I guess the "Other Factor" that he and jack are hush hush about in the video is that a few days before the fight Kelly was diagnosed with Bronchitis.
He could rule the division, but it's not safe to say that he will. Regarding the fight. I'm sure AA would've done better against BHop. I don't know if he would've had a winning chance, but he would've given BHop a much tougher fight.
Is that true? In either that video or another one, I remember seeing/hearing him turn his face a give out a pretty good cough. But cough or no cough, Hopkins fought a great fight & without better corner advice, the results would prob be the same.
It's easy to beat up on PAV now....now that he's been beaten by Hop...but MOST of you were not saying that he is one "D" and "Exposed" before the fight. Pav isn't one demensional, he's not exposed..he just got a "lesson" from an old cagey vet with a very deep knowledge of the game. Stylistically I said going in to this fight that it didn't favor PAV. I said Bhop would win with is countering and slickness...but I NEVER thought he'd dominate as he did on Saturday. PAV is still a very strong fighter who will continue to dominate at 160....he'll just have to watch for crafty, slick and big fighters. Beating Miranda and Taylor are very soild wins and he did so in dominating fashion...that's not pointing to him being one demensional....although Miranda is one demensional as they come. He just lost to the better man...that's all. He'll learn from it.
Ah....He's a young "WAS UNDEFEATED" and confident in his abilities. It's hard to admit defeat at this level. And PAV did admit defeat. Understandably he was hurt both physically and emotionally and still trying to figure out what went wrong....he wasn't all that bad in defeat, he was just trying to understand and realize WTF just happened.
first things first....and who in the **** are u...he didnt make alot of excuses and didnt whine...your standards...WELL U GET IN THE RING WITH HOPS AND LET ME SEE WHAT U GOT....its so easy for every one to turn their back and say bull**** you people make me sick...pav said he had no excuses, if he would of told everyone that he had broncitis and everyone would of said he was using that as an excuse..what do u want him to say ..he lost and lost bad he knows this and it is a shock to him..not losing but how he lost..i think pav and every one out there was thinking he would win the way hops fought cal but no one . i repeat no one would of won that fight the way hops fought...he fought better than he has for along time...so talking to pav after the fight,right after and hearing him emotional and shocked is understandable..so again if you dont allow yourself that kind of weakness well **** you..you get in there with either fighter and see what you can do...its so easy to sit back and judge,,put your ass there then judge...kelly will be back, hes feeling alot better,and so will jack be back...so sorry for all those who want kelly to get another trainer ...wont happen ...do you honestly think kelly or any fighter is better by switching...they lose one fight, there were mistakes and so everyone condems them....you people are losers..:nono
No need for clarification. Everyone is entitled to their own view. If you want to defend what we heard you have every right, but it's a weak campaign. Objective people wouldn't touch this.
