Is this for real, Sergio Mora is fighting Kelly Pavlik?

[Majesty]

I dont think there is much of a chance of Mora KO'ing Pavlik, but if Mora moves alot and decides to play the hit and run game it could be an ugly fight......I can see Pavlik having a hard time finding Mora with his punches.

Well fair enough? Except that Mora isn't Spinks.

How so? Has anyone ever had trouble finding Sergio Mora? Manfredo and him went toe to toe, Jesse Brinkley caught him with some heavy shots in their fight, that kid on the Contender who tragically committed suicide, he fought a war with Sergio. Vernon was cacthing him repeatedly in their second fight.

Mora has skills and speed but at his heart he's a warrior who loves to brawl. Pavlik will tee off on him imo and although I think he will put on a brave performance I think he'll get badly beaten, cut and probably rescued by the referee around the 7th or 8th round, probably on cuts.

But this won't at all be like Taylor Spinks imo, Pavlik won't be waiting for him to get off his shots he'll just walk him down and bully him into submission.

I honestly think it's an impossible fight for Mora to win the styles are just so wrong. He has nothing to keep Pavlik off him, he can't hurt Pavlik, he cuts easily and isn't exactly the most durable looking guy. I think he gets dominated sadly.

I'd like to be wrong though, I've always liked Sergio. I think he would be better off at junior middle though.

pavlik hasn't really been the ghost much either.

I think Pavlik is the type of fighter who would wait for a fighter to get off and then throw back,and try to overwhelm what they did before.

The problem was in the Hopkins fight when Hopkins got off afterwards he was nowhere to be found for Kelly's response. Keepign Pavlik's feet moving seems to be the key to victory because he needs to be still before he throws, he looks like the type of fighter whom when he can plant his feet is at his most offensive.

Mora can win this fight on the inside. Pavlik's power comes from his range and his long right hand. Sergio can have a lot of success if he smothers Pavlik and uses his speed and combinations. As long as he doesn't let Pavlik dictate the distance and circles away from his right he should do better then people expect him to. But Sergio loves to brawl like you said, he doesn't have the power for the style his heart makes him fight. I have a lot of respect for him for this, but he needs to fight smart in this fight and can't afford many mistakes. Pavlik can afford to make all the mistakes in the book and still win because he has the power. Sergio can't take breaks to talk trash he needs to be all business. Probably should hire Nazim Richardson too
