Hopkins beats Pavlik… It wasn’t suppose to happen like that!!!!

Rocky Marciano vs Bernard Hopkins

Ok in my mind Hopkins was the more skilled but ageing Joe Louis and Kelly Pavlik was the hard hitting Rocky Marciano who was going to bludgeon the living legend through the ropes in his final right of passage before becoming a Super Star… so its not an exact paralell but I thought the result would play out somthing like that…

Why Didn’t Pavlik work Louis to the Body?

Maybe Pavlik should have watched the way The Rock worked over the ageing  Joe Louis’ body during that fight. If “The Ghost” Kelly Pavlik had switched his target to the body he would have found the answers to Hopkins elusive defense. As it goes Pavlike chose to rely on his bread and butter double jab straight right combination which came up short from round one to twelve!

Great for Hopkins but where does Boxing go?

So now  Kelly Pavlik, is not a super star and left the ring looking a broken man…boxing has lost the second coming of Rocky Marciano and an ageing Joe Louis instead of Joe Louis passing on the torch and bowing out of the fight game he fights on… So much for Boxing history repeating itself
