I think Williams stops Pavlik late...he's a southpaw, he can carry his power, he throws punches in volume, and he's got a very solid chin, I am sure he will pay close attention to defense fighting someone like Pavlik.

Williams by TKO/KO?! I mean, i think it's a fair fight, but I don't see Williams knocking out Kelly.. BHOP landed plenty of flush shots and all it did was stun him.. Taylor landed some bombs and almost had him out but couldn't finish.. I don't think Williams should even think of going into this fight with KO on his mind because that will mean he will have to sit on his punches a bit more, leaving him more vulnerable to get hit. He will need to punch and move like he normally does.

I think Pavlik beats Williams. If Williams can be stunned by a welterweight easily as Quintana and Margarito has shown. I think Pavlik will stop him. Once Williams get's hit by one of Kelly's power shots to the body I don't think Williams' skinny rail of a frame will hold up to that type of power. Williams will give him fits but he will not hurt Kelly. Kelly by TKO.

Williams on points or a Pavlik KO. Either the Hopkins fight or something affected Pavlik, I'm sure not all the negative stuff we've heard recently is all true but he's definitely having problems. But he's going to be punching hard at 160 and that's his best chance. It could be fight of the year.

Paul Williams will give Kelly Pavlik alot of angles though, and Kelly Pavlik needs to set his feet too punch. Which is why he couldn't land nothing on B-Hop. Also Paul Williams has a 7 inch reach advantage.

But i still do think people are underestimating Kelly Pavlik, remember he can still bang and he moved up too many weightclasses. Against B-Hop which is why he looked sluggish and it wasn't all too do with B-Hop either.

And remember Paul Williams hasn't ever fought a puncher, except for Walter Dario Matthysse. But that was at Welterweight not Middleweight, we don't know how good Paul Williams chin is really.

The smart money is with Paul Williams, and im going with Paul Williams myself. But i wouldn't be suprised if Kelly Pavlik was able to lay him out, he does hit pretty hard.

Williams by UD.Pavlik needs time to set his double jab then the straight right.He will not be aloud to get his timing as Williams will be throwing punches at him all night long.
