    Kevin Blackistone used his 30 second face time on Around the Horn today to talk about Kelly Pavlik. He was stating how good it is for boxing to have a bright new champ who is humble and well mannered. I agree completely and think that Kelly Pavlik is the best thing that boxing has to offer to the masses out of any other fighter. Thoughts?

    I'm a huge fan of Pavlik and his relationship with Jack Lowe is really a beautiful thing. They just keep it ****ing real. There was a point in between rounds of the rematch with Taylor where he tells Kelly to be more active and not stand in front of him. Kelly looked at him and calmy asked, "Did he win that round too?" And Jack, just straight up said "Yeah." And there wasn't an ounce of panic between them, just absolute understanding that he needed to change things up in oreder to regain control of the fight. And that's exactly what he did. That real honesty and trust is very rare in today's world of boxing.

    It's great to see such good, gritty guys make it.

    I don't understand... I mean I like Pavlik (Hell, I'm from Ohio), but they make it sound as though Taylor was some sort of major douche bag who talked **** all the time. His performances may have been subpar recently, but he was always a well mannered individual.

    Pavlik is a perfect example of a true Champ. Not like ****ing prima donnas of the past and present.

    I agree well said, I have heard people say that Kelly needs to get a bigger name trainer because Jack Lowe simply doesn't have the credentials to be a lasting championship trainer. I think this would be crazy, those guys mesh so well together and they are definetly on the same page. If it ain't borken then please don't fix it.

    Yes i was never really a Taylor fan until the Pavlik fights. He seems to be a stand up guy and from now on I will root for his success.

    Agreed. Taylor is a class act even in defeat.
