Fire Poll: Pavlik-Calzaghe at 168 Who wins and how???

[El Kabong]

Getting caught flush by power shots from Taylor and Calzaghe and night and day two different things. I took Pavlik by KO for the following reason, they are both come forward fighters, therefore they will both make contact, and I believe Joe has zero power left, Pavlik will walk through his punches. Will it be easy or pretty? Hell no. But I've said my peace Pavlik KO

Joe is not a 1 punch power kind of guy, he's going to hurt you with speed and accumulation of punches. Sure it'll be different but Jermain wasn't even an accumulation puncher, he couldn't hurt Ouma but he floored Pavlik!


Sure Pavlik-Calzaghe needs to happen...I am not sure it will happen but I hope it does. I'm not a fan of either guy but I would love to see them fight.

[Pavlik]

Kelly had a harder time with Taylor when Jermaine opted for a counterpunching smart fight. This is a Jermaine Taylor who was explosively heavy handed and could hurt Kelly.
On the other hand Super Joe is a come forward guy with speed but is not known for his punching power and get's caught with big right hands.

Come forward Joe + BIG right handed Kelly= Kayo win for Kelly

From a guy with the name PAVLIK....oh well you MUST have an honest unbiased opinion

[Pavlik]

How can I make it sound unbiased Lyle

[El Kabong]

You can't you're a fan and therefore you're skewed to favor your fighter.


Hey if people don't believe what I say about Wladimir Klitschko then good luck with them believing you about Kelly Pavlik


I can see how Kelly could beat Calzaghe but I just think it's time for Kelly to lose and I think Joe's the guy to make him lose IF THEY FIGHT

[Pavlik]

oh well I just hope the best for Kelly, fighters like him are rare these days.

[El Kabong]

That's true and I agree with you, have some rep

Jermain has always had good power, but was always reluctant to engage and use it. Kelly forced him to use his power as he would not get out of his face. You can tell the way Taylor throws he has some good steam in his shots. Damn I wished he fought every fight like that.
