Pavlik-Williams: Doctor Clears Kelly To Train

[Frank Martin]

Thank goodness. The threat of the match being cancelled is gone.

It's based on styles.. , Kellys one dimensional style, his 1, 2 style. Williams ability to fight inside, Kellys lack of fighting on the inside...Williams stamina down the stretch, his workrate... Williams head and leg movement.. Kellys plodding coming forward style.

I see Williams UD 8-4.

every fighter Williams ever faced HAD to fight on the inside with him due to height disadvantage. Except Quintana, who somehow stayed outside and look what happened. Kelly can stay outside all fight cuz he don't have the huge height/reach disparity every other fighter suffered. Pavlik KO.

When Paul wins, is Pavlik gonna make excuses?

ABSOLUTELY. Guys like Pavlik, Hatton and Wlad always make excuses for a loss.

Either he'll make it himself, or his promoter/trainer will make it for him.

about time.

Pavlik seriously needs to get himself sorted out mentally and get back in the game.

I think Paul will beat him, just fighting how he does, lots of fast, fluid combos, moving around, tagging the head and body, attacking from various distances, Kelly will fight back hard, and will definitely lay a few on P-Will, and I see lots of toe to toe action, but the faster, sharper fighter in P-will takes a UD or possibly a late stoppage.

It would be foolish to count Kelly out however. He is a strong puncher and very game, if he can hurt Williams badly we could see a much closer fight than predicted, we would need to see Paul successfully fight while hurt, which we havent seen him do.

The key for Paul is just to do his usual thing as i mentioned before, volume, combos and speed. The key for Kelly is to try and hurt Paul with heavy shots, and use his natural size and strength to try and wear Paul down. But my tip is he wont be able to do that.

must have been a year ago when calzaghe was 'ducking' pavlik,what a ****in joke a lot of so-called fans really are

[Blue Heffner]

pavliks reign is over IMO... hell never be atop the MW division again as long as Pwill is there, and I dont think he will do that well at 168.

Kelly at 168lbs = early retirement. I don't think he'd win a fight against the top fighter in that division. It's sucks because if he loses to Paul he no where to go but up.

[DaTrooth]

I didnt discredit the loss I described exactly what happened... and nice way of completely leaving out the part where Quintana was KNOCKED OUT in the FIRST ROUND by Williams in the rematch... Calling Paul Williams a hype job is ignorance to talent.

Get the *** outta here. You and **** riding black fighters when will it stop? Look at paul williams resume and tell he's proven, go for it tell me how great he is.

ABSOLUTELY. Guys like Pavlik, Hatton and Wlad always make excuses for a loss.

while i cant speak on if wlad makes excuses i completely disagree with your statement about pavlik and hatton when hatton lost to floyd he took responsibility and said that he got reckless and just started rushing in and the same with pac he said that his heart over ruled his head, but i guess i can see where youre coming from because he did blame the ref a little bit but if you really look at it he had had that ref before (for the castillo fight) and the way he conducted that fight was 100% different than how he conducted the hatton mayweather fight but still no fighter can ever blame anyone but themselves for the out come of a fight...and with pavlik with his lone loss to bhop if you watch the post fight interview he said that he got taken to school so how is that making excuses? and if im wrong in anyway please correct me
