Abraham. At their best, Pavlik would have finished the job within a couple rounds, right now, out of shape and ring rusty, Kelly Pavlik might take 7 or 8 rounds to KO Arthur, but in either scenario Kelly Pavlik is the heavy favorite and Arthur Abraham is a very distant long shot underdog with only a punchers chance.
Abraham was a beast at 160. He showed in moving up to 168 that he still had power there. The question for me here is would Pavlik be able to avoid that power. I see Pavlik out boxing Arthur but when Abraham reached him, the fight would change. I don't think Pavlik has Direll'.s athleticism. He would have to bully the bully like Ward did. Not sure he could. Either Pavlik by close decision or late KO for Abraham.
Nah I'm all for Pavlik too.
And I actually thought it was more of a problem from the Epix people presenting this on Dish. This is the first time I watch live boxing from them and they were just like the bottom of the barrel, like if there's a rivalry between the networks then they're like a complete non-issue for either HBO or Showtime.
The fat dude in the room giving a recap for the first Abraham/Stieglitz fight? Just godawful, soulless, insanely boring! And why the Hell did he present the round that came AFTER Stieglitz got his injury instead of the actual attack that caused the injury?! These people are acting like amateurs!
The best fight was the women's match . I really enjoyed it .
Abraham just got ruined
Im assuming you don't think the judges cheat ,theres a reason top U.S. fighters won't go to Germany and theres a reason top German fighters won't come to the U.S. ,thats why that bum Felix Sturm is still champion.
I've been watching this Abraham/Stieglitz card, and these mother*ckers take forever before getting to the fights.
I've been watching an hour, and so far all they've shown is a replay of the Groves fight, which already happened earlier.
Literally EVERY card I watch from Germany takes forever to get to the damn fights.
Sorry, I'm done venting.
BQ: Pavlik vs Arthur Abraham at 160lb, back in like 07-08 when they were by far the two best MW's on the planted. Who wins?
I always thought Pavlik would kill Abraham, but I AM (or was) a huge Pavlik fan, so I'm bias. If you pick against Pavlik then I hate you BTW.
