Kelly Pavlik stopped McKart for the first time in his carrer and McKart says he felt every punch. He thought Pavlik was a one punch power puncher but said that is not the case all of his punches have sting.
Does this allow Pavlik to get more credit since he stopped a guy that had never been stopped in 54 fights. Do people now feel he deserves his #2 WBC and #3 WBA rankings.
I thought the OLN card was much better than ESPN2 as of late. What the heck was Micheal Buffer doing on that network? I thought HBO had him locked.

Good for Kelly on the win, but I was not impressed with his skills or smarts.
His youth is what won it for him. Not sure how he would do against a true top 5 guy...
why didnt Miranda wanna fight kelly again? :lickish:Quote:

I was a good step up fight for Pavlik, but McKart has been relatively inactive of late. It was a solid win over a solid pro & hopefully Kelly can make a lot of noise @ middle. The middleweight division is pretty weak barr Taylor & Wright so Pavlik can definitely become a major player.
Kelly disappeared since the Zuniga win. He had a shot to fight Miranda but didn't take it. Miranda instantly stepped it up and fought Eastman and now going for Abraham in Germany.Quote:

If Bronco had the energy of the past I think he would have given Pavlik a lot of trouble. He just tired out quickly and Pavlik hit him good a few times. Pavlik has now been down twice in the same number of fights. Never seemed really hurt, but just the same I'm not sure what that means when he does get hit by someone with real power.
Maybe after Abraham (if things go the way as planned), Miranda will give Pavlik a shot. I would still love to see that.
I still disagree with you Pantera on who backed out of the fight. Miranda would not sign to fight because he felt Taylor would give him a shot after he beat BHop the first time. He even went to the fight to call him out. Because they did not sign, Kelly took a fight with Zertuche and then Kelly hurt his hand and did not fight again until McKart. Regardless of what you say about McKart, age does not take away a solid chin it was the amount and power behind Pavlik's punches that stopped McKart and not age.
Kelly took some good shots from Fulgencio Zuniga after the first round flash knockdown, he took them fine and the knockdown against McKart was without question a slip and not from any type of punch.
I would love to see the 2 biggest hitters in the division square off against each other. We will talk again after the Abraham fight, I hope Miranda does not expose himself to the right hand like he did against Eastman, Abraham could make him pay dearly if he does.
Good luck to Miranda and hope to see him and Kelly in the ring against each other soon.
Pavlik looks good. But Mckart has been shot for awhile already
