Pavlik deserves credit and a rematch

[-Antonio-]

Pavlik can pull the trigger just fine. Martinez is a big mover, and Hopkins is a master defensive fighter. It's not the same as letting go on a stationary Miranda or Taylor who kept getting caught on the ropes.

Top Rank should be left scratching their heads on this one. Williams and AA are two big fights Kelly could have fought and won. Instead he fought two guys who are hell for his style.

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.

Posts like these are a joke which completely discredit, actually dont even mention his other fights. I guess you want champions who defend their belts against worthless mandatories instead of challenge themselves, even if its outside their weight class (Taylor, Hopkins). Pavlik has consistently shown himself willing to face best fighters available, how do you have the nerve to knock how bout his ****** title reign?

Who was there to fight at middle? Abraham had just as weak of a title reign as Pavlik. Only difference being that he dismantled a force in Miranda before he got his title while Abraham squeaked by with a plethora of iffy point deductions.

Pavlik NEVER quit and was actually doing his thing in the middle rounds UNTIL Sergio opened him up.....Pavlik got pizza faced by a a guy he out-weighed by 11 pounds......thats props worthy?!?

I liked pavliks interview at the end, he was pretty honest and comes across as a decent guy, he did well in the middle rounds and should get his rematch even though i would much prefer a williams martinez rematch, both are better than pavlik imo

I don't want to see a rematch of this fight, because there are better fights out there for Sergio. I think Floyd, Mosley, and Williams stand a better chance of beating Sergio than Pavlik does. But we might see the fight again because of a rematch clause.

Nobody gives the guy an ounce of credit. All you do is call him "club brawler" or whatever, and I can't believe it. The dude gives us good fights all the time and what he fought through last night made me like him even more. I'd like to see "Sexy Sergio" fight with those kind of cuts on his face. He probably would not have made it knowing his modeling career might be in danger. I like Sergio. He is a good fighter who got robbed out of a couple wins but give Pavlik some credit. I'd like to see a rematch.

what credit? credit for fighting like a moron?

Why the hell did he kept coming forward when he wasn't even letting his hands go. Like watching a man using his face for a punchbag.

Martinez's right cross was landing at will at almost every chance he wanted to pull that punch it was painfall watching it. Getting right crossed from a man with much shorter arms than you is really a disgrace.

The only consalation i can give Pavlik is that he looks drained, he needs to move up in weight class because he look like a shell of a man there against a man even smaller than him. You guys see how frail his back and shoulder blades and his legs looked like straws.

He needs to move up cus it looks like he's killing himself to make this weight. Im not sure his skill sets are gonna be gud enough in a higher weight class either, cus those mofos aint gonna pita pata like martinez.

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 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.

thats because sergio didnt let him pull the trigger.


DUH!

thats because sergio didnt let him pull the trigger.


DUH!

This wasn't the only fight he looked sluggish in he looked like complete **** against hopkins. I just think he is done, i hope not but i don't think he wins another meaningful fight ever again!
