Pavlik deserves credit and a rematch

[southpaw2884]

he has the tools he is tall and he has power but i just think jack doesnt step up his training like look at his build he needs to step it up

First off I am a fan of Kelly Pavlik, and I do agree he does need a new trainer. But at the same time he can't pull the trigger anymore, I don't know what happend but it all started in the Hopkins fight and I thought it was just because he went up in weight and was just sluggish but he just couldn't get his shots off very fast last night and wasn't as active as he should of been. I don't know if he will ever bounce back but I hope he does and I do think he should consider hiring a new head trainer and if he wants to keep Jack around as another corner man like Cotto is doing with Santiago so be it.

Kelly should forget about the rematch and get a new trainer move from youngs town & move up a weight as well.

i agree cause when he beat miranda and taylor he looked like a beast. but like you said hopkins ****ed wit him and now he is not the same. and sergio is good dont get me wrong i wanted him to win. but his style is annoying

[Picazo]

all these pavlik supporters, the belst is for THE BEST fighter in a division...pavlik lost to a better fighter, he deserves about as much credit as anyone else you lost their belt to another fighter..pretty much coming up in weight as well. Sergio did his thing.

He really needs a new trainer. But he never will because he is too loyal. Could be his downfall. I'm not saying if he had a better trainer he would have won. But come on...who is Jack Loew.

Pavlik cant handle basic skills of a pure boxer, lateral movement, a jab, quick combinations, and his defense is awful, that effectively makes him a club C level fighter.

How can you watch last nights fight and think that? He actually adjusted well mid fight and won about 4 rounds in a row. After the first two rounds it didn't look likely.

He's actually decent defensively. He's just way too slows, and it leaves him more vulnerable. Martinez fought a brilliant 10th round and it was all cake from there.

I like Kelly's style a lot, he is tough and likes to knock guys out. But what does he deserve credit for ? He got outclassed and beat by a smaller man. Sergio put on one hell of a performance, happy to see him win but Kelly disappointed me more that Sergio impressed.

exactly. it was more of a letdown not seeing Kelly firing off any shots. i give Kelly credit for controlling serg in the middle rounds and reducing his offense. during that part of the fight Kelly was cutting off the ring, and finding his range without getting hit. Paul Williams did not look happy. Then Serg dug down and took a risk and scored a great left that changed the fight. Paul Williams looks happy again. lol.

so now we should praise Pavlik for having one of the worst middleweight title reigns in history? He had four defenses and three were against complete bums. The one good fighter he defended his crown against, he had an 11 pound weight advantage over and STILL got whooped. Pavlik deserves no credit whatsoever. He's the worst middleweight champ we've had in my lifetime.

as far as Pavlik getting a new trainer, i think he needs to add more boxing training to his workouts. looks like he's just conditioning to make 160 and relying on what got him to the top to keep him there. i wonder who he was sparring with, and what they worked on because even in the rounds he was winning he still was a bit hesitant to let his hands go.

if hes too loyal to his camp, it wouldnt hurt to add someone to work on adding some new angles to his game.
