Sergio, and now since he asked Saddo to ban him for 6 weeks, he can't come in here and hate on him.

Based on recent performances I think this fight will be competitive. A Mora win actually wouldn't even shock me. Pavlik had shown he's clearly one-dimensional.

Good choice for Kelly. Relatively easy fight, against a fighter that a few casual fans will remember.

Tough fight for Mora. Man vs Boy.

Mora tends to fight to par with the opposition no matter who he fights. Reguardless of what people think about him, he can fight and he has a good chin. I dont know if hell beat Pavlik, but he can outbox him imo.

I can see Mora frustrating the shite out of Pavlik for a while.Pavlik has shown no improvements to me.I just dont think sergio has the firepower to ultimatly keep Pavlik off...think Pav would be better suited going to the body big time rather than head.

Thats the problem with Boxing.

Really fed up of watching predictable one sided beatdowns especially when the fights that you'd expect to be exciting aren't even screened over here.....Berto - Collazo for example.

Getting really boring watching Pavlik and Abraham both fighting piss poor fighters. It's not even building up suspense to a super-fight anymore. It's beyond a joke.

Sergio is no B Hop. I think Kelly wins this fight on the cards. Once Sergio figures out he cant win he will make it an ugly stinkfest..........

I don't mind Mora atall, he's just a little small for this division. I see Mr 2D Pavlik walking him down and not being deterred in the slightest by what Mora has to offer.

I know he took a real good hiding from BHop but Pavlik really needs to get a bit more back for himself than beating Sergio Mora. Surely people don't really want to see this.

Just like Antonio Tarver? I don't think so, Hopkins was just the worst opponent for him in the world.

? How does that even make sense. I was drawing the comparison of them against Hopkins, he brings out any flaw any fighter has. Only guy he wasn't able to do that agianst was Roy Jones.

Mora has a style that could trouble Pavlik.

Pavlik's pressure and power should get him through though.

Pavlik by mid -late TKO.

Hopefully after this he fights people more worth fighting.

I've liked Mora since the contender and felt he'd be a world champ one day. Which he did when he fought Vernon Forrest. I knew he'd lose when he came to the rematch overweight though. Im guessing 154 is too small for him to fight consistantly at and yet he seems to be disadvantaged at 160.

So saying all that, the guy seems willing to fight anyone and doesn't ever back down from challenges. Goes from Vernon Forrest to Kelly Pavlik. Takes guts, and there are fighters who get more praise then Mora yet wouldn't take the same kind of risk. So him fighting Pavlik should bring him more respect.

I'm on boat with VD, Mora winning this fight wouldnt surprise me. If he does what Hopkins did and box Pavlik without giving him a chance to set his feet and circling away from the right hand then he could beat him.

Pavlik since winning that title hasn't really been the "Ghost" Pavlik he was when he was coming up. He takes a lot more punches and seems to rely on his power a lot more now, that will be his downfall if he loses to Mora.

It should be a good fight. I'll go with Mora Split Decision in that one, if he can take Pavlik's right hand which he will undoubtably take somewhere in the match.

I agree with the second part of that paragraph, but "doesn't ever back down from challenges"!? Simply not true: remember when he backed out of the Taylor fight?
