    Espino showed extremely poor sportmanship right from the opening bell. Pav reached out for the traditional glove tap at the start, and Espino tried to sucker punch him with a left hook. 50% of Espino's "body shots" were aimed at Pavlik's nuts. Espino topped it off by hitting after the bell on purpose. Smoger layed down the law. End of story.

    I asked my son at the time if he ever remembered seeing some one punch to the ass before. Glad to see that made the clip. :D

    No. Kelly had serious health problems and Peterson kept running his mouth and pissed Arum off big time. I could tell from the interview I saw live the night before, this is PERSONAL with Arum. I think he truly wants to see Paul take a beating over Peterson's mouthing off in such a reckless and disrespectful manner. :yep

    Dude, go watch Williams' fights vs. 5 foot nothing Sharmba Mitchell or significantly shorter and slower cats like Walter Matthysse and Santos Pakau and see how easily they were able to land on Paul. No opponent has ever had trouble putting hands on Williams. I think the way P-Will was getting tagged against those fighters is more alarming than Pavlik eating shots from a cat like Espino, considering the discrepancies in height and reach between Williams and those fighters mentioned.

    I honestly can't see overmatching Kelly, even though he does have indeed, have a chance of beating him. Paul's defense is his offense. He gets by on physical attributes and conditioning, two things that Pavlik may be able to negate with his size and workrate. Not to mention punching power.

    Point deduction was fine.. Espino did that on purpose, and taking a point stops that **** right there, right then.

    He beat the **** out of Espino with upper cuts and short left hooks. Espino had never been stopped, but he didn't see the end of five. Pavlik stopped him by using two punches that hundreds of ESB posters have spent years claimng KP doesn't know how to use.

    I find it pretty damn funny that ppl still think Paul will beat KP after the thrashing he took from Martinez. Almost as funny as ppl thinking Mayweather will beat Pacquiao.

    We've got 2 very meaningful megafights in the near future. 2 fights that will prove alot of ppl wrong.

    Really glad to see Pavlik shake off the rust & setting those sights of his again.

    (((((((((((KP by KO))))))))))):bbb

    Pavlik would knock Williams out. Williams' defence is too sloppy.

    Espino tried to bully Pavlik and that is definitely not the way to beat him. I have a gut feeling that Williams will not fight Pavlik after the trouble he had with Martinez. Pavlik seems to have exorcized the demons of the hand injury, but he must now take on either Williams or Sturm in order to gain traction.
