According to the news of the fight: Boxing Buzz Looks like former Contender star Brian Vera (17-5, 11 KOs) is the new frontrunner to face Kelly Pavlik on November 13th in Dallas.
I have a couple questions for all the hater-aid drinkers. 1) How come it was perfectly okay for Abraham to defend his title against Demers, but it's not okay for Pavlik to fight the guy who knocked Demers out faster than AA did? 2) You all seem to think you know who Pavlik should fight, so I'll assume you're privy to all the financial details. How much money is available to pay a Pavlik opponent?
I read on ringtv that Pavliks corner is still trying to stop the bloodflow from the cuts he received fighting Martinez. I doubt he will be ready in time.
Pavlik will only get worse from this point onward. The fact that he isn't going after Martinez to avenge the loss of the MW crown is telling of his psychological status. Injuries and embarrassing losses will take a big toll on his desire and hunger, which is one of the things that made him so effective a couple of years ago.
You also forgot to mention taking care of himself between fights. He's an alcoholic . It's quite sad actually.
Sorry you can't accept Kelly is a week minded alcoholic who's career is pretty much done. Watching him fight is like watching the tin man from Wizard of Oz. Hes so stiff and robotic . He can only throw a "double jab with a straight right" added with an occasional left hook to the body. He gets slower and slower every fight and his cuts are worse than Arturo (RIP) Gatti's at this point of his career. He wines and is a cry baby. Plus he's toast if he fights anyone decent with any kind of moblity. His best days are behind him. He really is just a John Duddy caliber fighter now days. Stop dick riding that bum.:-(
The people complaining about this fight are haters and just want to see Pavlik against elite competition right now while hes vulnerable so that if he loses he becomes irrelevant. Theres a huge difference between fighting lousy fighters when you're the champion and when you're not.
The bull**** is rather boring actually. Same old **** from the same people, only now some of them have alts.
