Blackistone on Pavlik

Good to know I'm not the only one who watches Around the Horn.

 

Thank you.

Jermaine is a very likeable guy. Great for boxing. A complete gentleman.

And so is Kelly.

 

Realistically we could not ask for better match making than Pavlik/Taylor. I think they will probably meet again one day, and even though JT is down by 2, we will all be just as excited as we were the last 2 times they met! However, for the time being I think they need to stay away from each other for a while, or they'll both be "walkin' on their heels" and suffering from pugilistic dimentia!! They seem to really bring out the best in each other, but to many wars and ya end up like Bobby Chacon.

Kelly is a class act, and I am proud to be an ardent fan. I was never a JT fan until Pav/JT I. However, from here on out I'll be rooting for JT, unless, of course, he's fighting Pavlik!

Boo

 

Pavlik is a very exciting fight indeed.

It's a shame Calzaghe was not able to be seen more earlier in his career, so many years wasted. He is getting older now, but it has not seemed to hurt him at all. Calzaghe also had some hand problems earlier in his career. I enjoy watching him fight.

 

You can buy fights on DVD. I used to buy fights from Blood, Sweat & Tears. Americans are missing so many good fights dues to the USTV boycott. Instead, we get to see many very sick mismatches, sparring sessions which are very boring. An undefeated fighter Vs. a wino from an alley.

 

Pavlik is good for boxing and certainly has some momentum going. I actually heard an a.m talk show, and not a sports one, talking about the fight yesterday. They weren't the most knowledgeable bunch of boxing fans but they were following Pavik because he's from Ohio and said they would continue to do so.

He really needs to capitalize on his momentum though. Stay active, fight the best, and most importantly...remain exciting. So he can fight a Duddy, Trinidad,Mayorga, or some lesser opponent this summer but he has to seek out the real challenges after that. It would be a shame to see him lose this high he is riding.

 

Duddy can be exciting, but he will get knocked out by Pavlik. It's time we need to see exciting boxers on TV esp. So many fights are so boring, I esp. hate it when undercards on PPV are boring.

 

I was watching & almost fell through the floor. Surprised to hear them discuss boxing at all, then I heard Pavlik mentioned, that really snapped me out of my nap!

It was good to hear him get some dap, & everything Blackistone was true & couldn't have been said any better.

 

Welcome aboard, bro!:good

I have to say, for a newbie, that was one hell of a post. Thank God your a Kelly Pavlik fan.

 

Even Hillary Clinton mentioned Pavlik in Ohio!

 

Good thread you have here.

Regarding your comment about rooting for Pavlik in the future, what happens if he & Joe meet up down the road?

:think

 

Pavs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I don't think Calzaghe and Pavlik will ever meet, esp. since Calzaghe is getting older and plans to stay at 175.
