It doesn't matter what PavMan does, he'll have his haters. If Hopkins fights him and Kelly wins they'll all say he beat a geezer; if he whoops JT's ass again they'll say JT was overhyped or not what he used to be. At least Kelly will fight true middleweights instead of picking on guys like Ouma and Spinks, but that was o.k. for JT to do. I've been sticking up for JT all day, but simply, he lost. Whether he lost the fight himself or Kelly just beat the brakes off him, irregardless he lost. People can argue and make excuses for every fight and fighter ever made, doesn't change the outcome. If Kelly wouldn't have been making silly faces he would never have gotten knocked down anyways, and may have k.o.'d JT faster; who knowsWho cares; Jt got slowly but surely manhandled. A huge portion of his shots were blocked and Pav was slowly breaking him down with his jab. JT gassed out, Jt didn't patiently and smartly follow up on Pav in the second round, Jt didn't do this or that; blah blah blah. I know one thing JT didn't do, and that's win the fight!!! Maybe next time he'll pay attention more. Maybe he won't listen to Manny talking all that smack about Kelly being overhyped, a one hit wonder, a pasty, skinny white boy who's best win was beating a {supposedly} overhyped Miranda, etc. etc. Hope they enjoyed eating crow last night. JT was supposed to be the best in the division, undefeated and never put down, much less put out, and he beat Hop twice and and drawed Wright. Well, he should of had an easier night with Pasty Pavlik right
Well, he got smoked, and will get smoked in the rematch probably faster. If JT learns from this fight, don't forget Pavlik will also learn from it and come back better too. Also, JT has to fight a guy who is the only one to k.o. him, while Kelly is coming in confident as hell against a guy he beat down. I know where my money is going on the next fight. Kelly will destroy him in a rematch; then we can listen to all the excuses after that happens again. I'd be surprised if they even try and fight Kelly again.
