Pavlik's Team lost it for him........

1.Leow as a trainer against Hopkins was a joke. This guy would rather be at a 24/7 taping rather than train Kelly. 2. Bob Arum..Is smarter than this dumb decision. Go up 10lbs and fight a bigger Bernard Hopkins that just held his own against Calzaghe when he had huge offers like Arthur Abraham, Winky Wright and Paul Williams at 160. 3. Pavlik crew for not warning Pavlik that Bernard Hopkins is a bad man.

No fault with Arum in this case.
The blame goes really IMO to Pavlik and maybe a little bit to his trainer for not adjusting to Hopkins' style of fighting.
Pavlik is best when he throws straight punches and it was obvious before the fight happened that Hopkins was not going to try and stand in front of him. Pavlik did a poor job adapting to Hopkins style and that is his mainly his fault because a smarter fighter may have figured him out.
