Wow. Anthony Hopkins is his trainer![]()
I never seen a fighter so happy to be knocked out. He sure was doing a lot of smiling after the fight.

Damn Ayala got KTFO! He fell right on his face. You could see the blood start flowing right after that combo, that was a sick k.o.![]()
Call me crazy but I reckon if they do ever meet that Abraham might catch Pavlik coming in and knock him out.
He definitely won't be looking for a points win, I imagine he'll be on the ropes most of the fight but even against Miranda and with a broken jaw Miranda couldn't stop him and it was actually Edison who several times throughout that fight was out on his feet.
Abraham doesn't sustain pressure and his attacks are only in short bursts but I'll bet money that he hits harder than Pavlik and could well time his shots and spark Pavlik in a shock win.
In fact if they do ever fight I'll go with Abraham KO in the prediction comp.

Pavlik would brutalize him. Sure Abraham has a punchers chance, but I would lay my money on the guy who throws 10x the punches and hits just as hard.
Pavlik's jab alone would give him major problems.
But therein lies Abrahams chance in my opinion. Abrahams defense is pretty tight when he wants to be and against Pavlik he'd probably have his fists glued to his face and would be happy to lose rounds in order to wait for the opportunity to pounce on Pavlik as he came in.
Artur really can open up with devasting force when he needs to and I reckon he might just unleash one of his trademark flurries at just the right time and stop Pavlik in his tracks.
Don't get me wrong, Pavlik would be a big favourite in this fight but Taylor was able to hurt him and the last time Taylor knocked anybody out Barry McGuigan was still fighting.
Pavlik is by no means unbeatable.
I think if they do ever fight Abraham would get outworked down the stretch but I've always liked him so I'll stick with my prediciton and say Abraham with a shock KO.
I honestly think that last night Ayala showed us that Abraham does need to work on some head movement. If he just slipped some of those punches and worked inside he could of knocked Ayala out a lot earlier, but Ayala should he had an awesome chin last night though so well done to him! But seriously though if Abraham was to get in with Pavlik he cant just stand there and take some of those shots, Pavlik is a lot better and wont be pitter pattering on his gloves, he will be hurling in those punches and eventually beat his guard down. That right straight of his beats through guards and if there is no head movement there is only so much a fighter can take of a man of Kelly Pavliks strength.
