hopkins pavlik fight report - interesting comments

ESPN - Ageless Hopkins puts on masterful performance against Pavlik - Boxing

so hopkins wants to fight agian apprently and look what he said to pavlik after the fight, seems quite nice almost from bernard lol!

''Don't let this fight destroy you," Hopkins told him. "You're a great middleweight champion. You have a great heart. Keep your head up. Keep fighting. You have to learn one thing. You have to learn that slickness that black fighters have and then you'll really be a great champion. I don't want you to quit. If I have to go to your house and take you to the gym, I will."

Yeah he showed a lot of respect for Kelly after the fight.. He's aged now and doesn't need to present this brutal image to promote fights these days.. He's a genuine guy who does what he does in the ring, but doesn't have to carry any sort of "showman" attitude around after the 12th round bell sounds..
I always respect fighters when they can carry themselves that way... Nard was just a class act the whole night and leading up to the fight..
