It makes you wonder if they even gave him a sparring partner with lateral movement. he was like a fish out of water in there.
Exactly.. Hell the should have employed Mayweather for a few days to spar with him.. He was just shaken up by the movement from the 1st round and that was it... Never really got back into the fight after the first 30 seconds..
The entire fight, Bernard had Pavlik out of position. Pavlik was just way to slow to catch up to him. I changed my prediction earlier this week when I heard about Pav going for the knockout. It was a shitty plan and I knew it would not work.

I am not sure Pav can even recover from a one sided loss like that. If it was close, he could bounce back. I never seen him even land one solid punch.

Props to Bernard for coming to fight this time around. He had a spark in him tonight big time.
