I just found this. Rubio said: "I'm not worried - despite the fact that Pavlik is the genuine favourite. "I watched him fight various times and he didn't frighten me. "He's a good fighter but that's all. ... "I noticed that when you make him move on the sides, he loses his concentration and he's not very good at moving in the ring. "The predictions go Pavlik's way but I'm not going to be an easy adversary." So I guess Rubio's "secret plan" is lateral movement. The problem is that I'm absolutely certain BHop was NOT the first guy to think lateral movement was one of the keys to beating Kelly, but he was the only guy slick enough to pull it off.
I hope he does try to pull off the lateral movement tactic on KP. Kelly needs to work on some things & this will be good practice. Rubio is no Hopkins...KP is 100% healthy for this fight & is going to work on his boxing skills & when the bomb lands, we'll all be happy Pavlik fans again. Come to think of it, where is Mr. PAVLIKFAN, who usually shows up during KP fightweeks???
The powers of the mustache shall guide him to victory. GO MUSTACHE! Seriously though I have a hard time believing Rubio makes it all 12 rounds.
:bbb:hi:no partying yet just busy...its going to be crazy here..u can feel it in the air already, press conference tom and wt. ins on fri.
If your boy beats Winky, he'll take a god awful beating in his NEXT FIGHT, so you need to hush yo mouth:hey
Hey, I like Paul, but at 160 he's about to let his alligator mouth write a check his hummingbird ass can't cash:yep
he's fought at 160 before... obviously no A/B level fighters but he has some experience @ the weight...even tho its a little bit of exp.... i doubt his trainer would allow him to go up to that weight if they didnt feel confident of his abilities at that weight class.... if what i say wasnt true you might see paul williams challenge chagaeve and ibragimov....
Well HELLO! I knew you were quietly watching in the background. Sorry (& I mean real sorry!) that I couldn't have made it to Ohio for this one. Its the least thing Kellys biggest fan could do. But I've been outta work for 8 months & its hard to find beer $ around the house these days. Enjoy the fight & I'm gonna send you a pm in awhile. I have some advice for Jack Lowe to give to KP, if you happen to run into him. :!:
