If Hopkins beats Pavlik, I don't wanna hear nobody in this goddamn forum to use that as an excuse cause people have a way to disect a fighters accomplishments with any little detail they can find. Hopkins is a 43yr. old fighter, so if anybody uses this elbow bruise as an excuse if Pavlik loses the fight, than your gonna expose yourself as being bias.
Yup but if the fight is a one sided fight like Hopkins gave Tarver, you people are gonna try and pull the bruise elbow card.
I don't think Pavlik's elbow is going to effect him come fight time as he'll come in throwing like he always does..
yea what u mean "you people" i like b-hops but even tho he schooled joe, he got slapped too many times. kelly don't slap and he's for real. don't worry, b-hops gonna be alright...NOT!
If the elbow was visibly bothering him, like we could all see him favoring it or protecting it plain as day, then what? I know it sounds like a good thing to say, "Doesn't matter..." but sometimes they do. Doesn't mean Hopkins' win wasn't legitimate either. That day, regardless of anything else, the better fighter won.
If Pavlik loses this fight it's because his elbow was giving him trouble! %100 Pavlik KO 6 B-Hop! There I beat everyone to it. :good
When you get into the ring, "no excuses" is what fighters say. If he is hurt, postpone the fight...AA did, and he was sick.
i'm gonna go right off the bat and say that if PAvlik really has an injured elbow, then that makes this a tougher fight for him.
