Does Anyone Else Think Kelly Pavlik Looked Stale ?

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

Kelly pavlik lost because he didn't land punches. He didn't land punches because Hopkins was way faster than he was. If pavlik had any speed last night he would have landed punches. The speed of hopkins kept him off guard all night. and the power of hopkins only exascerbated the problem.

He looked like a typical one dimensional fighter. He tried to mix it up and maybe brawl a bit in the 2nd part of the fight, but to no avail. Hopkins kind of surprised me, he really looked like he brought his A-Game, and like I said to the guy beside me at the bar showing the fight, Pavlik looked like he hadn't a clue what to do about it.

Of course, Pavlik has a diferent story to tell. Quoted from Yahoo sports...

"I just could not get off tonight," Pavlik said. "I don't know why? It was not his slickness. It just wasn't me out there tonight. I couldn't do anything I'm used to doing. We're going back to the drawing board. it just wasn't me tonight. I'll be more comfortable going back to 160."

Excuses, and denial . Naturally before teh fight he would have said he was ready to take Hopkins out.

Pavlik couldn't get nothing going because he was slow as a slug compared to hopkins.
