Pavlik Announces Retirement

And to think he would lose to ward and the world would think pavlik was 100% lol

Didn't see this coming. I'd be willing to bet he'll be right back though.

Smart move by Kelly, quit while you still have your wits about you. I hope he made enough from boxing to last a lifetime.

I hope not.

Me too! When they retire like this it means they're done, don't have the drive, heart or whatever any more and should move on. Good luck!

I think he'll be back too. I don't think he was the same boxer anymore. His tuneup fights after he came back were awful and I was expecting him to make one last big payday and retire. I think he was too. Then the payday against Ward vanished and Bute is now not going to fight him so no last big payday. Hopefully he hangs on to his money and stays off the drink and doesn't have to fight again but it's more likely than not that we see him again at some point.

I was shocked to read this but it is the right thing. Kelly seems to have lost something mentally, and I didn't see him achieving much at 168. Fighting Ward was obviously just a retirement plan.

If you read the artical posted hes invested his money wisely in property, comercial property at that, so he will now always have an income.

Too many boxers seem to think the big money fights will always come in and the money wont run out the way they spend it. Alot of managers must be real cunts. They can see that the lad aint all there and has nothing going for him other than boxing but dont advise them to talk to someone about putting money away or investing it.
