    I like Kelly despite his fans.
    He showed heart and I thought that he turned it in the middle rounds.
    I think that he could beat Williams but he needs to dump lowe and get a new corner.

    I don't dislike Kelly...

    but I do dislike his trainer and fans

    He took it like a man and its obvious that he needs to pick his opponents better.

    That's a bit of a problem though right. Pick someone that is to your style and detractors will slam you for being too cautious. Picking the best to fight and people will say you didn't measure up.

    Well, yeah, but only if you actually don't measure up though.

    It's obvious Pavlik needs a new trainer. Loew has taken him as far as he can, and now Kelly needs to make some adjustments. Pressure alone isn't getting it done, and his size won't be as much of a benefit at 168.

    Pavlik also obviously needs to get his life together outside the ring. With the rumors and the odd infection thing, stuff doesn't add up.

    I'd like to see him work on adding explosive muscle — at least as much as that's possible — and focus on pivoting. He doesn't need to be a Martinez, but his inability to turn and fire is killing him.

    Pavlik/Andrade is a fight I'd like to see at 168 and one that probably would appeal to HBO. This is one Kelly should win and would give him a nice confidence builder against someone with name recognition.
