Is this true about Pavlik?

[Drago]

Kelly got cronic beat down disease the symptoms are often overlooked before a fight even i didn't notice it. It happens a lot these days. These guys train fight and feel great then after a loss is when it really hits ya. No big deal, it's contagious and kelly will just pass it on to somebody else soon....

here is another snippet from the same Article. It looks like Pavlik's father was worried.

"At eleven o’clock, Loew gloved Kelly up.

Fighter and trainer began working the pads. It was Kelly’s first strenuous exercise of the night.

“Double jab,” Loew instructed. “That’s it. Chin down. Aggressive but patient.”

Kelly began to cough.

“Stick to the game plan. Nice and easy. Double the jab.”

The hard edge that had permeated the dressing room prior to Kelly’s recent fights didn’t seem to be there.

“That’s it. Punish him. Hard to the body. If you hit him on the belt and he turns to the referee to bitch, jump on his ass.”

Each time Loew took a break, Kelly went into the adjacent bathroom, coughed, and spat out phlegm. The third time he did it, Mike Pavlik turned away in a corner of the room, pressed both fists against the wall, and took a deep breath. A very deep breath. “Christ,” he murmured.

Dean no offense, but that reads like some kind of dramatic movie script.

Why would I take offense? I didn't write it.

I remember Naz fought Medina with flu and Hatton fought Urango with or after a chest infection but neither of these compare to Mike Tyson he fought Ettienne with a broken back lol

[C-Lo]

At this point, all this stuff doesn't really matter. If this was the case, Kelly should've never fought Hopkins as scheduled and postponed the match. I honestly thought Pavlik didn't look like his usual self but Hopkins had him so dominated that I don't think being 100% healthy would've won him the fight. Maybe a round here and there, but that kind of Hopkins wasn't losing a fight.

[No Contest]

This happens all the time in boxing, usually only big money fighters are the one who will pull out of a scheduled fight. It is a thing every fighter has to cope with, you can't be 100%, 100% of the time. All these excuses, if they are coming from his camp seem desperate. Like they need something to take away from the schooling, which puts a bad light on his trainer.

Hatton's always sick due to the amount of rubbish and shit he eats and drinks after fights. He then has to loose about 35 pounds which results in a chest infection or cold.

if kelly was sick he shouldnt have fought simple as that.
