Ok guys, I posted a thread some time ago asking if you thought possible that B-Hop can put a Trinidad schooling on Pavlik and it happened. http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88986 Anyway, I have to be honest, I was rooting for B-Hop but I never expected that it was going to be such a one sided fight. Now, let's see the reality and what can possibly happen in the near future. 1. Unfortunately we won't see JC vs Pavlik and to be honest and if it ever happens I think that JC takes it by UD. Just because he will outwork KP. 2. We all need to hope that RJJ pulls the win over JC so as in my perfect world we can see the much anticipated farewell rematch between RJJ vs B-Hop. 3. Kelly was exposed but let's be honest, how many other fighters today are like B-Hop?? I am sure that Kelly will bounce back from this and keep his great career. I really feel for the Youngstown people and KP fans today. I am from PR and I've seen some fights that had got into my skin when a great fighter from our country loses ie: Cotto vs Margo & Tito vs B-Hop (coincidence). The fact is my friends that Pavlik is still a force in the gam. He shouldn't feel shamed to lose to B-Hop and actually... B-Hop gave Kelly more credit that what I have seen B-Hop give to any other fighter recently. Discuss...
I'm with you on two things in particular, Gandul. First, I was pulling for Hops and thought he had a shot to win it, but I didn't expect it to be one sided. I thought that Pavlik being the favorite was correct. Second, I too, would love to see a B-Hop/RJJ farewell fight. It would be a great way for both guys to cap off their careers. Pavlik's fans should stay in his corner because I think he still has a great future. One of the HBO guys commented that Bernard showed the blueprint on how to beat Kelly, but not many people are going to be able to "execute" that plan.
Great call man. This was close to the Trinidad beat down and Hopkins nearly knocked him out late as well.
Let's see how everything plays out... JC seems like a guy who doesn't want to take a lot of chances lately and KP is definately a threat to JC.
I'll be honest with you Scar... when I saw B-Hop with his mask again entering the ring... I thought to myself.... Is September 2001 all over again!!!! :bbb
calzaghe will never fight pavlik just got exposed at this weight ,calzaghe will retire undefeated!!!!and by the way this proves how good calzaghe doesn't it!!!!
