What's with all the Pavlik via KO predictions? LOL!

Hopkins? Kayod? By Pavlik? At 170?

The same Pavlik who hit JT in the second fight with the same punches and then some that he did in the first fight and couldn't put him away? It was pretty obvious in Pav/Jt 2 at 166 that the catch weight had an impact on Pavliks performance.

He stopped doubling his jab, started to breathe out of his mouth, panted in his corner a few times, after the 6th he opted to take breaks instead of continuing his pressure, in short; he just wasn't the same fighter 6lbs north.

The catchweight IS a factor here guys! Don't expect pavlik to fight the same fight he'd fight at 160, at 170. Pavlik by UD or SD.. No way he knocks Bernard out and no way Nard can win a decision here. All gifts go to the younger rising star, we know this.

Pavlik's a great 1-2 puncher. When he goes around (seldom) it looks good, but he always looks to punch straight through. Straights, uppers - he does his very best work when his opponent is in the corner, against the ropes, or standing directly in front of him for long periods. I've always thought the moment Pavlik fought someone with great movement he'd look silly since he doesn't throw punches at enough angles. I think Bhop has that footwork. He'll never stand in front of Pavlik long enough to allow him to do his best work, but he won't work enough during the rounds to outpoint him either. I think Bhop will expose some of the flaws in Pavliks game, nothing more.
