    He's smothering his own jab; he's only extending it about half way with his fist half-turned, and telegraphs it by sticking out his elbow. It also doesn't cover his chin as he throws it.

    The right hand seems strong, but also lacks follow through from the shoulder.

    The left hook is the most notably flawed punch-his elbow droops down every time he throws it, when it's supposed to run parallel following the punch; he's basically slapping the pad with his front knuckles instead of turning it over, and his front foot doesn't pivot to allow more range for his hips to transfer their juice into the punch.

    His left uppercut isn't bad, but half the time, he cheats it when throwing it in combination. He's rushing the first one or two punches before putting it all in the third; it looks sloppy.

    His right uppercut is also lacks serious conviction, as he's barely turning his hips into the punch. It sounds good because it has some speed on it and hits the mark fairly accurately with snap, but it's an arm punch, and his lack of commitment to it creates a void where the torque of his body should place his shoulder as a defense while he's throwing.

    In short, he's lazily arm punching and rushing his shots.

    The main thing is for Kelly not be one dimensional. He used to be somewhat of a midrange fighter only he's obviously alot faster with short punch combinations. He's looking sharp and faster.

    not impressed. lead feed, predictable punching (see his shoulders).

    Anyone can hit pads hard with succession.

    I said before and I say again Pavlik needs to understand he is a slugger no more no less. Trying to work on Pavlik's technique at this stage in his career is like trying to teach ballerina lessons to a wreslter.

    To me he just need to get into some ridiculous shape and spar hard to perfect his brawling skills.
