Kelly Pavlik - The Next Big Hype?

[GooGoo]

i dont have illusions about winning titles, im in it for the hard work, whateve happens happens

good luck!

[HeartAttack]

im 25 myself, im in damn near as good a shape at 190 as i can be ( i played football in college at 215, i am a shade over 6'3. sometimes when i sauna and workout hard ill be down around 184-185. i guess its a question of how much that last 7 pounds will kill me coming off... ive never really tried to push it... my height would be a significant advantage at 178 but i dont want to fall flat on my face either.. its a tough call, hopefully my trainer will be able to give me a better idea when he sees more of me.

will i have to weigh in same-day in the ams? i guess i never even thought to ask

pavlik rules

For us down in Florida we its a yes in regards to tournaments. This is my first year training. Most of the guys I train are older than me, 28-31. So don't feel so bad about being 25 and being a little older. I actually get into the ring with my guys and spar, its fun for me. At 6'3" don't try to wither down to 178. The amatuers are usually heavier for their height. You might find many 178 guys 5'10"-6'0" and the same for the 201 fighters. So the best thing you can do is come in healthy and strong for the fight period. Good luck.

What makes me laugh, when I was winning my 1500 vCash thanks to Kelly Pavlik, there was only about 5 other people on the WHOLE forum who agreed with me. Now it seems that everyone knew Pavlik was gonna win all along.

I was one of them, but I have to admit, I had to do some rush YouTube and Boxrec searches to make the decision to bet on Pavlik.

I remember you picked Pavlik to win. What I remember even more is the avatar you had of the girl's naked bum.

I took it down after one of the members started complaining about children seeing it on their computer.

the thing about Pavlik is he has zero good wins unlike the Guinn's and Mesi's who all had at least one good win before they were reduced to rubble

De La Hoyas success hinged around him being good looking, and very well spoken. He apeared "sensitive" and drew a huge female fan base. I think Pavlik has the ability to perhaps become more popular with fight fans then De la Hoya, but never with the general public.

Kelly Pavlik has the goods

Overhyped? To my mind the fighter overhyped is Taylor. He didn't win against Hopkins, Wright, and his win over Spinks was lackluster. Pavlik has the power, yes he lost to Taylor as an amateur, but it was his first year as a senior amateur, Taylor had an enormous experience advantage, also don't confuse the pitty patty amateur bouts with what is going to happen in September, the tiger is going to be let loose and his name is not Taylor.

The thing about pavlik is that he is an excellent boxer, but he gets hit way too much in his professional career.
