Great story, I was moved when he was telling about how Kelly was crying in the dressing room.

Pavlik is such a likeable guy, I really hope he learns from the loss and comes back better than ever.

I think his illness and the weight were big hurdles, but based on what I saw I think he would still have had his hands full with Hopkins even if fully fit and not at a weight disadvantage.

Spot on

Never see too much of kelly via mainstream UK tv but getting to see the countdown was a great insight into what a down to earth level headed bloke pavlik is and what an all round ass hopkins is.

Still wanted B-Hop on the night though and couldnt of been happier to of been completely vindicated putting £100 on a hopkins points win.

The bloke is FINALLY earning the much due respect he hasnt had since the taylor fights
