Kelly Pavlik: "That Wasn't Me in There, I Had Nothing"

[steptwome]

Lateral movement ****ed him up. "I didn't know how to adjust" would have been a resonable statement at best.

That was after the fight and Pavlik was in shock.

Trust me after a few hours, humble pie sunk in and bit him. He will realize the reason he was stale was totally due to what Bernard did and not what Pavlik didn't or couldn't do.

Bernard dictated. He was the ring master that night when Pavlik's team were prepared to meet an old man instead. They simply did not train the way they should have for Bernard. They thought he would be old, get tired quick and they would walk him down. Bernard would have none of it.

If Pavlik would have been more prepared, he may have made more of a fight out of it, but I just cannot see him beating the Bernard that fought him Saturday. Bernard was in an incredible groove and more determined than I have seen him in years.

Who was it then pavlik? What the hell ever face you got you ass schooled cause you were way overrated and get over it..Go back down to middleweight fail to make weight and get ktfo by Arthur Abraham.

leave pavs alone

fellas leave pavlik alone
the guy gave credit to Hopkins
but is mentally trying to figure out why he lost

all fighters who lose do that, how can they admit
defeat when in their heart they know they are great?

if they dont think this way then they aint fighters right?

Young man you are a limited fighter. you got exposed in the ring by a veteran boxer. he moved and gave you angles the whole night. he also beat you to the punch and made you reset the whole night! Better matchmaking in the future by your management! But I see a lot of young guns in the MW division with some of those attribute so your time may be running out. And I don't see you improving any time soon.

Don't write off the middleweight champs whole career based on a loss to B-hop. Hopkins gives anyone he fights trouble and there is no shame in losing to him, especially 10 lbs above your natural fighting weight. Stop being so naive.

Jones is the only fighter to beat Bernard without controversy. -end

Excuses, excuses.

[Carlisle]

Dont be in denial.

Naw it was you alright.. getting your ass whupped.. trust me that was you that night. Dont be in denial.

i agree pavs is good, IMO he beats just about everybody from 160 to 168, but where in this article do you see him giving credit to hopkins? the only credit he gave him was saying he had him hurt twice......then he went on to say he can't figure out why he lost b/c he felt fine, and hs still couldn't get off. he said it HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOPKINS'S ATHLETICISM OR CRAFTINESS...the crybaby said he beat jermaine twice, and jermaine beat hopkins twice (which he didn't, but that has nothing to do w/ pavlik and hopkins anyway)....BUT the most ridiculous thing he said was:

calzaghe and taylor HIT HOPKINS AT WILL......

the next excuse will be "pavlik thinks he was drugged before the fight!!!!" LMAO!!!!

o, that one's already taken..........SMH

[argminasyan]

Are all boxers just morons. dont keep saying " im not making excuses" and then go on paragraph after paragraph making excuses. give me a break, maybe Pavlik got hit in the head too much...
