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

[RP33]

this is awesome news.

it's really hard to call this fight as you can't really pin which style PW will use.. He has the skills to outwork kelly and to move around the ring away from kelly's power, and if he keeps him at bay with his jab then he has a good chance at a wide UD.. but when have we really seen PW do this? he may be in over his head, but it will really be hard to tell until they're in the ring and we see how big the speed difference is, and how PW approaches kelly..

i say pavlik by KO.. not TKO, KO.

Awesome news.

If it goes the distance, then it is Williams. Because he would have out out-volumed Kelly. He is an absolute punch machine.

Interesting fight at 160. If Pavlik can retain his power, then I don't expect it to go the distance and be a 7-8 rd KO. Williams doesn't have the durability to last with a hard puncher. Kelly does.

I like both fighters, but am a Pavlik fan and honestly think this is his to win.

Hopefully he don't go batshit crazy before it and ball punch too many more fans, or drink 3 gallons of whiskey and try to bellyflop hammer smash his promoter from atop his barn, or, or...well, you know.

I know it's an obvious statement but I think it all hinges on KP's prepearation and whether he gives it 100%, after dome of the recent stories we've been hearing it would appear he needs to re focus. Hopefully all just gossip.

Are you crazy ? Pavlik has two chances SLIM and NONE.......and SLIM just left town !!!! I would go as far and predict that Williams will do a shut-out on Pavlik 120-108. You heard it hear first.

I'm going--hopefully to see KP iced.

i think this fight is 60-40 in favor for Paul. Pavlik is still the best fighter at 160 and hits hard as hell at that weight. Im picking Paul by UD but a Pavlik ko or tko wouldnt surprise me.

This is my 2nd most anticipated fight along with Pac-Cotto. This is great for boxing fans where the fight could go either way.

You have no idea how happy Williams laying out Pavlik would make me. It's not going to happen though, I am firmly convinced that Pavlik is going to stop Williams.
