Pavlik v. Williams is Official!

[Althugz]

Nice fight if it happens!! I got Williams too with his reach and too much volume for Pavlik to handle.

If he allows Pavlik in late though, like he did with Margarito, he might not make it out.

I agree, after seeing him school Wright, though... I figure he won't give Pavlik any breathing room.

FOTY. hopefully.

Well i think Pavlik has a great chance of beating Williams to be honest. I mean Williams is there to be hit he is no Hopkins that is for sure. Also i am not sure how he while deal with the power of Pavlik. I mean people write him off because he lost to Hopkins and i cant agree with it at all. Also i am not down playing his win over Wright, but to be honest what version did he really beat. I mean Wright had not fought for some time and was getting up there in age.

Who's writing off Pavlik cuz he lost to a Hall of Famer? Williams dipped his feet in the bigger mens' territory by fighting Wright and passed with flying colors... I agree with that it will be pretty interesting to see how Paul deals with Kelly's power... It will be interesting indeed, but should he be able to, there's no way he will be able to hold up to Williams' workrate even though trough most of his career that was Kelly's claim to fame along with his power... If Kelly gets to that body and takes some air out of the tires in the early rounds it'll be much easier for him down the stretch. It's fair to say that Kelly hits much harder then anyone Paul's ever faced.

I'm a huge Williams fan, but Pavlik is going to starch him. Williams has a porous defense and while his activity is going to bother Pavlik, it's also going to provide him with a lot of opportunities to get his shots in. Pavlik is also, like Williams, and extremely active fighter and, unlike Williams, his chin his been proven in the middleweight division.

Pavlik by TKO in a FOTY candidate.

Yea I be taking my boy, Kelly Pavlik, man of humility, turned whiskey-drinking-nuttsack-fan-punching-tractor driving loon, by late round KO. 9th or 10th.

Going to be a great fight to watch. Williams is a freak of nature with that output.

Too many variables to predict. Williams has too many pots on the fire... Pavlik hasn't fought anyone significant since Hopkins... Williams has never been sparked but Pavlik has knocked out almost everyone he fought... Pavlik is easy to hit and Williams will throw punches from noon to midnight and I suspect he'll be even more of a problem at MW than he was at WW.

Paul Williams by surprising stoppage! He's a southpaw, he doesn't rely on 1 punch power even though he may have something close to 1 punch power. And Williams is very active in the ring...I think Pavlik will have issues with PW's style and aggressive nature.
