Man, what a shocker! Hopkins over-performs & Kelly under-performs. He sure didn't look 43 in there tonight. Back to the drawing board for Team Pavlik. I had a feeling this might happen after the GIANTS looked like **** lasty Monday night. Kelly said it just wasn't him in there & I guess Hop had alot to do with that. Looks like its back to 160 & beat Abraham to regain respect, or lose that one & disappear forever. (((((((((GO HOPKINS))))))))))
much respect jetski... stay on the pavlik train. he has a lot of heart and will never be in a dull fight. give it 5 or 6 months and he'll beat the hell out of rubio to defend his belts at 160.
Surprisingly clear and mild tonight, bright, bright moon; not many clouds so you can see all the constellations.
even the people who try and make excuses for Pavlik are left looking dumb because of how completley dominant Hopkins was lol
:happy Didn't think you'd take it this well. I knew Hopkins would win, but I was worried that many of the Pavlik fans would throw a sissy-fit. You're a grade A poster, Jetski. :thumbsup
Bernard Hopkins was brilliant. He never made a single mistake that I saw. Kelly Pavlik clearly did not carry the extra weight well. He got a boxing lesson from a master. I just read that Arum says Pavlik will take the mandatory with Rubio as his next fight. Smart move. Give Kelly a chance to get his legs back under him after a humiliating loss.
I was thinking he should take that fight next too lol. Rubio put on a great fight with Ornelas. There fight should provide for good entertainment. Rubio earned the cash tonight, because he wont beat Pavlik but he will make it a good slugfest for a few rounds.
Props to you for making this thread. Kelly will be back. He will beat Abraham at 160 and continue to dominate there.
