Hhhmmmm.......my 1st reaction was that it would be too soon for my liking, rather see him take an easier fight,but damn, why not. anyone who is available and worth fighting is dangerous. Just wonder what effect another defeat might have should it happen....long and short term.
KP can't really afford to lose at this point. On the other hand he probably feels like he lost the first fight for all the wrong reasons, and one can certainly make that argument. A second fight would present a high risk/enormous reward scenario. It's all speculation at this point because we don't know anything about weight. From 160-175 there are a ton of top 20 type guys who do not have anything scheduled.
The Long Road Back for Kelly Pavlik http://www.badlefthook.com/2011/1/3/1912009/the-long-road-back-for-kelly-pavlik
cam dunkin is reporting that kelly is 176lbs, worked out everyday while in rehab, "looks like a tight end" and is back in the gym. he will not be fighting at mw and will campaign as a smw.
degale won't happen. cam threw 3-4 million out there as a starting point. that, or anything close, will never happen. he was probably just telling warren to go **** himself by saying that but whatever. bika, andrade, steiglitz...
Pav wouldnt make $3-4 mil against anyone other than a top name at this point, ridiculous to ask for that amount of money for what should be perceived as an easy fight against a prospect for him. How much is Pav likely to make against the likes of Andrade, Bika? Warren could probably offer the same, if not more, for a fight against DeGale
I just hope the abuse hasn't eroded his skills, that's the biggest issue for me, whether the drink has taken away something physically, that made him him so effective.
Good to hear. Any update on if he is planning to accept Arum's invitation to fight on the Pac-Mosley card? Pav-Andrade would be a nice first test although Andrade is still under GBP I believe...
the article said that kelly is back in his gym training and will tell cam when he thinks he'll be ready. dunkin said he'll then see what TR has for him. hopefully he can make the pac/mosely card. that would be a good coming out party. i've always wanted to see him fight andrade and you know andrade would love to fight him.
hope he comes back strong. he can be very successful in the next year or two if he focuses and works hard.
Would be a great story if he could return and dominate again. It would shut up those hateful ****s reveling in his fall from grace. Heres hoping The Ghost returns to his old self.
