Kelly Pavlik's return

[TitoFan]

Kelly Pavlik beat up on a "little version" of Kelly Pavlik.
There's still a long road back.... but it's a start.

I watched Pavlik on a download this mornin and really thought he was just plodding, if a little better. \not that he was quick before, but he definitely looks to have lost a step on pace. After a couple more fights maybe he gets sharper. I'd like to see him do it, as there are a few decent fights for him to be had.

Him shoutng Froch out though, dear me. Froch would back him up and batter him I think. 160 was his destiny, as Bernard Hopkins told him.

Hey hows it going mate.
I saw it the same way he controlled that guy no problems and the collective damage showed but he didnt show any real finishing power. Can he be an all out trainee or a slacker who does just enough to get by is what it left me thinking .
Maybe he just wanted rounds? Probably a good thing at this stage.

The real question is he ready for Carl Froch?

Hey Andre!

I'm going well mate, can't complain - working too many hours, but all good. How about yourself, how're the family getting on?

I'm leaning to your assessment as well, I just don't think he's made the adjustments, but I suppose getting a few rounds when you've been struggling is important as you say.

It must be tough for these blokes to make radical adjustments to their style, especially if what they've been doing has worked for them previously.

But I think Froch has far too many skills for Pavlik at this stage, and as Bernard said - he needs really develop some other attributes if he is to get his career back on track.
