Comments Thread For: Photos: Kelly Pavlik Training For Miguel Espino

[DigitalBeast]

It's probably more to do with the beard, but otherwise he does look to have aged considerably. After last weekend, though, I've gone back to my original thoughts about a Williams fight - Pavlik will still test him.

Bags under his eyes too.

And let the old boxer make his money, DAMN!

I still had a lot of respect and admiration for Pavlik at the start of the year - even after the Hopkins loss and the lacklustre outing against Rubio - but the whole Mora/Williams saga really eroded all that for me, and has seemed to have turned him into a running joke in boxing. It's all good and well for people to poke fun, but I just find it saddening that it's all gone so downhill.

So, whilst he's perfectly entitled to make his money and progress with his career, he hasn't gone about it in the best way. Him and his team could've chosen to handle things better in spite of the illness, such as dropping the titles and trying to regain them when they're absolutely sure that his hand has healed - rather than keep making fights and pulling out suddenly. Fighting another tune-up doesn't help his cause, either.

I still like the guy and want him to bounce back, but I can understand the joking around. It's very easy.

I agree he didn't look too good in those pictures. On the real I hope he gets his **** straight cuz lets be honest he was a very exciting fighter for a couple of years.

B Hop gave Pavlik some of his years.

He may be drinking or doing drugs too much. He used to look so fresh in face, clear-eyed

WTF Happened to Pavlik!? He looks 45 in those pics!!!! Goddamn!!!!!!!

I know man, Pavlik looks rough. He looks like he is hitting the rock in the second pic??????? In the rest, he looks old as hell...Pavlik man, what is going on with you? Hope his home life is ok though, what a shame.

You're right about one thing, though - Martinez did tax that ass! Very prophetic.

I remember your sig quote was the one thing playing on my mind before, during and after that fight. It made an impression on me, and clearly Williams too! :laff2:
