As impressed and happy as I'am to see a fellow philly fighter lik BHOP dominate, this fight ruined so much boxing had going for it, pavlik was the face of boxing and he just got his ass whooped i hope he recovers somehow.
Mad props to B-hop. It was a good fight, but Pavlik learned a lesson.
I don't think that Pavlik should feel bad about losing this. I mean, after all he learned something.
26 vs. 43...
One for the old guys!! I wonder if B-hop is going to box again?
He'll probably get one more fight in, if not retire after this fight.
Pavlik might be mentally damaged after this beating. But this was the first time that "The Ghost" boxed an elite older fighter. Hopkins was 17 when Kelly was born in 1982. So that means that Pavlik had to have heard about B-hop in the 90's. Kelly's my age, but i feel as old as Hopkins. That's why it was a good fight for the old vs. the young thing.
I still think Pavlik is a good fighter. He's still hella young. One fighter's career coming to an end, and another just on the rise.
At least Pavlik can say that his one loss was from Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins.
If Hopkins would have been this active against Calzaghe he would have won easily. But coming into this fight, no one would have put the words "Hopkins" and "exciting fight" anywhere near the same page let alone sentence, yet the old man does it one more time and shuts up the pundits and naysayers. Very impressive outing for BHop.

I agree... I for one thought Hopkins couldn't do it he turned back the hands of time tonight
Shut the **** up idiot!!! Hopkins is 43 years old. How many boxers at 43 years have done what Hopkins has done. He walked through a young and very good 26 year old fighter and made it look easy. None of your favorite fighters have accomplished what Hopkins has done.
The win only proves that Hopkins is a natural light heavyweight and some how Hopkins hasn't slowed down so give Jermain Taylor and Joe Calzaghe there credit for beating a BIGGER natural man.
Hopkins after the fight being a *****. And he told Pavlik that he is a middleweight -no ****- Pavlik didn't look like himself slower and a bit sluggish.
Its time that Hopkins picks on fighters his own size. Chad Dawson should fight Hopkins but i wonder if Hopkins will still fight these smaller fighters..
Pavliks trainer showed his flaws as a corner man. But, even with that Pavlik will still dominate middlweight again.
Jermain Taylor and Joe Calzaghe give them there props, Bitchs!
yea i agree Hopkins was different than last other two fights, I think he got really motivated or something, he almost cried in the corner in the end.
I duno I feel bad for Pavlik, I knew he was gona be in trouble before the fight, I knew he would have difficulty fighting slick and technical like Hopkins, and people who thought Hopkins was going to be slow and rusty is a dumbass.
Pavlik was tailor made for B-Hop..styles make fights...or ass whoopings in this case. Damn, now the old geezer aint going anywhere for sure, but whose left to fight ? Chad Dawson ? I don't think wants to go there ! Definitely this era's archie moore
