"The money part came out not in my best interest, but for me, this has been a shot that I’ve been waiting for seven years and I’m not going to sit there and cry about the money. It’s still a good enough amount of money and my promoter and Cameron (Dunkin) are trying to work out more money, which is fair because believe it or not, I’m a humble guy and don’t really say too much. Right now it’s not Jermain Taylor that’s the draw. People want to see me fight Jermain Taylor. If Taylor was fighting another junior middleweight, he wouldn’t get any money either. People want to see me and him fight. I guarantee you that if me and Edison Miranda weren’t on the same card as Cory Spinks and Jermain Taylor, that venue wouldn’t have been half as packed. I told Cameron that if the money is right for Taylor then I’m not going to sit there and complain about the money. I’m just glad to get my shot. I’m glad he stepped up to the plate and is taking the fight."
Need more like him in boxing :)

I like his mentality and attitude towards the sport.
Proper Old School 8)
Hope he does a number on Taylor and floors him ;)
I never thought I would like this kid but he sure is something.
I will be the first to admit that I was all wrong about him.
I hope he beats Taylor. He is right about people wanting to see this fight. I don't care much for Taylor fights but I do care some for Pavlik.
Come on Kelly lad
Andhe is right when he said that he will draw more to Altlantic city than Taylor. I look to be making a 5.5 hour trip down I-80 from Akron through Youngstown through the keystone state to Jersey to watch this.I belive he can do it and the people of northeast ohio (cleveland akron canton & youngstown) have faith in him to do it . GODSPEED KELLY PAVLIKQuote:

Welcome to the forum. Have the Obligatory Wacko Welcome Wagon :coolclick:Quote:

That is why sergio mora is a disgrace to boxing. You got the shot? you think you can win? then fight the manQuote:
Did they try to lowball you, so you wouldn’t take the fight?

a god damn 70/30 split, and pavlick is a great draw, this guy is a model for young boxers with talent. FOLLOW THIS MAN!
I think right now that Jermaine Taylor would river dance with a pink skirt on if the price was right holding hands with Richard Simmons on Hbo if the money was right. Greedy slackjawed happy ass lacker.
Good move, because after he kicks Taylors ass, he's gonna have the say and the bigger share of money. I like that its not all about money with him, refreshing to hear a fighter say that. :appl: :clap:
I really think Taylor will try to get out of this fight somehow, weight or injury. I hope Kelly knocks him out.
I tried to give you +1 agian but I did it eariler about John Duddy.Quote:

CC back Southakron314 , let Jermain start talking, he cant talk his way out of this one. Miranda didnt intimidate Kelly, I doubt hes scared of Jermain not being a nice guy anymore...
You know it Pavlik is not a guy easily intimidated. Hell he got arrested a few years ago for decking a cop. I think he likes it when suckers talk. Thats probally how he fuels his flame. When you have the heaviest hands in the division and maybee the best chin not much scares you. Especailly a guy who spent most of the fight with undersized Ouma and Wright agianst the ropes. He is ready and the belt will change hands.Quote:

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that he gives his all to perform well for us fans. I think it will be a good fight till about the 6th or 7th round, when Kelly wins by KO/TKO. Good luck Kelly!!!
I completely agree, kelly seems like a great guy and IMO will do nothing but good things for the sport of boxing. On the other hand Taylor seems to be just in it for the money, which is ok considering it is his job i guess but he has no interest in entertaining the fans. He had the skills to be an entertaining fighter however he just isn't one.

I will agree on that about Taylor also. It is ashame, Taylor has the talent to entertain the fans and be a great champion, but hasn't. I think this will be or should be a great fight. I hope it is. Pavlik by KO in the mid rounds.
