I really want to see this fight. We have to find an internet stream. I wish it was on Showtime or HBO but it's not. Anytime Abraham fights it's worth watching because of his knockout power. His 82 percent knockout percentage is incredible. Another thing I really like about this guy is his swagger. He always comes in to a fight confident and never lets anyone intimidate him. I expect a KO in 9 or less.Edited by: whiteathlete33

Yep another "bruva." Abraham destroys this guy. He hasn't fought anyone even close to Abraham's skill level in his career.

Anyone who thinks the white domination of boxing is somehow down to a lack of Black participation is just wrong.Its amazing how many contenders and undeafeated prospects they can continually throw out and this guy Lajuan Simon is another.In the middle and super middle divisions,theirs a number of Black American contenders,guys like Andre Dirrell,Allen Greene,Andre Ward,Adonis Stevenson,Daniel Jacobs,Jermaine Taylor,Peter Quillin not including foreign Blacks.Boxing is probably more popular than ever amonst US minorities yet the White domination of these upper divisions is only intensifying because theyre plainly better and win most of these caste matchups.Edited by: Iron

Yes Iron, however it is all white Europeans dominating boxing today. All the top heavyweights are from the former Soviet Union, the best cruiser in the world is Adamek, the best light heavy who is now retired is Joe Calzaghe, best super middleweight is Kessler, and Abraham and Pavlik are the best middleweights. I dont care what anyone says the best super welterweights is Sergiy Dzinziruk. If we want to take it further the best welterweight is Yuriy Nuzhnenko and Hatton at super lightweight.Edited by: whiteathlete33

I'm expecting a knockout victory for Abraham tomorrow. I saw his opponent Simon on Friday Night Fights awhile back. He fought to a draw with Darnell Boone. Boone a former sparring partner of Kelly Pavlik has a record of 14-10-2(5).

Arthur Abraham easily outboxed the undefeated African-American Lajuan Simon to a wide UD!

Bad night for our fighters last night. Nicky Cook lost his belt and Enzo got defeated by a "bruva." I can't wait till this new black interm cruiserweight champion wants to unify with Adamek. He will hit the canvas a few dozen times.

Terrific. Can't wait to see him on Showtime again.

Given that Showtime is showcasing a lot of Super-Middleweight fighters right now, one has to wonder if they're looking to give Abraham a little extra exposure to an American audience before a move up to the 168 pound division. Showtime may be looking to match him against guys like Froch, Dirrell, Andrade, and Ward pretty soon. I wonder if his move to 168 will come before or after a fight with Pavlik. We'll see.

Nope, not gonna happen. There are just way too many good white fighters in the upper weight divisions for them not to fight each other. Look at Klitschko-Chagaev. That's going to be for the Ring belt! There will be an undeniable, irrefutable white Heavyweight champ after that fight. Who wouldn't want that? The top three Super-Middleweights are white: Kessler, Bute, and Froch. The top three MW's are white: Pavlik, Abraham, and Sturm. The five highest ranked fighters at Middleweight and Heavyweight are white.Six of the top eight at Cruiser are white (if you include Arslan.) How can they not fight each other?

Yes, Pavlik-Abraham could be brutal. That's a legitimate concern. But this is boxing. It's a violent sport. Both of their reputations among fans will take a huge hit if this fight doesn't happen. Pavlik has already had one PR disaster with the loss to Hopkins, I don't know if he can afford another one.

And as a boxing fan, I'm very curious who would win. It's simply an interesting match up.

Abraham is going to win a fight with Pavlik because Pavlik will be unable to deal with his style. Pavlik is probably the more powerful guy but Abraham brings alot to the table. He is hard to figure out and toys with guys at will.

Wow I completely forgot this fight was yesterday. Is Oral an arab? I know he is from Germany but he looks arabic.

He's from Turkey. He sure showed great heart in yesterday's fight, taking a bad beating, going down five or six times but still being willing to continue.
