Kelly Pavlik should have postponed his bout with Bernard Hopkins

It was a surprise to hear out of the Team Pavlik camp that the no-nonsense, no-excuse Kelly Pavlik may have lost to Bernard Hopkins because of a sore elbow and because of bronchitis, as told to The Youngstown Vindicator.

Team Pavlik considered postponing the fight, but they considered the thousands of fans who planned the trip for the fight on Oct.18 against Hopkins in Atlantic City.

Despite the fans, Team Pavlik should have postponed the bout.

Certainly the fans would have understood. So Pavlik wanted to fight on. He did, but not like he was used to. It cost him the bout but not his title. Nor did he tarnish his appeal as a marquee fighter.

Even if Pavlik would have been 100 percent, that wouldn’t have meant a victory over Hopkins. Pavlik certainly would have looked better, but a victory, healthy or not, was not guaranteed.

I think the sly old fox B-Hop could be the Pavlik party pooper tonight. I think he will win on points, my only worry for him is his fitness in the last third. He tired bad against Calzaghe and Pavlik has the power to stop him late if he pressures him into a corner. But i think if Hopkins is on his game then he could perform like he did against Tito and outbox Kelly. Hopkins is too slick for a straight puncher like Pavlik. It has the makings of a very interesting fight.

Humor me (the story) one more time…
Can you guess now, so far you have all been wrong. Remember, the prize is a Gatorade, your choice of flavors (heehee).
Grape, Orange, or Lime (so funny I am)

I like some parts of his training , I like the med ball walking forward with punches.
I like the machine that he twists and pulls down and the neck drills.

Just a reminder– the fight is this Saturday. It will be a HBO PayPerView event. We are so stoked over this fight. Most of Irongloves is rooting for “The Ghost”.
