Good article. Thanks for sharing. I've always been a fan of Pavlik's and hit two years sober on Monday.
I think the article is dead on when it talks about Kelly being a main component in ANY big fight at 168. Kelly's a ticket seller, plain and simple. and either the winner of S6 or lucian bute need to fight kelly if there is to be another superfight that rivals Calzaghe/Kessler in this weight class.
kelly just needed to get a grip on his destructive lifestyle and by the looks of this he's trying i just hope hes serious about it. otherwise he self defeats too easy. good article.
I wish the guy the best, I'm a fan and have continued to be, but I think he knows, and the best line in the article is that this is the most important fight of his career. He has to win and look good and he knows it. I fully expect him too. Then we can talk about moving on to bigger things.
Kelly's attitude, sparring video, and the general indicators suggest that KP is doing pretty darn good. I'm excited about seeing him on the 7th. If he really is on track as well as it seems, Lopez won't last 5 rounds even though he is the biggest guy Pav ever fought.
I feel real good about it too. Genuinely excited for the first time in a while here. Kelly will show 'em.:yep
