Give Kelly ***lick a break. He caught the Ebola virus the night before the fight and ended up getting aids in the dressing room. Plus Hopkins came into the fight weighing 297 pounds and grew like 4 inches taller.
Pavlik's "elbow injury" can eat a ****

Well obviously Kelly is going to say the elbow is nothing going into the fight. Hopkins is going to try and exploit any potential weakness his opponent might have and if he learned that he had a bruised up elbow the outcome might have been even worse for Kelly.
Also the weight really is an issue. I'm not sure if Pavlik was actually 171 but I remember he weighed at least ten pounds less than Hopkins when HBO was doing the tale of the tape before the fight. To practically jump two weight classes at age 26 when you're fighting comfortably at middleweight is very difficult.
Loew shouldn't make excuses though. People are going to think what they are going to think regardless of the points he makes, and making excuses just makes him look like a prick.Comment
I agree. Melly is a great fan
