Thread: Pavlik in rehab for alcohol issues

Pavlik in rehab for alcohol issues - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports

Did I read that right He was in rehab two weeks before the Martinez fight

There have been rumours about Pavlik a fair while now, so I am glad he has finally decided to face up to his demons. I'm sure a lot of us have had times when we have hit the bottle too hard. I wish him all the best in pulling himself back together.

Sad really.
This kid lit up and turned off faster then Lisa Ann could make me cum....

Good to know he's getting help and I hope he gets better.

Agree 100% Pavlik is a top notch fighter who in his last few outings looked terrible and lost really one sidedly in the Hopkins and Martinez bouts....He looked terrible just in appearence as well you could tell he was living the party life burning the candle at both ends so to speak.....With any sort of luck he comes out takes a little break and returns in old form...I would love to see him at 168 in true Pavlik form...It would make the division even that much better....Pavlik Vs Froch would be a PPV worthy slugfest for sure

How can anyone be a pro-boxer and alcoholic at the same time?

They should make a movie about Kelly Pavlik. Leaving LV / Raging Bull combo script.

Well id still like to see Williams vs Pavlik in a vodka shot for shot contest

who wins?

Shame really. But makes sense. I've stood by him over the last 2 years watching his behavior become increasingly erratic. Not surprised and is no time to dump the dude over some personal demons...especially ones he can will to conquer. He always struck me as humble and decent in general, but yes, human. So wishing him luck. Be nice to see him back in the ring,mentally and physically healthy.
