Kelly Pavlik has to be the biggest joke out of active boxers...

And what makes him a joke exactly? That hes not an atg?

 

Round 9 of Pavlik-Martinez is a thing of beauty.

 

you make it sound like you lost money on him hahahashah
Ok, he may have been a bit over-rated because he comes from the classic heart of america, ya know. Thats how his story was sold at least. Cant beat a small, coal-mining town, blue-collar worker, local trainer type of story. And he was knocking out opponents left and right, though he was kind of a 1trick pony.

Forget whining about how Pavlik was a bit over-rated and hyped, and give Martinez some friggin justice! He was SORELY under-rated....

 

I did lose money on Pavlik. He is going to get destroyed at 168. I am not going to say that it's a sure thing or easy money, but I am laying down once he fights stiff competition at 168.

This guy reminds me of Diego Corrales when he couldn't make weight.

A KO ready to happen.

 

lol your right....
I expected Pavlik to beat Martinez myself. I DID see the Williams/Martinez fight and felt that Martinez should have won a split.... he's just awkward, crafty, and unorthodox for the judges. But he did show he's got PHENOMENAL timing in his punches, and he did a number on the slower Pavlik.
Looking back, its obvious that Martinez stylistically would give Pavlik serious problems cuz he's too slow and is a classic linear puncher. But thats looking back...

I think the OP is pissed off for losing money too....

 

I both agree and disagree.

I think you're right about your analysis of KP rise, he earned his way their.

I disagree about his future prospects. Although he might not be a dominant force is smw or lhw, I think he will be solid. However, I don't think can hang with the very top guys of either division. Ward, Dawson.

 

I hope Mayweather - Martinez gets made. Martinez is so used to fighting with those hands low like that, he wont have any answer for Mayweather beating him to the punch all night.

 

Pavlik needs agility and speed training. The way he moves right now, fighters like Ward, Dirrell, and Dawson would take him apart. Get a strength and conditioning coach and a new trainer.

 

Spot on as usual. He makes for exciting fights, goes for the kayo, what more do you really want from him, to be Hagler?

 

He's peaked and didn't pan out as he should have. But then again..who has?

I wish he wasn't so protected by Arum. There are times I wish he would have been training instead of moping around with alcohol etc.

the whooping he put on Jermain Taylor was a thing of beauty. I will always remember when the crowd in the casino went nuts for that.

 

yeah.... Pavlik will be a solid B SMW. I think its a good move for him financially. If he's lucky, he'll get a stab at one of the Super6, Bute or someone high profile....

Watching Williams/Martinez fight, the last thing you'd think would go out on Martinez would be his stamina. I honestly thought that Pavlik's 1trick pony would land too many times and drop Martinez....
