Kelly Pavlik's Dad Wanted Hopkins Fight Stopped

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mike Pavlik, father and co-manager of WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik, was brutally honest when discussing his son's one-sided decision loss to Bernard Hopkins, which took place last Saturday in Atlantic City. He told Joe Scalzo of the Vindicator that he knew something was wrong with his son after a few rounds and by the seventh, when Hopkins was showboating with bolo punches and landing combination after combination - he was looking for someone in the corner to throw in the towel - fearing for his son's safety.

It's his son. Not alot of fathers would enjoy seeing their son take a beating.

If you cared about your sons safety so much, you would jump in that ring yourself and say no more

That sounds like something that would happen in a Rocky movie.

The injury was common knowledge. We had a report about it like two weeks before the fight.

that injury was talked about days or weeks before the fight and if you listen to pavlik talk after the fight he sounds congested.

What the ****? Why can't they just admit that Pavlik is simply not on Hopkins' level. He got his ass handed to him. They need to accept that and get over it.

I dont like how Pavlik's camp is taking this. I read a quote from Pavlik that said the elbow inury was blown out of proportion and that the guy who leaked it was, "just trying to save his job."

yup a healthy pavlik wont make a difference anyways. Hopkins is just a badddd style for pavlik and anyone else
