Kelly seems to have lost all the motivation and mindset to execute. I don't believe it was hopkins or Martinez, maybe his alcohol problem was very serious undeed. Ther r malfunctions in there clearly.
He said he was going to make sure he hurt the guy, and boy did he put the hurt on him! It was a good showing for pavlik against a club type fighter, and he was flowing with the punches....not stiff....the training with garcia seems to be helping! Hopefully he'll keep improving!
He looked too much like his old self, and the left hook was not used the way it should have been, imo. He should fight somebody decent now, and then you can tell if he can fight for the title after that. I guess he will fight stevenson.

There is no explosiveness at all in his left hook in that video. For him to be beat he a top guy he has to have that. Watching that I think AA would beat him.
If 'atrocious' means not getting hit one time and giving a guy his first TKO, then yeah, he looked atrocious.
When are people going to realise that it's fairly astonishing that the guy is even fighting right now? People are expecting far too much.
Right type of fight for him at this stage. No-where near his old self but looked okay. Totally dominated that guy and wasn't in a hurry to ko him. Looked like he wanted the rounds.
