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

I think it'll be the same song and dance, pavlik will land some shots yes, but the couple of extremly hard ones in comparison to the two and a half million williams will throw will be the difference. Like trying to swat a bunch of flies with a tennis racket with two strings he'll get a couple but not nearly enough.

Another angle to look at is Williams punch output. I've said this quite a few times Williams does have a high punch output but Pavlik himself throws 100 punches a round. And with power behind it. Williams could throw more than 100 punches a round against welterweight's and against a frozen Winky Wright. I just want to see now if Williams can do it with someone who is just as tall as him, will be much bigger,and constantly pressuring him. Kelly is no defensive wizard nor a boxer. His game is pressure and honestly Margarito didn't even put much pressure on Williams until the very late stages of the fight and still landed with great effect on Williams. This will be a FOTY candidate without a doubt but it could end quickly with Kelly being the victor IMO.

I was never sold on Pavlik. He has a good punch and that's about it. Easy win for Williams. You heard me, Easy.

Pavlik has a pretty high output, but we haven't really seen it in recent fights. Williams will work his way to a decision here because he throws awkward and plenty. Pavlik will get lost on the angles. Williams by outworking him to a decision.

Really looking forward to this one but don't think it will be as competitive or exciting as others are hoping for. I see Paul utilizing his superior hand & foot speed en route to a decision. Winky had a very tough time countering Paul because of the sheer volume he was throwing at Kelly will have the same problem. Kelly "can" be a volume puncher but he only is if his opponent comes straightforward as he likes which I doubt Paul will do. Paul will give Pavlik angles and turn him a bit like De La Hoya-Pacquiao and will land 3 or 4 shots everytime he does. Williams like Hopkins will prove too quick and awkward for Pavlik.
