I'll withhold judgment until after this weekend, but just from Pavlik's last fight, I don't think Pavlik will be as effective at 168 as he was at 160.
It's a shame Kessler opted for Stieglitz instead of Bute. That fight would have been a good one although I suspect Bute wins. I'd like to see Bute beat Pavlik in November and then fight Kessler in the winter of 2012.
I'mt just not convinced Pavlik can perform on the level of the top guys at 168.
