I think Pavlik needs a new team.

I could be alone on this one, but it doesn't seem like they've tought him anything since the B-Hop fight, they offer him no advice in the corner, and his cutman has the shakiest hands i've seen on a cutman before.

And Sergio was the wrong style fighter to bring him in against after a long layoff. I know the middleweight division sucks right now, but there has to be someone with kind of a name thats not that slick...


I don't know, i've fealt this way since the Bhop fight when instead of telling him to go win the fight, his corner kept telling him "don't worry you're still the middleweight champ"

[Killa Killa]

Yea he does...

He didn't seem to have the same spark that he previously had...

And he was very loose...I know he trained, but he wasn't as lean as he previously had been...

Plus his corner wasn't telling anything regarding the adjustments that needed to be made...sort of like Cotto's corner vs Pacquiao...

Time to part ways...

Oh...and the cutman ******...all he did was press on the cuts with towels...

At one point it looked like he was going to stick the coagulent right in Kelly's eye socket.

For fairness, i'm not putting all the blame for his loss on his corner, but i don't think they're giving him a chance.

Its seemed like he let all the negative opinions get to him.
Even in the beginning of the fight when he was losing before mounting a comeback he looked like he wanted to give up in the corner.

He needs to get that hunger back and maybe a new team could give him a new routine and remotivate him + add some new technique.

Jack Loew Must Go

haha nah your definitely not alone on this one mang. people have been saying this probably even before he got whooped by hopkins. He is to loyal and will never get a new team though.

[geribeetus]

i doubt it would've helped him but i agree his corner is garbage

[DIB42]

I think the loyalty to his corner may have run out after this fight... I'm curious to see if he takes the rematch, or if he jumps weight, or changes his corner or makes any of the typical "just got my ass kicked but i don't want to retire" moves.
