Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik Unleashed: Talks Williams, Martinez, Wright

[Matt Marvelous]

Pavlik rolled a lot of those Espino punches. He fought an inside fight on purpose to me. To prove something I guess.

Did you see his face after the fight? Point made. A can was lighting him up because he fought on the wrong territory and Kelly thinks he has this high boxing IQ. This guy is delusional. Reminds me of Allan Green.

Watch rounds 6-12 in the Margarito fight to see how easy Paul is to hit. You can also watch the Quintana fight and the Martinez fight. But yeah, you're right, he just didn't want to be slick in those fights.

I've seen that fight many times. Margarito couldn't lay a finger on him for 6 rounds. When he started smoking he did better, but he hardly was putting hands all over Williams. He landed a few good shots a round, and cut Paul over one eye, but that's it.

oh really??????? when he fought gary lockett the goat( and i mean a literal hairy goat) he did not get criticized in fact comentaters said he deserved the easy fight. plus hbo always talks up his young town heritage and how the white city is full of good people who lost their jobs in the auto industry and how kelly is the hero to the people. he gets talked up because he is white and at the time he was destroying fighters. so him being white was a plus in the marketing dept. kelly is getting criticized not for his skin color, but because he talked so much trash about what he and jack lowe were going to do to b-hop and the betting lines had kelly to win also. then he got a boxing lesson. now he's sick and wasnt himself. well i wouldnt be my self if i was getting hit by all those punches. then the p will debacle. it looked like he went from "come one come all" to anybody but him. that cost him credibility. he looked like a coward. his skin wasnt questioned his heart was.

You Sir are spot on with this post, very well said!!!!

When I read this interview Pavlik said more things that turned me against him than things that would make me support him. One thing I like is that he didn't say anything bad about the super six like he did that one time and said he'd be willing to fight the winner. Fair play. But I am with a lot of other people on here that this dude is one of the most self-centered fighters in the sport right now and a damn cry baby. He doesn't give Hopkins any credit of course and he talks like Abraham wasn't a necessity when they were both in the same division.

Abraham has KOd two guys that Kelly KOd. That's a match up made in heaven and at the end of the day like Calzaghe would say Pavlik got cold feet. And lol at that shot he took at Cotto. I'll bet the Bobfather doesn't appreciate that even though Arum and Cotto don't have as good as a relationship as they used to. But it's true that Cotto gets undeserved title shots without working his way up the latter. I can't say I don't disagree with Pavlik on that.

Pavlik is out of his mind if he thinks he has more boxing skills than Williams. He can throw 3 different punches from the same angles. Martinez will not be there for him to hit. I say MArtinez tunes him up, then Pavlik can go bake to darts and beer in Youngstown.

I didn't think the cards were right but I did think Pwill won the fight too. I think Pavlik will win as well, as he will likely be 10 pounds heavier than Martinez fight night and even though Martinez may hit him more often than he gets hit, I just don't think he can hit him hard enough to hurt him. Everyone forgets that not only was Bhop hitting him first, he was ringing his damn bell, thus slowing the onslaught (and if you don't think its an onslaught rewatch the Miranda fight) and if you've watched the rest of the Pavlik fights he will gladly take a punch to give one if the one he's taking isn't hurting. So he may have eyes swollen shut after with a raised hand about round 10.
On another note, fight fans, wait and see, boxing is going to change forever if Jerry Jones makes a ****load of money on Pacman-Clottey. If he gets seriously involved (and just for the record I am NOT a Cowboys fan) then big money fights will be made much more often than they are now. You think HE wouldn't have worked out Pac-Mayweather with 50 mil on the line?

Did you just put Williams and slick in the same sentence?

LMAO

Words such as "overrated arm puncher" belong in the same sentence with Williams.

[djsygo]

Martinez has the style and the craft to beat him

[El Jesus]

im sick of this guy making excuses for that hopkins loss. "That wasnt me in that ring" shut the **** up and accept that you lost to a superior fighter overall. If you were so damaged, so sick, so hurt, then you shouldnt have gotten in the ring. He lost and thats all there is to it.
