Abraham calls out Pavlik

[The Fightfan]

I do think this would be a very good fight. Abraham with his sneaky counterpunching power and Kelly with his all out punching power and workrate. I think this fight would come down to Kelly's constant pressure and workrate. Sure you can shoot holes through it like Hopkins did but you really can't hurt him. Honestly we still really don't know about Abraham's chin. I know I know he fought through twelve rounds with Miranda with a broken jaw, but we still have never seen him tested. avlik would give him all he handle and probably stop him in eight or nine.

That has to be one of the best sentences of all time

Huh!!!! "I know I know he fought through twelve rounds with Miranda with a broken jaw, but we still have never seen him tested."

The guy was spitting blood from a grotesquely swollen jaw which forced him to fight with his mouth open, he was getting hit in the nuts constantly, and still he got through and did enough to win the fight. That was a test KP has never even comtemplated. No, I see AA exploding from his peek-a-boo and icing KP with a hook from hell---or at keast I hope that's what I see. This one has the same importance of Calzaghe-Kessler.

Listen people we all have seen fighter's fight with broken jaws,broken hands,busted eardrums,cuts all over the face. What usually happens after a round or two it gets numb. Though it may look grotesque to us I will go on a limb here and say he most likely didn't feel it after that round or two until the fight was over and he was at a calm state. As most fighter's would state who have had thing's broken in battles. In his fight's against Eastman,Ikeke,Jantuah,etc. none of these fighter's pressured him the way Kelly would or not nearly hit as hard as Kelly would. Kelly was beaten by Hopkins, Downed against Taylor to get up and stop him, in the rematch was in a tightly tested battle until the championship rounds and won. The man has been tested in championship fights. One encounter of being a fighter by having a broken jaw show's that you are a tough son of a bitch but that is one encounter.

I don't dislike Abraham he is a good fighter and with this fight if he wins he could be great. But I think this man's career and reputation is solely based on that one incident and fight.
