I will answer some now and finish later... I wouldnt call the Lopeck fight a "gimme" ...he was very strong and determined in there, had experience (stopped Maurice Harris at cruiser)...I definitely didnt look at him as a 'gimme' for me, it was an ESPN fight, 10 rds, and I won it...I was not knocked out by Thadzi, that's a pet peeve of mine. Micky Ward wasn't knocked out by Vince Phillips (cut), Oliver McCall wasnt knocked out vs Lennox (breakdown), and I wasn't knocked out vs. Drake. I wasnt even ever hurt in the fight, I promise you. Its a long story for my book, I felt the need to explain it all in there, but basically I was severely weight drained and emotionally I was literally a zombie...I often compare myself to McCall without the crying...beating Nelson in Toronto was HUGE for me at the time...he was a very solid amateur at one time who had a solid record in the pros and the local boxing guru there in Toronto picked him to beat me...only loss was to Thomas Ulrich at the time...I fought EXTREMELY WELL to be honest, if I do say so myself one of the best perforamnces of my career, and I figured afterwards that, "I'm back!!" ...I figured that I was going to see my career back on an upswing immediately but nine fights in a row subsequently fell out on me and I eventually transitioned full time into training boxers...
I assume Pavlik will win a strong decision but wouldnt be surprised if he was made to look clumsy and made to learn some tough lessons along the way...
MORE TO COME...
