Kelly Pavlik has become an alcoholic?

[TheGreatAli]

Big rumours coming out of Youngstown that Kelly's drinking is out of control now, possible reason for the two cancellations in a row? Wasn't there a story of him and Loew in a pub brawl not long back too?

[catalinul]

Nothing confirmed.

Actually denied.

[Crazylegs77]

Was he drunk in the Hopkins fight?

[DonTaseMeBrah]

Was he drunk in the Hopkins fight?

That might explain how sluggish & unathletic he looked. Or is that his regular sober look?

[Sir Tom Jones]

never a fan but a bit sad if he is hitting the bottle.

[MonsieurGeorges]

I've never seen anything published about this but i'm interested to see if there's any truth to it

[Gettin Jiggy]

am also hearing strong rumours about him hitting the bottle! shame if true

[ArthurSherwoode]

Any of you ever been to Y-Town? I mean, can you blame him?

I agree, he has a million reasons to drink but I think he has like a million and one reasons why not to drink. It's sad that something so deadly as alcohol is legal and yet something so harmless as Marijuana is illegal

Agree. Honestly, I think a lot of this is overblown. Up here (Cleveland area here) we hear a bit about his partying, but not all like that. I have it on pretty good info (FOAF kinda thing) that the staph infection is real and that Kelly will be back, and he'll be looking for blood. He's not accustomed to being this inactive and will be a mean MF when he comes back.
