HBO CARD 7/7/2012 PAVLIK AND DONAIRE

Pavlik has forgotten how to jab.

 

Another call of mine that came true. The night he kayo'd Taylor I said Pavlik wasn't good. He is a decent fighter, but like Trinifag if someone moves at all, he seems baffled.

 

This guy's movement really seems to be bothering Pavlik. Pavlik is winning pretty handily but he doesn't seem comfortable.

 

Froch would kill Kelly.

 

Typical slow drubbing that Pavlik administers.

 

Pavlik/Chavez

 

Dead. Pavlik also is a weird "tweener" guy. While he was a huge middleweight, he seems to be a smallish and weakish super middle.

 

Pavlik's short punching AND his left hook could still use some work.

 

Pavlik constantly overshoots with his shots.

 

I've always thought that was strange. Pavlik was generally considered a huge middleweight, like 6'3 and not even that skinny, yet at 168 he somehow looks much weaker and less effective.

 

He has really long gorilla arms. It is pretty rare for a long armed guy to be really tight with his shots. You are right though, he is a bit sloppy, but he always was. Pavlik must be strong as hell. He seems like he'd be easy to out box.

 

He's not easy to out-box though.

 

If he fought Ward he'd be easy to outbox.

 

Exactly, that is why he must be powerful.Any spin they want to put on it, Pavlik looked shitty. I think he should try to fight Bute. At least Bute is a chinny pussy and so Kelly has a chance.

 

Donaire should roll this dude...the fight just started but I can already see he's slow and has shit footwork.

 

Can't imagine a diaperweight guy who is near 6 feet can be either durable or strong.

 

Hope it's not round 1 of Garcia/Corrales

 

This shit is like me circa 1987, lil' mac beaten down bigger dudes. The broadcast needs some Nintendo music.

 

Donaire needs to hit the body more.

 

I like all the bouncing and terrible feinting by both fighters...

 

Donaire's wife looks 45.

 

What a left hook

 

Looks like Donaire got a star and hit select.

I love the mixture of Donaire's measured pace and blazing hand-speed.

 

Donaire finally landed that hook. It looks like Matabula is open for a right hand down the pipe.

 

Mathebula has been scared since round one.

 

Donaire needs to, when he lands those wide quick left hooks, follow up with either a straight right or a right hook to the body. He'll stop him if he does that.

 

One of these days Donaire will get knocked down while doing one of those show off cocky moves.
