    I said the same thing in another thread. He took a fight that Joe wouldn't. Much respect for that. He is truly fighting the best he can, even at his age. WOW.

    Well he went 12 with J.T. at 166 and looked good doing it.

    Kelly's got the youth, power, stamina and hunger advantage.
    B-Hop certainly has the defensive, ring smarts, experience and guile advantages.

    B-Hop has to be more active than he was against Calzaghe. Or take him out early if he's going to give himself a chance to win.

    He couldn't afford being active against Calzaghe in my opinion because Calzaghe isn't really easy to hit either and was a serious southpaw. Against Pavlik he will be able to be active as he was against Tarver considering Pavlik's poor defense.
