    The reason why Kelly Pavlik is a slow starter in fights...

    ... someone told me when he hears the opening bell he gets confused and thinks it's last orders at the bar.

    Seriously, I love the guy, but he can't handle movement at all. When an opponent's using lateral motion the only thing Kelly can hit is the bottle.

    People thought he looked dejected when he lost to Hopkins... but he was just worried he'd missed closing time.

    He can't handle movement? he beat jermain taylor when he beat hopkins twice so dont chat ****. He just had personal problems and apparently he had bronchitus when fighting hopkins and couldnt spar or some ****.

    And when he fought sergio martinez martinez fought a excellent fight.

      That's Jermain "foot stuck in a bear trap/leaky gas tank" Taylor, am I right? The movement master who got KO'd by Arthur Abraham?

      As for him having bronchitis against Hopkins... AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!

        It's almost like there's some sort of hidden message here.

              Jermaine moved straight forward or straight back. IMO Jermaine Taylor had some pretty sloppy footwork for the elite level.

                  It's a mystery, ain't it? Though you could argue he didn't, anyway. But yeah, it IS weird how Taylor was able to hang with Hopkins but then was ass ****d at SMW.

                  "I was able to beat Hopkins.... but I couldn't figure out a guy who just stands in front of me with a double guard."
