Putting Pavlik's loss, career, and hypetrain into perspective...

he's been undressed twice by two fighters who were past their prime. there needs to be a long talk with the fella in the mirror. you are right, this doesnt have to be a career threatening thing. he's strong, young...but being soundly beaten like this again can challenge someone mentally.

kelly's style requires 100% confidence. a brawler like kelly cannot step through the ropes questioning whether he can out-tough someone and overcome his own shortcomings by sheer force of will.

but regardless what happens...i'll be pulling for him.

 

"His dream is over. DoubleJab gym will go out of business."

:-( :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

Pavlik is a good fighter. However he's limited. He needs to pick his opposition carefully. Whoever is advising him should be fired. Fighting Hopkins was a bad idea. Fighting Mora would have been ill-advised. Fighting Williams would've been somewhat ill-adivised. Fighting Martinez was probably the dumbest move they could've made. If he goes up to 168 he should stay away from Bute, Ward, and Dirrell. I think he can beat anyone else in that division if he's able to maintain his power at 168. If he can't maintain his power, he's in trouble.

 

To tell you the truth NBA I actually felt somewhat sorry for the doofball Kelly Pavlik because I was once a fan but in reality he was a fighter who's hype-train was so out of control that this loss may actually do him more good than harm!!! Team Pavlik and his fans needed to be humbled, and this was the best possible way!!!

Hermit deserves this lost more than anyone on ESB

 

Well it will be hard for him to go on a bum-fest at 168...idk what he will do, but what he SHOULD do is get a new trainer, move up to 168 and prepare himself to fight at the loaded SMW division.

 

he became more aggressive last night when sergio was moving. that was a mistake. he should have stepped back & used his height, which he did in the middle rounds. he will always have trouble with movers & guys who give him angles; however, he can make some adjustments that will allow him to compete.

his style looks devastating against guys who are aggressive & come forward. styles make fights.

his lack of foot speed will always be a handicap he has to overcome, but if he got better advice than double-jab over & over again, then he might be able to overcome it.

 

He gonna move up to 168 and be a decent contender...he should start by giving miranda the rematch so he can see how good he is in comparison of when he was going after the title..if he struggles than we know he isn't the same fighter ..if he doesn't and he gets miranda out in the first 6 like he did the first time than he'll show he can still be a contender if not a title holder...as far as being an undisputed champ again......hell nah he not that good

 

I wonder what happened to Pavlik is Champ?

 

168, decent contender, that's about as good as Pavliks future gets.

 

How the **** can you talk about any "hypetrain"??? At least Pavlik was a unified world champion with several good wins on his ledger and several title defences in his back pocket. You embarrassed yourself by making a thread a day hyping Joshua Clottey up to the hills with completely unjustified praise, and daily masturbatory fantasies about how he was going to cream Manny Pacquiao.

You are the least qualified person on this forum to judge any "hypetrain". ****ing imbecile! :rofl

 

decent fighter but nothing special - joins in a long list of over hyped American Middleweights recently like Taylor and Hopkins.

 

He's a bum, and he won't win back the mw title unless he beats a bum who has a real mw title...

 

...Please! Hopkins is a legend! Don't even say theirs names in the same sentence!
