Sergio Mora: "I Can Beat Kelly Pavlik"

[Wacko3205]

I look at Mora and see a mid level fighter. Possible fringe contender at best.

From what I see from him, he is average in most of the basic fundamentals.

Speed: Average
Defence: Average
Footwork: Average
Offence: Average
Power: Below Average

I just do not see anything special in him that could elevate him to a real championship. He might get lucky and win a belt of some sort, but that will take some very careful opponent selecting. To become a champion, a fighter has to have a defining ability to get him there. If someone can find one with Mora, please enlighten me.

Fixed that one for you. Heh heh heh.

5 pages...I haven't looked...but I'd be shocked if someone responded "yes Sergio...I agree!"

I wanna know where all these Sergio Mora fans are, who were tellin me how ignorant I was and how much of a hater I was for not liking Mora a few months ago. Now that the punk has barely got a draw against a no-name, backed outta a fight with Taylor, and run his mouth about a man who could knock his punk ass out within 4 rounds, they are no where to be found.

Damn it would be funny if Sergio actually got on this forum and saw this thread Bet he'd feel pretty bad after reading all this. I wonder if any professional fighters get on Saddo's ?

I like Mora, I find his fights entertaining, but he's a prospect and nothing more at this point. I agree with those who say he's done nothing to deserve a title shot because he hasn't. He's got an interview on Boxingtalk right now where he talks about fighting Jermaine Taylor if the rematch with Pavlik doesn't occur, which is a very stupid decision on his part if he goes through with it.
In a lot of ways Mora is an unknown entity at this point - he's yet to fight anyone with much skill, so nobody can really know how he measures up to top-level competition (which he's nowhere near ready for). His inactivity and overconfidence I think will be his eventual downfall, if he started fighting 3 - 4 times a year against a rising level of competition we'd get to see where he actually stands in terms of skill and potential. He apparently looked like shit against Ayala, who was once a decent prospect, but I think much of that was due to ring rust/inactivity. I didn't see the fight, but apparently he got better as the fight wore on and he shook off some of the rust, but like I said, he's nothing but a prospect at this point.
I think in terms of his progress he's probably a little below someone like Duddy at this point - someone with a lot of questions surrounding his abilities, but he's nowhere near as bad as some make him out to be.
He does think he's a lot better than he actually is though and I can understand how his personality rubs some people the wrong way.
Flame away.

Yeah I've thought about that before too. I seriously doubt any top fighters come on here and take the time to read fans' criticizing posts about them. They are professionals and do not care nearly as much about the glory, ego, bragging rights and BS that we constantly discuss on here.

You're probably right man; I bet most if not all avoid these sited like the plague. I'd love it if Mayorga came on here; how much fun would that turn into for everyone??

It would be fun, if he could speak/type english.

In a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Sergio Mora (19-0-1, 4 KOs), who won the first season of The Contender reality show, said that he possesses the tools to beat current WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (32-0, 29KOs). Mora is even willing to fight Pavlik in his hometown of Ohio.

"Having Kelly as the champion is exciting for the division," Mora said. "This is a division people like to watch, and Kelly's an exciting guy who throws a lot of punches, hard punches, and who starches people. But stylistically, Kelly Pavlik is someone I can beat. He doesn't have the athleticism or the speed or the head movement. He has great, great power, but you can offset that power with speed, movement and angles."

On Tuesday, Mora fought to a disappointing draw with Elvin Ayala, a result that is sure to knock him out of the Pavlik sweepstakes. Though, Mora is still being mentioned high on the list of possible interim opponents for Jermain Taylor, if Taylor decides to pass on a rematch with Pavlik.

Mora would make a better comedian than boxer.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

this is the same segio mora who told us he can beat jermain taylor when taylor was champ, he now says the same about pavlik, if you asked him he say he could have beaten a prime b-hop when b-hop was middleweight champ, and marvin haglar, quess what he even has the stuff to have beaten ray robbinson, and jake lamotta......... mora is joke, whats he done in the last two years that show he can live with a world champ

[killersheep]

I would love to see Pavlik destroy Mora, I'd pay PPV prices to see it.

[Mar]

.....hey anyone who can hang in and get a draw with ayala will see pavlik as cake !!! Geeezzsuuuus mora has my eyes watering with this one don't worry about pavlik son, you won't even beat forrest. I serioulsy think mora was just kidding. Pavlik could beat mora and probably most of the people on mora's record one the same night within the original 12 rounds.

[:::PSL:::]

lol!

Yeah right Sergio.
