He pulled a Nate Campbell and dropped his hands in the 2nd round. He let Taylor unload on him. What an idiot. He deserved to lose just for that display of idiocy. On top of that he kept sticking out his tongue ala James Toney or Chris Byrd whenever he would get clocked with a right hand. He showed the heart of the champion by coming back but the kid needs to clean up those bad habits. All in all it was a great fight.
i think he was trying to bait JT into warring it out with him. not a bad strategy at all considering how JT went mad trying to knock out ouma. that was pretty smart even though he paid for it.
I don't think it's cockiness he could just get away with it against the lesser opponents he was fighting before Taylor and Miranda. I hope he learned his lesson last night.
But you pay more attention to this than the 7th round KO.. why? I really dont give a **** what he did, he is the champ now. Seems nobody on ESB wants to give him credit.
He is the new...and undisputed champ. Save all of your tears. I said it was going to happen and it did. You don't know Kelly so I think you should just keep your mouth shut. He knocked his ass out...period! Giive him the respect he earned. your the worst.
I saw it the same way. I looked over to my Dad and said he pulled a Nate Campbell! I was happy to see him win. I still can not believe the scores on those cards though. How did they have Taylor winning by that many points. Pavlik is getting no love for his accomplishment, but what does he care he is the CHAMPION!
I give him credit in the same post. He is the champion. And I see him staying champ for awhile. He is a great finisher and hard for anybody to beat. Even the 2 Europeans that are fighting soon. But he still has a few things to learn. And doing the Nate Campbell isnt one of them.
kelly is far from cocky. he may have baiting JT into trading with him *which is what was going on* but that is not cocky. You must not have heard him talk.
im sure these fellas are joking. if not they are bitter. if james toney and chris bryd stick their tongues out it is just good natured trash talkin'. bitter and depressed :yep what next. pavlik was a coward for holding taylor when he was hurt. :rofl and just to refresh your memory. the undisputed middleweight champ of the world by KTFO of taylor, is KELLY PAVLIK! :deal
Cocky in the ring. Doing all that cutesy stuff. Dropping his hands, sticking out his tongue, etc. I dont pay attention to how fighters act outside the ring. Its what happens inside that matters.
