Well fair enough? Except that Mora isn't Spinks.
How so? Has anyone ever had trouble finding Sergio Mora? Manfredo and him went toe to toe, Jesse Brinkley caught him with some heavy shots in their fight, that kid on the Contender who tragically committed suicide, he fought a war with Sergio. Vernon was cacthing him repeatedly in their second fight.
Mora has skills and speed but at his heart he's a warrior who loves to brawl. Pavlik will tee off on him imo and although I think he will put on a brave performance I think he'll get badly beaten, cut and probably rescued by the referee around the 7th or 8th round, probably on cuts.
But this won't at all be like Taylor Spinks imo, Pavlik won't be waiting for him to get off his shots he'll just walk him down and bully him into submission.
I honestly think it's an impossible fight for Mora to win the styles are just so wrong. He has nothing to keep Pavlik off him, he can't hurt Pavlik, he cuts easily and isn't exactly the most durable looking guy. I think he gets dominated sadly.
I'd like to be wrong though, I've always liked Sergio. I think he would be better off at junior middle though.
