Let's keep the Ghost Pavlik in our prayers as he is battling with Alcohol and is in..

[Gandalf]

A shame if true. But everyone has had their merry dance with the bottle at some point or other. Hopefully, he will fix himself up and come back strong.

[C-Lo]

WOW! I had no clue any of this was happening to him. I knew Kelly would have a hurdle to overcome with that loss but I didn't think it would be taken this far.

Bernard can keep his head up high considering he took the undisputed middleweight champ and turned him into an alcoholic. They don't call him "The Executioner" for nothing.

I wouldn't have figured this was going on either with Pavlik. Oh well; best of luck to him.

He looked drunk in the Hopkins fight the way he got schooled. It was bound to happen, as though he's a good fghter he has glaring problems and is limited as a fighter. I guess that wake up call Hopkins gave him injured his pride; and you know what they say about pride That fight may well have ruined him. Hope he doesn't fall into disrepair like the town he comes from.

You could see after the B-hop fight he was totally heart broken.... Especially when Hopkins gave him his post fight(read massacre) pep talk... There's something to say of good sportsmanship,,,, but when you've broken down a man's mind, body and spirit through the sport he's dedicated his life too, going up and saying the likes of 'don't worry, you're still good, just because I totally wasted you doesn't mean you still can't beat C grade fighters', it's just wrong...
Leave the guy to his broken spirit...

And that's not to say I think Pavlik can only beat C grade fighters, but that pep talk from Hopkins post fight probably got him closer to a Pavlik uppercut to the nuts than anything he did during the fight.

KELLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE THIRST PROBLEM

What?

KELLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE THIRST PROBLEM

What?

Yeah that is a bit strange. Ever heard of H2O Kelly? Hmmmmm? I don't drink alcohol, but doesn't it make you dehydrated or something? Mmmm, yum yum. "What? Where's my Schlitz Malt Liquor?" Poor Kelly

KELLY SUFFERS FROM SEVERE THIRST PROBLEM

What?

How can it be a problem if he likes the stuff ?

[Rantcatrat]

I wouldn't chalk this up to the Hopkins loss. It seems to be a constant problem for him. Remember the incident after the second JT fight where he broke the window with his hand and required stitches? I bet he has been battling this all along, but it is just now coming to light.

He needs to move out of Youngstown and into a Big Bear type training facility where he works all the time without outside influences. He probably could use a new trainer too. Manny would work well with Pavlik.
