Just a few comments on the Pavlik V Hopkins fight
Ok firstly, i've always been a big fan of Bernard. Also how can you not like Kelly Pavlik? Anyhow, I just tonight got to watch the fight in total.
It's a shame for Kelly that he seems to have gone into the fight ill and possibly injured, but i can't understand why the fight was at a catch weight. Hopkins would have not had it as easy at middle weight and so don't see what this fight means to boxing or even to Hopkins. I watched the Hopkins V Calzaghe fight and still cant see how Hopkins can fight like this against Pavlik who hits hard, and then against Calzaghe who slaps. I still feel that the Calzaghe loss was a set up fight to meet Jones JNR. It seems to be a plan in place to me. But i quite enjoyed the fight anyway.
