ESPN FNF thread - featuring Kelly "the reformed sod" Pavlik

[CFH]

I've gone from loathing Pavlik to feeling sorry for him. This is a strange sport.

[captainanddew]

supposedly bute's team is going to be meeting with arum to talk about a possible fall showdown.

Why the fuck are we talking about B-ball during the main event, idiots.

I hate basketball, but even I find it more interesting than this farce of a fight.

[Spicoli]

Pavliks frustrated. He's loading up and stopping punches mid way.....sloooowwww and fleshy

[Mars_ax]

How about that...Canelo may wait and possibly face Ortiz wins his June fight ?

Congrats to Al Bernstein and Mark Johnson on HOF! Bout' time.

Yep, Tommy Hearns and Roach belong there too.

Yeah it's a farce, but it's the main event and Pavilk is a former champion, why the fuck they've got Jalon Rose there doing commentary about Basketball is a mystery.

[Spicoli]

Teddy gets a backhand for using Pavlik and Ali comparison. I actually like Jalon here, he seems to know his shate.

[Spicoli]

Ehh. Know what, Pavlik is already at where he's going. What you see is what you get.

[Mars_ax]

The fight gets stopped by the ref, Pavlik wins by TKO. Sigmon was a bit of a can but this wasn't a bad workout for Pavlik, who I thought looked to be in good shape for the fight. Now Kelly needs to get another fight or 2 against better competition before trying for a shot at a title.

[MGG]

Sigmund did fight his best, Pavlik just too much.

[Andre]

Yeah he did it with better skill, but theres no sting in him.
Anyone with a decent over hand right or cross is going to really shake him up.

Agreed Pavlik looked good, but not overly impressive. Did what he should. Good solid win against a VERY tough miserable SOB.

Also the basketball talk was annoying as well during the main event.

Pavlik vs. Bika lets get it on!!!

[imp]

Put pavlik in with bute..then whoever wins knows which way there career is going.

Sigmon was leading with his head all night, Pavlik did a good job of moving his head to avoid getting headbutted, or he would have gotten busted up. I'm surprised Jay Nady didn't warn Sigmon and/or take a point away for that shit. For the most I liked what I saw from Pavlik and he looked to be in great shape.
As for the Basketball talk all throughout the main event, what the fuck was that all about? Wasn't this a fairly big fight for FNF and isn't this show suppose to be about boxing? I give 2 fucks about Jalon Rose or the NBA, stick to boxing, I don't tune in to hear, Jalon, Teddy and Tessitore analyze fucking Pro Basketball. It's also insulting to Pavlik and Sigmon and fight fans who tuned in to watch boxing, to be doing that bullshit.

Pavlik vs. Bika would make a great next opponent, it would show if da "Ghost" is ready for the bigtime again.

cheers Hulk
