Did Cotto and Pavlik get over their losses?

[C-Lo]

I thought Pavlik looked nervous at first but the ten rounds did him good. Still no knee bends though, but he does what he does well. Cotto looked good. I think Arum will go for Duddy against Pavlik next time out andpick a Duddy-level guy for Cotto too before he puts either of them in with really top quality opposition though. If he does risk either one against a top guy it'd be Cotto.

Really? I thought Pavlik came out swinging in round 1! Whatever game plan Rubio had for Kelly went out the window in that first round. He did have spurts of putting his punches together but round 1 was his best overall round of the night.

I watched the fight having had a little bit to drink but I can distinctly remember him looking nervous before the first bell and starting the fight throwing a big left which missed by a mile followed by more nervousness. Then he started to look more like his old self.

He definitely looked nervous before the bell. There was a lot on his plate. He just lost, he needs to have a great performance, it was a packed house where EVERYONE was routing for him, and his career was on the line. That's a lot of pressure!

I think the first round was one of, if not, the best round Pavlik had all night. He came out imposing his physicality and smothered Rubio with punches.
