    Pavlik vs. Williams

    Williams finally gets his chance. Youve gotta give it to Pavlik for taking this fight. No one wants to fight Williams because of his unique length for a middleweight combined with his unique skills...but this should be a great fight because Pavlik has length also, and he can take it and dish it out.

    I am glad they got this done and I am looking forward to this fight!

    Re: Pavlik vs. Williams

    Williams answered alot of critics with the rematch against Quintana. I still wonder if Williams has the power, though. He's one of my favorite fighters, and I definitely think he can outwork Pavlik. I'm just not sure he can hurt him.

      I'm a big fan of Kelly but have no idea how this fight will turn out.

          I like Pavlick in this one. Williams was a freak at 140, but at 160 he's the same size as Kelly and does not have his power. Williams answered questions by KO'ing Quintana, who was simply shock and awed by Williams in the rematch but outboxed him in the first fight. Could be a very entertaining fight.

            Maybe because I'm such a fan, but Pavlik's careful win over Jermain and his loss to Hopkins has me worried. Certainly the fight is a great one at non PPV prices. HBO shelled out 3.75 million for this one. After tough negotiations from William's people, both fighters will receive just over $1.9 million. In addition Pavlik gets the gate money and a rematch clause.

              We're on the same page here.

              The other thing about Williams that concerns me is that he tends to take quite a few punches square to the chin and if he does that against Pavlik, he's gonna get KTFO.

                Fortunately we have a lot of good fights the rest of this year to cover the postponement of this bout.

                  if you know the dates off-hand can you post 'em?

                  I want to see kessler fight again soon.

                  does mosley have another fight lined up?

                  I'm slightly out of the loop in many sports right now.

                    This fight got pushed back to November. Pavlik is dealing with a staph infection.

                            great line-up ...

                            jermaine vs abraham has potential too ...who are you guys taking in that one? I'd rather Taylor win because I really don't like Abraham. - but on the other hand I'd like to see Pavlik fight him and hopefull blow his jaw off.
