Pavlik has a very thin frame and I don't see him bringing much more power up to 170. He's a KO machine at 160 but this 10 lbs will make a huge difference. For an example look at Taylor 2. He couldn't KO Taylor at the 166 catch weight after beating the crap out of him at 160.
Bernard will come into the fight as the bigger man and he's a defensive master. Pavlik isn't the slickest boxer either- he's more or less a 1-2 robot and your not going to KO Bernard like that.
Well- I tried to help. I found it funny how many people were expecting a Pavlik KO. Not in a million years my friends. The guy like I said is a robot and not a slick boxer. He's a hard hitting robot at 160 but he was out of his league at 170 vs. a smart fighter. Pavlik must use his brain from now on and stop going up in weight.
