Pavlik....Godzilla of the middleweights.

[Dark Lord Al]

Its a mystry to me why people bang on about how predictable Pavlik is , and how he does a few things very well.
The fact is he is a formidable fighter and good to watch , also hes a good guy.

He should stay at middle as long as he can make the weight , i hope he fights Abraham next.

That's the truth, plain and simple.

His defensive skills have been great in his last two fights. He bats the punches with his gloves. I like that. It was a art that Harry Grebb and Jack Johnson perfected. It is a lost art and its great to see a champ today use that technique.

Massacre !

I knew Locket would get knocked out early but this was even more brutal than I had imagined

Lockett said post fight that he did not see the punches coming. That one statement says a lot, let me explain.

Pavlik punches hard with everything he throws, but he never loads up and telegraphs even though he is not fast. He seems to like it when guys try to do a peekaboo defense as he will thread that needle and still get to them. he did it against Miranda, Taylor and now Lockett. He will even sometimes bat his opponents left glove away with a left hook and deliver a right hand behind it.

It is actually very precision technical stuff. It is those little things that will make him tough to beat.

Many want to see Winky fight him, but Winky and his peekaboo is made for Pavlik. Winky is a lefty but he squares up. It will take a guy with very good head movement and footwork to beat him. Same thing will happen to Abraham, he likes Peekaboo also and will also get beaten down.

Joe has the best chance being very awkward as well as a lefty. He will have to keep moving though and not square up. It is a good tough fight and whoever forces their style better wins the fight.
