What's up with Pavlik?

he's fighting on the Pac-Margarito card.

 

Naw, he's off the card! Rib injury . He is falling apart basically lately... Poor guy can't catch a break!!

 

Guy can not catch a break.

 

Which is surprising cause he caught a lot of Sergio's punches with his face

 

With the WBO and the WBC both proposing 160 pound title eliminators for Pavlik, and the vague nature of the "rib injury" I smell bull****.

 

too much of the ol' lolly water.

Former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik sustained a rib injury training and has withdrawn from his Nov. 13 fight, co-manager Cameron Dunkin said Monday.

Pavlik was training to face Brian Vera at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in the co-featured bout on the HBO PPV card headlined by Manny Pacquiao against Antonio Margarito.

The fight was supposed to have been Pavlik's first fight since Sergio Martinez badly cut him and outpointed him to win the 160-pound world championship in April.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but I was told by [trainer] Jack Loew that he had a rib injury a few days ago and might not be able to fight, and then he confirmed it to me (Monday) morning," Dunkin said. "I'm heartbroken, I'm devastated, I'm sick to my stomach.

"This was such a great opportunity for Kelly, to be at Cowboys Stadium in front of who knows how many fans in a fun fight on a great show, a great event. I could go on and on."

guy can not catch a break

 

he came into camp under 178, got out of y'town to train, was under 168 a couple weeks ago already, was snapping the mitts...now this.

i was never a fan of the fight to begin w/...w/ the catchweight and all but it would have been a great way to come back. fighting at cowboys stadium and all.

this sucks.

 

Pavlik dirrelled himself out!!

 

Damn man, Pavlik just cant seem to catch a break...This sucks for him...I was actually looking foward to see him back in action.

 

He got drunk and jumped off a roof onto a trampoline

 

yeast infection

 

Even a stinking drunk Pavlik would dispose of Paul Williams in 5 or rounds or less.
