Arthur Abraham: Talking Pavlik smack...

I still think Pavlik will win but Abraham does have the power to hurt him. It's a different style matchup entirely but it is a fight I want to see. And while I don't think he will win, I wouldn't mind either of these guys fighting Raul Marquez.

I seriously feel like most people who will pick against Pavlik in this fight are still hungover from what happened in the Hopkins fight.. This will be a more relevant topic in the months to come..

Pavlik needs to learn how to move a bit better, and shorten up his punches, not always going for the knockout.. that will be the only way to beat AA..

I think that watching film on the AA/Miranda fight will be a plus for Pavlik as they both have the brawler styles.. If pavlik goes in there with that mindset he will lose to superior footwork and accuracy of AA..

Let's put it this way, if Pavlik hadn't fought Hopkins and lost, and went into the fight thinking he could brawl his way to victory, then he probably would've had a miserable defeat.. But knowing that he isn't invincible now, and that he needs to learn a few more tricks, I think he will have a much better chance to succeed if he fights AA..

I favor Pavlik 55/45..

Yeah, he sure does have the power. I thought he was nuts to move up to 166 to give Miranda another shot & he blew him away. I thought Kelly would be the big fav but now I'm not so sure any more. Arthur actually looked good over 160.
