Comments Thread For: Hopkins Stands Behind Kelly Pavlik's Road To Recovery

[MELLY-MEL...]

right, it was the whole working class thing bhop liked about him. He talked about it a lot leading up to their fight.

Anyways, I was glad hopkins whooped kelly as a fan but saddened by the quick downward spiral pavlik's career has gown since. He had a lot of fans a ton of hype around him now that is all gone.

I think he could have beet martinez if he was 100% in the fight, to think he was in rehab just days prior before the fight is crazy. I think that's why he gained so much weight after the weigh in and was so easily cut/swollen.

best of luck to pavlik. I still think he needs a new trainer. "touch his nuts" and "double the jab" isn't going to cut it anymore.

i feel the same way son......good post.

I wouldn't want Soapy standing behind me.

dude seriously....shut the fuc* up, martinez whipped his a$$ plain and simple, i dont give a **** if he was in rehab, he shouldnt have fought if that were the case, no excuses, he's pulled out of fights before remember dummy? why not pull out the martinez fight, that would have been a real reason NOT to fight.

Martinez won the fight, no doubt. But Kelly won a few of the middle rounds, and clearly was not 100%. Let's not act like it was a lop-sided beatdown, because it clearly was not.

people tend to forget pavlik was doing some good work on martinez for a number of rounds and for a minute there it felt like pavlik was going to win the fight.

I remember clearly, I had money on martinez to win by decision, and was thinking, "*****, this is not good!" But to martinez' credit he turned it around, cut kelly up bad with those quick combo's.

That had everything to do with Martinez taking his foot off the gas. He even said it after the fight that it was his plan to come on in the later rounds.

Yea, I think people tend to forget that it was a competitive fight before Pavlik started bleeding like crazy around the 9th. I had money on Martinez as well at +400 to win by decision and I was sweating it out around the 8th round or so when Pavlik was closing the gap.

Hell yes he needs to get rid of Loew.

I mean, aside from his limitations as a trainer, didn't Kelly get in a barfight or something when he was out drinking with Loew about 12-18 months ago?

It doesn't look like Loew knows whats best for Pavlik at this stage of his career, in or out of the ring. Kelly needs to ditch his loyalties.

Pavlik received a lot of hate and backlash for not fighting Arthur Abraham. But my god, what an easy win for Pavlik that would've been now looking back at it. Pavlik would've dominated that dude, and that's why Arum is ****** for hurting his fighter's image like that by not making the fight when it was hot.

Keith Idec the moron

Keith Idec is an effin moron and an imbecile. I can not believe people like him are hired as writers.
His article reeks of ******ity - let's look at facts against the claims he makes on this ******ed article.

Hopkins vs Pavlik: The only reason why this fight drew more than 10,000 fans was because of Pavlik and u know it. Thousands of fans made their way from Ohio to NJ. Everyone knows that.

Hopkins vs Tarver: Did you see the undercard of this fight? There was Israel Vaszquez, Ivan Hernandez and Hector Camacho jr to mention a few. All Mexicans with bona fide fans.

Hopkins can NEVER bring fans to his fights that's why he fights bigger names so he can justify his claims as a legend and Keith is an idiot for not realizing that.
