I personally see this as being Pavlik's toughest fight. I think Bernard will target that body while on the ropes, and can see Kelly getting dropped a couple of times. No one has targeted that very thin body of Pavlik's and I'd be surprised if Hopkins and his camp don't try to come with a gameplan to attack it.
Kelly sits right in front of you and throws lots of punches, but he leaves himself open for body work. Hopkins I think will let Kelly get him to the ropes and expect his defense and if need be his chin to be able to hold up to the onslaught; while trying to find openings downstairs.
I think Kelly will win, but as has been said already, the stamina will become a factor and I simply see Kelly outworking him; but I think he'll learn more from this fight than any other previous to it; and I think he'll get hurt in the process. Like him or not, Kelly is a game guy and will find a way to win, just like he did with Taylor I. I may be way off but jmo.
