Pavlik was very classy in defeat, unlike Kessler/Abraham

[ThePlugInBabies]

you mean just like how humble and classy he was when hopkins beat his arse all over the ring?

i lost count of the pathetic excuses him and his team put out after that whitewash.

Both Pavlik and Sergio have class. Sergio has loads himself. He took his two debatable decisions without bitching and complaining.

How did some people forget his cry-baby antics after that fight. He even had an interview with Boxingscene where he cried like a ***** saying **** like how come Calzaghe and Taylor can beat Bhop but not me. He was using triangle theories.

Kessler was classy in defeat. He brought up the headbutts which were obviously a factor and also gave credit to Ward which was obviously another factor.

Abraham was coming on when his opponent slipped and Abraham knocked him out while he was down. Abraham didn't realise that Dirrell was really down when he hit him so of course he was pissed and disappointed. Not to mention that the round just before he was robbed of a clear cut knockdown so he was probably feeling like he was being shafted by the home town ref..

I don't see what Pavlik could have used as an excuse even if he wanted to. If he complained about making weight, then his rematch clause would become bogus. Apart from that there's nothing to complain about.

Were you watching the fight on a black and white television? There was blood pouring from both eyes Ive heard much worse excuses than I got beat because I couldnt see, but he chose to give Sergio full credit.

I admit Pavlik was gracious in defeat. Props to him.

But I dont like how you mentioned Glen Johnson, The guy has been screwed over so many times he had a right to complain. About half of his "losses" were in the other guy's hometown. Johnson has my respect, He earned every inch of success of his career.

I do agree about Kessler though, He got his ass whooped for 10 rounds and then said he should have won because he thought Ward was deliberately butting him. Pathetic, The guy got schooled.

Agreed to an extent, but you hear from this guy and he acts like he's never been beaten.

Pavlik was a cry-baby when he lost to BHOP.

yep he sure was

[BattlingNelson]

Is a comparison between Pavlik and Kessler valid at all? Was Pavlik a victim of excessive headbutting? Did he lose on a DQ??

Of course they cannot compare. Circumstances was completely different so the thread is full of fail.

Besides Kessler gave Ward full credit. He also said that he couldn't see out of his eye because of the butts. How can that be not classy? What would you expect a classy guy to say?

[minasyan]

No one has more class then Kessler, did you see him in the Super 6 series just after the fight?

honestly, what else was kessler supposed to say? "no he didn't actually headbutt me all night long, it just looked like that. props to ward"
