he just walked hopkins down and let hopkins have his way...
i was practically yelling that pavlik needs to use a damn jab...
hopkins out thought him...and pavlik was trying to be more intelligent than hopkins which was a mistake...pavlik shouldnt have been thinking anything and applied punches in bunches with pressure...instead he tried to win a chess match against someone as intelligent as hopkins.
he let hopkins determine what type of fight it was going to be...
NOT what pavlik should have done.
i only gave pavlik one round in the fight (the round the ref deducted a point from hopkins for excessive holding).
other than that...it was all hopkins.
