Comments Thread For: Pavlik vs Pirog Showdown Being Discussed For The Fall

[Ray*]

Lol, Pavlik and Arum just found a way back into the Middleweight division...Why not take a rematch with Martinez?

pavlik is the best possible opponent for pirog : pavlik will struggle to make weight and is confidence level is low . Pavlik is over the hill .

Over the hill? Nah, He's just not good enough. He can still beat some of Bob Arum's handpicked bums but he can't beat any of the champions.

It's funny, Everyone thought Pavlik was going to beat Hopkins. But Bernard gave him a serious ass whooping and I don't think he will ever truly recover from it. His confidence is at an all time low and if he is going to stay at Middleweight, He should have taken the rematch with Martinez.

People are really underestimating Kelly Pavlik now. How quickly they forget, he may have defeated Martinez if not for the terrible cut, remember? That fight was even after 8 rounds.

This would be a very difficult fight for Dmitry. Kelly has the power and reach to stop all but the best defensive fighters, and he has a strong chin.

That being said, if Dmitry is careful to avoid Kelly's big shots, I can see him winning a decision if the judging is fair.

Chavez Jr or Andrade would be easier fights for Kelly. I don't want to believe in the hype, but Pirog was too elusive for the young Jacobs, he's going to be very fast for the aging and weight drained Pavlik.

I guess Pirog is a tune-up?

[TOBYLEE1]

Unless Pavlik really has a problem making the weight he should be able to pull it out

[El 7 Mares V.2]

One dimensional Pavlik won't be able to land on my boy Pirog, bad fight for Pavlik, I see a mid to late stoppage on Pirog's favor.

[xAUGUSTUSx]

Indeed. Jacobs landed some mean right hands. I Pavlik lands that clean Pirog will be KOd.

But Pirog is slick and fast enough to take Pavlik to school

That right hand your talking about was while Pirog was coming in for the kill. Pirog had way more confidence and was pretty much just looking to KO Jacobs early. He had no respect for Jacobs power that why he was able to walk through it. Thats why Jacobs looked so worried in there right from the start. Anyone can get caught with punches while looking for a KO constantly.

[GloriousG]

Pirog would land on him all day. I would rather see Pirog and Martinez

[The Rizonator]

i wonder if pavlik will be able to double up that ****ing jab
