I got Pavlik. I haven't seen much of Abraham, but his first fight with Miranda was such a criminal event he has to do alot to make up for it in my mind.

Pavlik has the reach, power, and work rate. His loss to Hopkins is water under the bridge and meaningless. He didn't show up that night for whatever reason, but it doesn't mean anything for Abraham. Pavlik 1-2's the smurf until the ref stops it, and gives him a break then takes points from Pavlik, then restarts the fight and takes points from Pavlik again everytime he lands a solid body shot.

Abraham stopped Miranda because Pavlik ko'd him. Once you've been ko'd it's easier to happen again. Pavlik softened him up. It's like Tito did to Mayorga, his beard got broken and he's been ko'd several times since.
