I don't think the fight will happen,he might try to give up th belts,move up and fight JC. If they do fight,I'd favour JT slightly.I think Pavlik would bring out the fighting spirit in him which he showed earlier in his career and exhibited v Winky too.
He would have his moments because Kelly's hands can be low at times. However,I'd favour the Ghost,JT can get trapped on the ropes,he has not faced as murderous a puncher as Kelly and his activity levels would give JT fits. Remember,had Winky let his hands go in the 12th,he would have won. Had B Hop let his hands go earlier in their fights,he might have won at least 1. Kelly won't have that problem,the guy is a wrecking machine.
If JT takes this fight,and wins in a war,he will have won over the fans for sure. It'll be tough,a close fight,but I favour Pavlik on points.
