Not impressed with pavlik.

[-Antonio-]

Would punisher have kncked this guy out? Would taylor have knocked this guy out? would hopkins have knocked this guy out? would duddy have knocked this guy out? would kessler have knocked this guy out? Would edison miranda have knocked this guy out?

All with the same amount of resistance rubio put up tonight? Yes.. thats no way to fight any of those guys i just named... KO.

Why does it matter when Pavlik knocked out two of the guys you named, and would likely knock out two of the others?

OK Miranda might KO Rubio, Pavlik still destroyed him? If you egt the W, you get W.

wat does that have to do with my comment, and no benard wouldn't knock him out.

lmao.. did you see what benard did to pavlik? yes benard does that and ko's rubio.. I won't even respond to a response saying the way benard fought pavlik wouldnt have ko'd rubio. ..

respond with something different or I wont even respond. We still cool though.

Agreed. He mixed things up a little better sometimes, but nothing drastic. Rubio's body was there all night and he rarely ever went to it. Maybe a shot here and there, but nothing with combos.

His defense is also terrible. He relies on his height so that he picks off shots with his gloves. If you give him good angles, the punches will land. Pavlik didn't impress me much tonight.

you guys got to remember three things


1.He just came off a lost, he won't look nearly as good. EX:Hatton

2.He is kinda facing someone he knows is not his level, it's hard to take it seriously

3.He wants to put a show for his fans

[a-raines21]

he was really patient and he tried to box a lot, which is not how he fights, i guess he wanted to put on a show for his fans.

thats actually what i thought as well... but after a while i was saying to myself "common kelly knock this guy out"

it didnt happen so i was dissappointed

[-Boxzilla-]

i wasnt overly impressed either...

No just stating That I think pavlik is shot.

I think before hopkins pavlik ko's this guy.

By doing what? Ko him? or make him quit on stool.

Yeah, but I disagree. I don't think pavlik has gotten any better or worse. He won't take everyone out in dramatic fashion when he fights. Rubio might have just been game to take punishment. The stream was ****ty, but he looked to just be fine with lasting instead of winning.

wat would you rather see as a fan of a boxer, a quick 3 round knockout, or would you rather see a complete dominated 12 round fight? i would rather see a 12 round fight.

The first step to start showing improvement is against lesser fighters so you can carry it against elite fighters. Cotto looked a lot better coming off a loss then Pavlik did. Cotto went back to the body that he didn't do against Margarito and just patiently hunted Jennings down. He didn't show that boxer-puncher style like he tried before. He also had a nice jab and was very accurate with his punches.
