I...if you deny that, you have no credibility in my eyes.
If Pavik has enough chin and heart to take some shot and keep throwing, we'll get to find out if Pavlik has power that translates against a real opponent. Green froze in his tracks as soon as he tasted Miranda's right and basically stopped throwing. As soon has as he threw, he got hit and hurt. I don't think the same will happen to Pavlik. I think he will throw back, but that could lead to him getting hit...potential early night. To me, it's fascinating matchup. I like both fighters. I've been wanting to see Pavlik fight a decent opponent for a while and that time has finally come.
