Man! What a close one. As i was reading it, I was sure the end was gona read, "Hopkins fight postponed". I was gona be so upset. An elbow clash is nothing to worry about. I would fought the same day with that weak crap. I'm sure Kelly would do the same.

He clanged elbows with his sparring partner Byron Mitchell. Sparring is called off.

Loew is advising they are still going ahead with the fight.

Because something that petty should heal by fight night.

horrible news for the pavlik camp. you gotz to be 100% 'gainst my mans b-hop. pavlik's toughness may cost him in the end if they proceed while injured. im liking b-hops chances more and more with each passing day!!

[roundingace]

Bahh, Pav is fine. Just a routine training blunder. He'll be fine and proceed to do what we all know he's gonna do to old man Hop.

[Pugilistic™]

Damn that was close. I thought the fight was off.

Thank **** for that.

I doubt the injury will have any effect on him on fight night.

[RL_GMA]

I hope he is still gonna be 100%. Trust me, Pavlik fans are just as worried as Hopkins fans.
Hopkins is a dirty fighter and can make anyone look bad, even a fighter Joe Calzaghe.

****...LOL...I'm not worried one bit

I see Pavlik's workrate causing problems for Bernard.

Pavlik's win will be more decisive than Calzaghe's IMO.

exactly. i dont like to hear injury news so close to fight night......if the injury is serious, pull out. if not, why mention it at all.

i hope this won't be an excuse for pavlik if he loses, or looks bad for that matter............

[Pullcounter]

It doesn't appear too serious. Only a couple days off sparring. A lot of small injuries occur in training so as long as he gets the sparring-mileage neccesary he'll be ok.

gives pavlik an excuse for looking bad.

He clanged elbows with his sparring partner Byron Mitchell.

Training with the first man to knock Calzaghe down. Though Mitchell is kind of not doing good in his career right now.
