I saw Jack say it didn't matter. They KNEW they wouldn't get another extension. Watch the footage. Kelly explains it. Probably as good as it gets.
They tried to get Williams to reset one more time, but Goosen said no. Can't blame him for that. After that Team Pavlik wanted to wait and not fight until January because of the hand. The WBC threatened to strip Pav, so Arum drummed up the Espino fight for the main event on the next Latin fury card.
You dont get it, any idiot can get ranked by these sanctioning belts, but it takes atleast some bit of talent to be the man at the very top. If this is your stance then you better not complain about any title holders resume ever or get backlashed as they hypocrite that you are. I also just said im willing to bet the sparring partners are better fighters than Espino not that it is a very well known fact. But considering that you were there live and dont even know the sparring partners names, shows your lack of awareness and knowledge of even who the whole ordeal. Keep digging you were warned.
I'm sure that makes sense to you. As I said, I don't give a flying frisbee about the belts. The whole Chagev/Valuev/Haye/Klitchko is such a farce it isn't even funny anymore. Klitchko beating Chagev decided that. The Valuev belt became meaningless. No? I have never claimed to be an expert. I may know more that the average casual fan but I have never claimed much more. If you are willing to make such a bet would you please enlighten me on Espino? I never heard of him before this, let alone seen him fight. I'm assuming you have since you made the claim that sight unseen you are sure he is worse than Pavlk's sparring partners?
By "BAG" do you mean the brown bag from the liquor store???? because I'm sure he's still on that? or do you mean the empty bag between his legs, because he's stuck with that!
David_TheMan A friend of mine recently had a bout of staff. he didnt know it at first and landed in the hospital. He was in for 8 days. The portion of tissue he lost was about a nickle size round and 1/8" deep. AFTER healing. IE they cut more out. It took 2 weeks after that. So imagine if they hadn't gotten it all? It would take a bit for all the meds to subside and for it to be able to flare up again. I wish that Williams Vs Pavlik would happen. Specially after watching Martinez. Williams has never been all that. I like him more now AFTER that fight but it showed that he will not be able to fight the top 160. And 168 is WAY out of his league. He doesn't have the power for it. IE he fights smaller guys and hits downward. (along with pulling their heads down to hit them) My problem is now that I hope Martinez gets a rematch at 154 for his title. So we shall see how everything goes.
It's really hard to hear the dialogue on this vid, but at one point Pav says 34 rounds of sparring so far, and the hand continues to improve.
