So when are we going to see Arthur Abraham - Kelly Pavlik?

[kingfrnk]

yea we should. maybe in the fall of 09 but not right away Pavlik should have atleast 2 more fights before fighting abraham

I agree with mid to late 2009 but I would like to see Abraham make his defense, then Kelly defend his title one more time, then BOOM! Abraham vs Pavlik!

I think Kelly need to knockout someone to get his confidence back. But we'll make the judgement after his next fight. He could very well need 2 fights to regroup himself over what just happened to him.

Well one thing Pavlik proved is that he has a solid chin and he needs to work on lateral movement.

[Rantcatrat]

Pavlik needs two fights and two good performances before he should even consider AA.

In the meantime, AA should fight the winner of the Sturm v. Sylvester match, which sets up a unification match with Pavlik in the Fall/Winter of 09'. This is all assuming, of course, he gets by Marquez.

[C-Lo]

Anyone else wondering how Sturm is steering clear of all this Abraham/Pavlik talk? Why isn't he all "what about me?!"

[Tam Seddon]

I actually dont think Sturm is going to get through the fight this weekend, I think hes going to lose. Either way AA should fight maybe the winner if a pavlik match up doesnt materalise

spot on

Get pavlik in with someone who can make him look good and get his career at 160 back on track...

let AA get marquez out of the way..

then hype the hell out of this one, stick these 2 up in vegas and watch them fight for the middleweight championship of the world sometime next summer!!

If Abraham is having as much trouble making weight for his last few fights as has been suggested, this fight might need to happen asap if it's to take place at 160.
