You See, This Is The Sort Of Pro-Pavlik Sentiment That Pisses Me Right Off

    Hard to say. With Sturm and a $1,000,000 payday unification fight, I doubt it. What are Kellys options stateside? Fuck all I should imagine.

    [QUOTE=ILLUMINATI]Please that 5 minute break Abraham got in round 5 for a headbutt that was cause be the smurf..he was the one that jumped in with a while uppercut and ran into Miranda afro...:lol:

    Fucking ref would take point for body shots landed by Miranda...after a few times Abraham caught up to what the ref was doing and started complaining anytime Miranda hit him to the body...round 7...11...12...etc..


    look at the END of the day KELLY PAVLIK is the MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!! Abraham ones to take that away from PAVLIK, he is going to have to come to AMERICA to do it.....:dunno:[/QUOTE]

    Seriously, Orthodox. I know Abe is your guy. But you know that Miranda got hosed in this fight. You know those points taken weren't warranted. I don't know what would have been the outcome without the points taken, without the broken jaw, but the fight was highly controversial and should have had an instant rematch.

    Just curious, I know Miranda has asked for a rematch, how is that coming over in Abe's camp?

    que?

    How much does Abraham makes a fight? I LOVE how Hatton was making million...intop of million during his days in the UK..but his biggest payday was in the states against Castillo..for $2 million? or 3 million?


    Kelly Pavlik is THE Middleweight Champion of the world...he has plenty of options.....Duddy, Winky, Rematch with Taylor....Pavlik is set for the next year or two....

    Boxing is massive in Germany, A unification fight with Sturm would make both of them. Well, it would end Sturms career, but financially it would be extremely lucrative. Both men have huge followings, and Abraham would pack the house with Armenians just gagging to see the little Bosniak beaten back to Mostar.

    Miranda fucked off and took the Pavlik fight. He isn't in a position to demand anything. Abraham would fight him again in the morning, he said so. But I can't see it. Miranda has 2 defeats now. And he is finished at 160. Can't make it anymore, he's drained at the weight.

    If Abe fights Sturm in unification bout, that's decent. In the meantime, Pavlik can fight Duddy and make a nice payday. After both fights, something tells me Pavlik will be more willing to fight Abe than the otherway around.:nono:

    I will bet ANYONE in this forum that an Abraham-Sturm fight will absolutely not happen within the next year. I don't think it will ever happen to be honest.

    Agreed regarding the unlikelihood of abraham vs sturm..I would give abraham-pavlik a better chance of coming off

    I´m not getting into this argument AGAIN, and Ortho is a bit too paranoid to the point somebody willl soon open a thread about Pro-Abraham sentiments, but Abraham wasn´t given five minutes after the punch that broke his jaw, which likely happened in round four, he was given time after Miranda fouled him with a blatant headbutt. If Miranda keeps his composure he would have probably won the bout, just like Danny Green a few years earlier. And for all the shady talk about the way Germany conducts business (and we can certainly argue favourably for a TKO stoppage win for Miranda) it were the actions of Miranda and Green, absolutely blatant and obvious, that got them into trouble in the first place.

    No doubt, I don't think intentional headbutts are legal in any country.:laughing:

    Never going to happen. Sturm makes more money than Abraham, although Abraham is catching up. If Abraham shatters his glass chin, his value goes down. Sturm has never beaten a real middleweight convincingly, not the rematch with Castillejo, not Velazco. The writing is on the wall. Sturm vs. Sylvester is the best fight boxing fans can hope for.

    Pavlik might make more money in Germany, but with the crap that goes on there, he's best set to fight in America.

    has it come to this? Ohh Danny Boy ya couldn't find a decent Kerry county potatoe farmer to self abuse to, so you go to Abrams? :lol:

    Ok seriously I think Abrahms does deserve some props. he, like Kelly has shown heart. It took a lot to keep going against Miranda. I think it would be a better fight than people think. I mean Kelly isn't particularly fast... Abrahms could avoid a lot of shots. Also I see Abrahms jamming Kelly up inside. Definitely not an autimatic win for Pavlik. Abrahms would take a lot more than Taylor did and give it back as well.

    I have to agree with Ortho's point, though not his sentiment. Basically both guys beat Miranda with no caveats. But this does not make Kelley a slouch. Basically there is a tendency now to give Pavlik more props than he deserves. Abrahms is a live dog and I would pick him to beat Taylor frankly.

    After Napoleon, Russian and German rulers used variations of the title "Caesar." I find it quite ominous that this title is starting to be used again in America. Drug Czar, Terrorism Czar. Pretty soon there'll be a Health Care Czar, a Defense Czar... Eventually there'll be a Czar Czar, and then he'll just be called Caesar.

    Thats what I said. The jawbreaker was delivered around 10 seconds left in Round 4. Round ends, fighters resume combat. Then Miranda gets dirty. Clear cut case of blatant fouling.:clap:

    Yes, I know.

    No doubt you have a valid point in that HBO should have recognized Abraham's win over Miranda and the fact that Arthur WAS backing him up (at least until the middle rounds).

    HBO loves to pretend nothing else has happened except the storyline they want to sell.

    You are right.

    But Eastman "backed up" Miranda too, in spots.

    Abraham wasn't able to do it nearly as consistently after the middle rounds.

    Pavlik backed him up all night, every time, against the ropes and destroyed him.

    So certainly that deserves to be recognized.

    So your point is valid....but do you have to act like you are insane with rage and repressed xenophobic aggression every time you see an example of this, bro? :lol:

    Happens all the time in the media.

    Peace.

    No shit. If you want to complain about Pavlik's popularity or cry about HBO's love affair with him, then get your passport stamped and come fight him.

    Damn.

    I'm from Ireland. Arthur Abraham is from Armenia. Kelly is American, and White to boot. Just how you work Xenophobia {on my behalf, no less} into the mix is beyond me. The only "Xeno" anything being displayed is coming from the West Side of the Pond.

    :dunno: :cool:
