    Yeah, I mentioned that TFFP had made the observation. Reports had him having 'more pop than ever' when he reported to the last camp at 185.

    If he needs a tune up, he should not be taking the summer off. This would be the time to start preparing for that so that he could be ready by next fall for a 'real' fight. Taking the summer off and coming back for a tuneup just doesn't make sense unless his injuries are worse than reported.

    Can someone explain to me how in statements leading up to the martinez fight, Team Pavlik still used the 170 pound catch weight as an excuse to why they lost that fight. But now since lil man whipped him out Pavlik has more pop and will be better then ever at 168?

    Fire top rank? You know **** all about the biz of boxing don't you.
    Also, what does breaking down pav's style have to do with his promoter?
    You should change the title of your thread to match your post, otherwise
    you'll be labeled a wind up artist.

    Kelly will be taking the summer off and he is uncertain what division he'll end up fighting in...

    It was bloody awful. They talked over the top of Kelly, asked questions, and then cut him off with their own blah-blah-blah repeatedly, and then talked over the top of each other throughout the show. Bloody awful!!

    I agree, HBO is going with the "in with the new, out with the old" process which this sport does to fighters anyways.

    Terrible matchup. This will be worse than the Martinez fight because at least he won rounds. Bute LOVES flat-footed,one-dimensional punchers so he'll eat Pavlik up.

    Damn Boo!!! :lol:

    I don't think I did... :lol:

    I thought Kelly dispelled a lot of the rumors.

    I've heard you guys do shows that rated a solid B+, maybe even an A. That one gets a D-! Sorry bro, just being honest.

    I don't mind the feedback, at all... I'll get a copy of it on Wednesday, so I'll get a chance to hear it myself.

    Thanks for listening!!






    And the feedback... :D
