    Precisely! In his mind Pavlik wants to be Floyd Mayweather Jr when the reality is he is Arturo Gatti.

    He needs a new trainer, not a nutritionist. He's a physical prodigy, his power at MW was the real deal, and he arguably punches at a world class. His power should carry him to SMW. When Bernard offered to train him and teach him ****, he should have driven to Philly that next ****ing week and spent half a year training with Bernard and being a sponge for everything he could teach him. He told him he needed to fight black IIRC - this is dead-on. Kelly couldn't deal with a guy moving away from his power and circling him. He needs to learn some craftiness and boxing strategy and stop being so one-dimensional. Loew is a career killer for Kelly, he's not a club fighter and he deserves quality training and mentorship.

    Kelly, Power has never been an issue, but his lack of defense, inability to move his head when moving forward has been Pavlic's achilles heel.. Id like to see a video of training working on his weakness, before he gets my vote of confidence.

    For one I don't think people were expecting much out of Pavlik, he was being writen off by many. Just him training hard and throwing punches in a gym may be better then many of their exspectations. The punches look hard and fast but you may see problems.

    Pavlik should not look sharp. According to the last interview I saw from Jack Loew he has not been in the gym since the Lopez fight. And Loew said after Pavlik won the championship getting him to train for fights was an absolute joke. If thats the case it will take some time for Pavlik to get back where he should be.

    He was never taught how to. Kelly is tall and his jab straight right combination worked for him. His trainer was **** so he(the trainer) ran with it.

    its good to see him working hard and i'll always pull for the guy but its amazing how short some people's memories are. for christ's sake the man can fight. you don't work your way up the ranks the hard way and leave the then undefeated mw champ slumped in a corner w/o having some skill.

    no one should watch this video and be surprised that kelly looks like he's seen the inside of a ring before. if he's truly back on track...which i will not believe until i see a couple fights...he's going to be a force again.

    Thanks!

    It sucks because it's not like I dislike Pavlik or his fans, but that kind of work just isn't constructive to anything. I'm not sure if he's just getting back into things, or the mitt-man isn't a real coach, or he's tired/lazy; if he's going to get better, he'll have to cut all that **** out.
