I'm so tired of hearing Kelly Pavlik and his camp making excuses. Now his dad is saying that they gave Kelly antibiotics a couple of days before the fight and that his son had to ease up on training because of his apparently elbow injury. He's saying they should have postponed the fight but Kelly didn't want to.

I'm not sure if all of that is true but even if it is all true, it just points out the big problem with Kelly Pavlik's camp for this fight. THEY WEREN'T TAKING BERNARD HOPKINS SERIOUSLY!!! If they were fighting JoeCal or Abraham, they probably would have postponed the fight, but because Bernard's supposed to be "an old man", they thought they could wing it. Dumb idiots.

Bernard Hopkins is a freaking LEGEND. How dare they not take this man seriously? All this talk about knocking B-Hop out and "putting the old dog to sleep"? Get the fuck outta here. Now they're making excuses? They deserved everything they got and a fully focused and healthy Kelly Pavlik still couldn't have beat B-Hop on that night anyway. So these guys need to stop making all these excuses and now give Bernard Hopkins the respect that they should have been giving him in preparation for the fight.

Quite honestly, Jack Loew hasn't done anything. He's had ONE decent fighter. For this guy to be coming out before the fight and talk all this shit about B-Hop was dumb as hell. The fighter might think that a fight is supposed to be easy but it's the trainer's responsibility to keep the fighter in check, keep him grounded in the gym, and make sure that fighter trains as hard as possible regardless of the fighter. Jack Loew obviously didn't do that.
