Abraham talks on Pavlik loss!
"That was a boxing lesson for Kelly Pavlik," said IBF middleweight champion Arthur Abraham, commenting on previously unbeaten WBC/WBO champion Kelly Pavlik's unexpected loss in a non-title fight to 43-year-old former champ Bernard Hopkins over the weekend. "During the whole fight he never had the slightest chance to hurt Hopkins. Once again it showed that inside the ring you don't have to be the stronger or the younger boxer –- the most intelligent will always win, and Hopkins certainly was more intelligent." As for his future plans, Abraham said, "I will make my mandatory defense against Raul Marquez, [then] I will be happy to come to the USA in February to battle it out for the super championship with Kelly Pavlik –- if Kelly still has enough power and the courage to fight me."
