"The infection was gone, but the hand still had not healed properly from the surgeries, and they had to pull the plug again Wednesday because Pavlik has been unable to close his left fist. That might not be a big deal for a normal person, but when the middleweight champ can't make a fist, that's a problem." - http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blog?name=rafael_dan&id=4584889 "In the latest boxing news, WBO/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (35-1, 31 KO’s) sustained a knuckle injury to his left hand that is forcing him to cancel his October 3rdt bout against Paul Williams at the Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey." - http://www.boxingnews24.com/2009/08...ht-cotto-pacquiao-interested-in-diamond-belt/ Here is a statement from Top Rank regarding the hand injury that forced Kelly Pavlik to withdraw from his fight against Paul Williams, scheduled for Dec. 5 in Atlantic City: "This morning we were advised that Kelly Pavlik's recovery of his left hand has not progressed as projected by Dr. Peter J.

His pre-fight and weigh in pics are starting to worry me now. He has the same look AA had before he gave up trying to make the weight.
Yeah there was even a thread made about him and his camp considering moving up. I thought he would move up soon anyways because 168 is where it's at.
this is arum doing anything and everything to get margo into a big fight at cowboys stadium to try and tap into the mexican-american fanbase there. its shameless but true. combine that with arum talking about trying to get pavlik into a big fight at cowboys stadium (article on ESB frontpage).... connect the dots. well, if anyone wanted margo to pay for what he did...
He should move up if he really is that confident instead of killing his big body to make 160. They know he really isn't that special and that's why they are sitting there at 160 still. I never said anything about little guys coming up. People move up all the time to challenge people. There is just nobody at 160 besides sturm who is just as good a ducker. If his promoter wouldn't have blatantly ducked abraham then we wouldn't even be talking about this stuff. It's about him not fighting the best fighters. Nobody is in kelly's league at 160. At 168 there are alot of tough fights and his team knows that and they aren't very confident. They were confident against hopkins prior to the fight saying Pavlik will knock hopkins out. After hopkins exposed him his team had an epiphany about the fighter they had and the tough bouts that would result from this exposure. So they don't want to fight a fighter who is physically strong enough and technically able to do what hopkins did to pavlik. They know what they are doing and they aren't very confident anymore either. After the hopkins fight, everyone said pavlik would go back down and hide at 160 without fighting anyone and that's what he did.
Again? He already got his butt kicked I just think people want to see him die. No way he's mentally prepared after all that "plaster de paris" mess. Pavlik beats him worst than Mosley did.
Pavlik chased Winky Wright for years beginning in 2004. He fought Miranda and Taylor when both were at their peak, and he fought Hopkins. But, he ducked Abrahamatsch How much sense does that really make?
i hear ya. there was a thread on here matching the two up w/ a lot of people saying it would be just desserts for margo to get straight mollywhopped by pav. but yes, margo would leave in very bad shape if he fought kelly.
Like he'll fight again in 2010. Seriously....a fall 2010 "big" fight for him would make sense but who is that "big" opponent at middle?
OH,Is that fact 2??? i mean you know since u got the inside scoop on everything kelly pavlik.lmfaooo@ miranda @ his peak....
Pavlik was on a live ESPN chat a little while ago. One participant ask him, "If you could fight any fighter from history or current, who would it be." Pavlik: "Paul Williams." That **** is personal.
LMFAOOO...by who??? kelly pavlik??? ahahahaha.....child please Pavlik had his chance and realized what he was getting himself into and said **** that, Im out "the medicine almost killed me" ahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha
