Pavlik vs Mora Sept 27 looks likely

[CFH]

I like this fight; it's not Kessler or Abraham, but those will happen next year I would imagine.

What I'm not understanding is why Mora is going back to 160 again? I thought he looked good against Forrest and seemed at a better weight for himself. Even had Forrest been at his prime I think he would have had more trouble with him than some think. Anyways, I'll give Mora credit for fighting Kelly, I just don't see why he might want to derail his career should Pavlik put a bad beating on him. It would put Mora back again IMO and I say he should stay at 154{though obviously it's not my choice}.

This is a lose/lose for Pavlik; if he beats the brakes off Sergio he's not going to get much credit, maybe less than beating Lockett; and heaven forbid what happens should he lose. Only way Sergio wins is by decision, but it would make Kelly look silly IMO. I can't see there being that much of a draw for wanting to see this fight, so it's not making much sense to me.

I like the fight personally, as Sergio has that deep fighting spirit and good chin; and Kelly is a no-nonsense type guy, but there are better fights to be made; safer for Mora at a more natural weight, and Pavlik could make a step up and test the waters at SMW with someone like Andrade while he waits for Abraham or even Kessler.

I agree, I can't understand why Mora wouldn't stay at 154. Even if he had to give Forrest a rematch, it's still by far the best weight for him. He actually seemed to have improved power at 154 as well, he stunned Forrest with that overhand right.

Sergio is crazy

Everyone else is ducking Pavlik, might as well go for it.
