Mora vs Pavlik in June or July

[the_PRODIGY]

I can see Mora frustrating the shite out of Pavlik for a while.Pavlik has shown no improvements to me.I just dont think sergio has the firepower to ultimatly keep Pavlik off...think Pav would be better suited going to the body big time rather than head.

He doesn't have one.

Arum is such a prick, whatever happened to the unification match with Abraham. Unlike most others on here I ain't got a problem with Mora, but for me he's a LMW, & it shows how pathetically they're playin it safe with Pavlik after the B-Hop loss. One thing I'll say is I bet you don't see Cotto going for a rematch with Zab Judah in his next fight, he'll at least take on Mosley or Clottey. Seriously since the Taylor wins, the only good opponent Pavlik has been up against is Hopkins & look what happened there. Gary Lockett, Marco Antonio Rubio & Sergio Mora are just not good enough fights for a guy who is supposedly the best Middleweight in the world. If he is he should fight Abraham & it seems clear to me Top Rank are just waiting till the point that Abraham can no longer stay at the weight. This has pissed me off big time.

I have to agree. Arthur Abraham was the fight I wanted to see but, both Hopkins and Abraham are two of the best defensive fighters in the game and we all saw how many clean shots Pavlik landed against Hopkins, what was it like two? Abraham is all wrong for Pavlik and I hate to admit it but the smurf is one of the most patient fighters in the ring today and Pavlik would probably never land that many clean shots against Abraham either.

I think the same, but its not as if Pavlik wouldn't stand a chance, for me it would be close to a 50-50 fight. What's pissin me off is he had his one comeback fight to get over the loss, dominated his opponent & now he should be getting back to fighting quality opposition. Cotto (who I had thought would be more damaged by defeat than Pavlik) came back had a sort of warm-up, comeback fight against Jennings & is now getting back to fighting serious quality opposition. Clottey is a dangerous opponent to be facing, and I got a lot of respect for Cotto if that goes through. Even after Hatton got KTFO by PBF, he fought a comeback fight against Lazcano then fought the guy The Ring rated as the next best guy in the division. Seriously Pavlik needs to step up again fast coz I think Arum is just ridin his current popularity wave

Here's more info on it.

It looks like JCC Jr is the other main fight, but Arum might have Margacheato on the card as well.
