So, how will that mandatory go for him? Personally, Top Rank AND HBO put Kelly in this position. He could have fought Rubio instead, or Paul Williams, or Sergio Mora, or John Duddy, or...see where I'm going? Personally, Pavlik ought to push for that fight on Versus. They spotlighted him when no one else would. Make a comeback (albeit more convincing) on their net like Hatton and show it was just a case of a young, still learning talent being thumped by an old school master. Damn, after this fight, can Hopkins train Pavlik? He needs something new. Jack Loew is great, but he's doing Kelly no favor by not making his game more well-rounded.
Pavlik takes him out, Unless this Sat.'s defeat did more to Pavlik than just bruise. (Sometimes a loss like the one he took, KILLS)
