Dan Rafael of espn.com/boxing just reported that Arum is working out a deal for Pavlik to fight Sergio Mora, due to Joe Cal wanting no piece of the young puncher.
Arum said the fight would take place either Sept. 27 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., where Pavlik has fought two of his last three bouts, or Oct. 18 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
ESPN - Shunned by Calzaghe, Pavlik looks to fight Mora instead - Boxing
Ahhh man...I guess better than nothing...
It will feel good to see Mora get Pummeled.

i mean, first and foremost, props for Mora if he takes this fight..
but truth be told, i cannot wait for Pavlik to knock this guys head off..
I assume Mora is moving up for this?.. 160.. for someone who doesn't hit hard at all, to fight one of, if not THE hardest hitter in the weight class above him takes some balls..

nah
I thought about it, and i know in boxing that anyone has a chance.. a puncher's chance.. but if JT couldn't get Pavlik out of there after what he did to him, and if Pavlik can take shots from Edison Miranda and keep coming forward, then i have no reason to believe that even if Mora catches Pavlik with three perfect shots in succession that he could drop Pavlik.. Mora has fast hands and a wide stance so he gets in and out pretty fast, but he has that lunging approach with his jab and lead right hands, and i think Pavlik will just see that and catch him on the way in BAD..Quote:

only thing worst than a Pavlik straight right hand, is when you lean into a Pavlik straight right hand :D
I like Mora, but this is a terrible fight for him. Pavlik is not an old Forrest, this'll be ugly... I think Mora is a more legitimate opponent than Rubio though.
Why doesnt he fight kessler?
I don't want him too he needs to take care of business at Middleweight, win this fight impressive then a fight with Abraham is a must, then a Kessler fight.Quote:

hahaha even I might do a sig bet for this one. I don't know how much I want to see this. OK yes I do want to see it I have never liked Mora.
I'm not making another sig bet on a fight because I will no doubt jinx Kelly and he'll lose.

It's fine if you guys want to see him lose, I get that, but I think it's wrong to wish for him to get pummeled, or have his head knocked off.
Sergio is an extremely nice guy, and would you guys really be happy if something serious happened to him, like brain damage, or worse death. If so, that's sad. Hopefully you'll never hear anybody say those words about someone you know, or care about.
And, keep underestimating Sergio, he prefers it that way. I'll be talking to him tomorrow, I'll make sure to pass along your best wishes to him. :lolhaha:
