Pavlik & Williams agree to terms, will fight on October 3rd

[Pavlik]

Finally P. Williams fighting in his rightful weightclass. Paul will have the speed and workrate edge here. Kelly should put on the pressure early on impose his power advantage from the get go. This is a toss up but I'll be praying hard that Kelly wins big via Kayo. GO KELLY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with you, I want Kelly to win but I want Williams to become a big name and get fights he deserves also.

Williams is gonna be ducked no matter what, the guy is a freak of nature from the junior middleweights down. Kelly being the stronger guy in there, I'm still scared for him facing Williams

Williams winning this fight will just cause him to be ducked even more. I see this being a pretty lop sided fight. Pavlik I think is on the decline since the loss to B-Hop. Breaking windows with his fists, getting hammered to the point of needing to goto rehab, punches fans in the junk. Very much looking forward to it as it is another great notch to have on his belt.

I'm a big fan of Williams, but he's nowhere near as crafty as Hopkins and his chin has never been tested the way it's going to be tested in this fight. He also doesn't have the power to keep Pavlik wary and off of him. Great fight though and I'm glad it got made. Even if Williams loses, with his style this exposure should make him a more marketable fighter.

Pavlik by mid-round TKO in a FOTY candidate.
