Pavlik-Espino: Is this worth being a PPV bout?

If you think Kelly Pavlik’s biggest claim to fame is being on the Contender or you don’t know who he is, or you think this is the first time a boxer was making a comeback, or fighting a bum on a PPV (Miguel Cotto, Roy Jones, Mike Tyson,Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera, Erik Morales, just to name a few disgraces to boxing as you say) than you know NADA about boxing. Pavlik was undefeated. At middleweight, he was supposed to lose against KO artist Edison Miranda, who was never dropped. Pavlik backed up Miranda, won every round, for a little, beating the hell out of him, dropped him over three times, he was bleeding, ect, then he got a shot at the middleweight title at the guy who beat Bernard Hopkins, one of the best boxers of all time, in undefeated Jermain Taylor, Taylor knocked Pavlik down, then Pavlik knocked him out. Pavlik then beat Taylor again in a rematch. Miranda was never the same, he got Ko’d again, got beat the next fight, then Taylor got KO’d twice in a row this past year. Pavlik was undefeated middle champ, met Hopkins at a catch weight of 170, where he never fought before, and Hopkins schooled him, Hopkins is also the only guy to KO Glen Johnson, De La Hoya, Trindad, he beat Tarver, Wright, got ripped off against Calzaghe. Paul Williams lost to welterweight Carlos Quintana who loser Cotto demolished. He also got knoced down against Martinez, who can’t punch. Pavlik would never get knocked down by Martinez or lose to an average Quintana. The reason the fight is on PPV is cause HBO and Showtime don’t think it’s worth their money, yet they put Mayweather fighting Marquez, Marquez was a lightweight, Floyd was a Welterweight, there was a catchweight of 145, instead of dropping 2 pounds Floyd Paid 6 hundred thousand dollars, so he cheated, it was NOT a welterweight fight, Floyd beat TWO Welterweights, Carlos Baldomir, who had ten losses, and that was on PPV, and Zab Judah, who lost to Baldomir, and that was on PPV, YOU GUYS MAKE YOURSELVES LOOK LIKE IDIOTS, Pavlik is a champion and warrior, 35-1, 31 KO’s, ONE loss decision, to at a weight he never fought before, and a HALL OF FAMER that’s still fighting and is fighting for a heavyweight title this year, name that fight, you guys know everything, you probably think Wladmir or Vitali Klitschko is the heavyweight champion, you probably get them mixed up,but NEITHER IS THE CHAMP, last heavyweight champ was LENNOX LEWIS.
Peace
Come read my articles sometime and learn something at camelclutchblog.com — don’t make comments when you don’t know anything, go watch UFC with KIMBO SLICE. By the way, I won’t be paying for the fight, but he has EARNED the right to do whatever he wants. Comment back, call me dumb, whatever, I won’t comment back, I obviously made my point, stating things you hadn’t even KNOWN.

i agree, who in their right mind will pay to watch this fight, pavlik is a disgracve to boxing

Only a true boxing fan would even know who Kelly Pavlik is, let alone pay $40 to see him fight a guy whose biggest claim to fame was being on “The Contender”.

kelly pavlik is a joke. the most over rated fighter in the U.S i think.

This shouldn’t be on PPV, but I guess HBO didn’t want to pick it up, so Bob Arum went ahead and put it on a Top Rank card with other good fights on it as well.

Hey Chris, Didn’t you read TOP RANK’s website? It says Pavlik/Espino is the most highly anticipated fight of the year. LOL where do they come up with this stuff?
