I personally just don't get this choice of opponent from the Pavlik team. They have to be just thinking size matters, but a crafty southpaw with angles, lateral movement, that can crack?? Tough , ballsy fight for Pavlik, he's undoubtedly gonna taste some counters. He better have that jab and straight right primed and acccurate.
Dangerous and very tough opponent. I'd expect Pav to be about -150 -200 but not so certain I'd take him. It is a big gamble just as PW would have been. Martinez won't be standing in front of Pav like Rubio and his last opponent did. This fight will tell us a lot about Pav being a genuine top fighter or a hype job. I'm looking forward to it.
