Pavlik's no Winky for sure, but his defense is pretty good. He manages to block alot of shots or get them to glance off him. Though, he really needs to learn to bring that jab back faster and not measure so much with it; also keep his left hand up higher. He did eat many right hands last night, not as many in the 6th and 7th, but still too many. He'll learn one way or the other.
