pavlik got exposed tonight. he needs to move back down in weight. this wasn't one of those fights where the old veteran uses his many tricks to barely beat the young fighter. this was the old veteran dominating the young fighter and proving that he doesn't deserve all the praise he was getting.

Sounds like a missed a pretty good performance by the executioner.
Ill catch the re-run on HBO next weekend.

Likes to have "friends" around to "play cards" with
BHop schooled Pavlik. I didn't expect Kelly to look this slow though. Was it the weight? But no matter, Hopkins would have won. The man is an all-time great. In the end, Pavlik was tailor-made for Hopkins. A power puncher against the master of the counterpunch? I should have seen it coming.
Calzaghe neutralized Hopkins because of his angles and handspeed. No one throws quite like him and he landed more punches on Hopkins that any of his other opponents. Pavlik is good but he'll never be as fast as Calzaghe.

Great result for Kessler.
Awesome combo to end it:-
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lOkR9ciEiqk
As far as I see it he is the man to beat at 168.
Possibilities, depending on a Bute /Andrade rematch:-
Kessler vs
Winner of Pascal v Froch
Winner of Taylor v Lacy
or Lucien Bute depending on whether there is a rematch - Kessler has already shutout Andrade so I can't see that happening.

Watch this crazy shit from Friday: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ARs8axyaDz0

I felt a bit bad for Häussler, he was totally overmatched. Thankfully he went down fast and escaped any serious harm.gollumsluvslave said:
Kessler's promotors are really interested in a Hopkins matchup, preferably this spring. I hope they can work out a deal quickly, because it would be an awesome fight.
I swore that this was going to be on last night, not Friday... was Bute just tired in that last round or was he beaten into such a condition?Quazar said:
Anyway, that ending was very reminiscent of JCC-Taylor I. Bute's pretty much propped up on the ropes when the ref was wiping his gloves. Had the referee made Bute walk towards him, he would have seen how his legs weren't there.
The ref in the post-fight interview (Showtime seems to have no problem interviewing referees after controversy) flat admitted that Bute was out on his feet at one point.
Sucks for Andrade, but he's got powerful representation in Al Haymon so he can expect to get a rematch somewhere down the line.
Ha, exactly. Or how about a referee who stops the counting a pin just because a manager or someone gets up onto the apron? Just finish the count!Speevy said:
HBO's doing three "24/7" shows for both Calzaghe-RJJ and DLH-Pacquiao. A new Calzaghe/Jones show debuts next Sunday and another next Thursday, two days before the fight.
EDIT:
Oof. HBO had those taken down fairly quickly.
F.Sturm (c, 30-2-1, 13 KOs) vs. S.Sylvester (29-2, 14 KOs) - WBA middleweight title
First German vs. German world title fight in eight years. The promotional clash pits Universum's Felix Sturm against Sauerland's Sebastian Sylvester for Sturm's WBA title. The winner can hope to unify against either Arthur Abraham (IBF) or Kelly Pavlik (WBC, WBO) but it's more likely their respective promoters will have those two fight first.
Chief support is Segei Dzinziruk vs. Joel Julio for the WBO light middleweight title.
C.Mijares (c, 36-3-2, 15 KOs) vs. V.Darchinyan (c, 30-1-1, 24 KOs) - WBC, IBF, WBA super flyweight titles
115-pound unification bout. I suppose Vic could land a big left and change the fight, but it's more likely he'll get countered repeatedly and end up dropping nine rounds to Mijares.
The winner could eventually fight Nonito Donaire who is defending his own titles tonight on Top Rank's PPV. It's headlined by the JCC Jr.-Matt Vanda rematch and also features a Jorge Arce title fight.
This guy retired after winning his last fight on Friday, the 300th of his career. His final record over nearly twenty years: 32 wins (8 by KO), 256 losses (10 by KO), and 12 draws.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
RJJ is going to win tonight. Slapboxing isn't going to get it done tonight.

I'll be the first to eat crow if that happens, but unless Roy has found the keys to a time-machine, *on paper* this is an easy UD for Calzaghe.
Calzaghe after a 3 year ring-rusty fat Tito Trinidad is a pretty big step up in class!

Fuck all the haters that said this would be dull!
Excellent stuff from both fighters!
Calzaghe down in round 1, but has won 2 & 3.
Jones starting to tire?

This shit is kind of wack. Roy refuses to swing.
I guess he wants no part of a counter.

Agreed.
What's wack is I can't see this fight!
Roy could be nice it's not age thats the issue it's lack of heart and work ethic after being wealthy beyond belief.... His hunger isn't the same....
No one can deny RJJ's accomplishments I think Calazaghe has this but who knows...
No one surpasses the Rocky Marciano curse....
