The one fight Pav fought outside of 160 was in JT 2 at 166 and he didn't have the same workrate. He's a work horse at 160.. but i think alot of people who studied his performance in the second JT fight saw he couldn't work hard above 160
Yeah but he didn't throw nearly enough punches - Pavlik's trainer was being interviewed earlier this week saying that Kelly will be averaging 96 punches a round so the gameplan was definitely to go in there and outwork Hopkins but Pavlik seemed to go into his shell.
