Sergio Mora: "I Can Beat Kelly Pavlik"

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.

......................Sergio Mora is the FUNNIEST GUY IN BOXING!!!!

I think he has been listening to Leonard in his half assed mellow dramatic Contender speeches just a little too much

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

.....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.

If he beats Forrest will you give him credit?

Cant blame Mora for wanting to cash in, he's watched Alfonso cash in with Gotti and Cotto. This fight wouldn't be close at all, same results a cotto alfonso just in less rounds. There's a reason they were on a reality show cause there just that, a contender, barely.

If Mora really wanted to cash in, he shouldn't have taken so much time off, it's his own fault that he didn't capitalize on the career trampoline that is the Contender.
