I don't think Pavlik will be dropped but I think it will be pretty one sided. Pavlik will get frustrated like he did with BHop and when that happened he just dug himself deeper into a hole and had no back up plan.
I hear that. I wonder why Pavlik took this fight. He had a tv date with Mora who is a much easier opponent. He then could have unified the division by fighting and beating Sturm even if it was for less money thereby prolonging his seat on top of the middleweight division and when time came, he could have someone like Bute or Williams.

I guess a win over Pwill puts Pavlik back on the map in terms of big name fights, but it just seems like a lot of risk right now.
