Pavlik has some lovely

espino is making his way to the ring. i dont even remember this dude from the contender series.

 

Espino coming out to the theme music from some old tecnicolor Western, like....."Shoot Em Up The Rio, Cowboy"

 

Pavlik coming out to KORN.
:nono:

 

both fighters are in the ring now. buffer's doing the introduction.

 

steve smoger is the ref. he looks fatter than usual.

 

"DOUBLE SS" Steve Smoger............fucking bum

 

Rd 1 was better than Hagler-Hearns:nono:

 

round 1

espino landed some punches on the inside. he's coming w/ his hands held high. pavlik's the much taller guy and is finding his target w/ ease. a lot of one-twos and hooks to the body by pavlik.

pavlik lands a head snapping right uppercut. espino fired back w/ some combination at the end of the round.

10-9 pavlik

 

:nono::nono:

10-8

 

espino is doing good work to the body. pavlik lands a big uppercut on the inside. both fighters are fighting at a short distance.

espino is actually landing some clean shots. pavlik is focusing on going down stairs and then setting up for that uppercut. espino's holding his own.

pretty good round. 10-9 pavlik

 

round 3

al bernstein said the same thing, but pavlik's not utilizing much of his jab.

blood coming down from espino's nose after eating an uppercut. espino's still the agressor, but pavlik's now trying to keep a distance and landing his right hand.

espino landed consecutive punches at the end of the round at close quarter. close round but i gave it to pavlik for landing the harder shots.

10-9 pavlik
30-27 pavlik

 

round 4

right uppercut on the inside drops espino who gets up at the count of 9.

espino bravely fires back but pavlik lands two more hard uppercuts and drops espino again. espino gets up and gets hurt by another right uppercut.

pavlik can't miss w/ that uppercut as he lands another one before the bell.

10-7 pavlik

 

this shit's not gonna last long. i'd be surprised if espino makes it out of round 5

 

round 5

right hand drops espino near the 1 30 mark. espino's corner throws in the towel.

 

pavlik still hits hard, but he just doesn't look the same since the hopkins loss.

he kinda fought like corrales in the first castillo fight. i think he's in a world of trouble against either williams or martinez. shit, i'm not even sure if i'd strongly favor him over sturm.

 

arum is making excuses for williams fight not happening. now says that this fight can happen early next year and if they dont want to sign the contract then shut up.

pavlik said he wants to fight williams next.

 

how can you not like Chavez, right? he bangs the guy right in the balls..

 

chavez is a suitable comeback opponent for juan diaz. chavez sucks and i wouldnt mind seeing him get whupped again.

 

They changed that result like five times. ::

 

yea wtf. i could've sworn it was a NC the second or third time around.

anyways, valdez got his ass kicked tonight. further indication that montiel doesn't belong at 118 or perhaps he's just not very good.

 

Props to MWS for the Sopcast URL

Props to Espino for making a fight of it and showing heart and actually landing some leather

Props to Pavlik for not taking the easier option.

Props to Smoger for letting it go on as long as it did and then stopping it as soon as he did.

Fuck everyone else, though.

 

Pavlik looked ok to me, he looked as good or bad as he ever has I would say. The only difference being he fought inside more.

Joony what makes you think he doesn't look the same after the Nard loss?

You know, at one point I changed my mind and said Williams would beat Pavlik, but now I am very confident Pavlik wins that fight.

Williams just isn't that good. I mean I like him, he's fun to watch, but he's just a lanky swarmer, that's it.

He is incredibly hittable (probably more than Pavlik) and he was genuinely hurt by Martinez.

What's going to happen when Pavlik cracks him? It's not like Williams is going to outbox and outhustle Pavlik like Hopkins did, he's going to come forward and throw thousands of punches like he always does. He'll be right there for Pavlik to hit, and I think Kelly takes Paul's punches much better than Paul takes Kelly's. I think Pavlik stops him in 6 or 7 rounds if the fight comes off.

Pavlik by KO over Tall Paul.

 

Arum is a funny guy.

 

Indeed, Smelly Pavlik.

 

WTF does "dips" mean?

I've never heard this before.

He double dips corn chips in a dip perhaps?

 

Dipping is chewing tobacco. American Slang for using chewing tobacco is called dipping.

 

Does he seriously chew tobacco? ::

 

a lot of americans do (mostly caucasian males). i know one of the main brand is called copenhagen. does that mean danish folks dip as well?

 

what does chewing tobacco do?

does it fuck you up?

 

you get a nicotine buzz. i've tried it in college and i nearly puked from the nicotine rush the first time i dipped.

it's really a disgusting habit and you'll see a lot of people use soda bottles as a spitt bucket in an office environment.

abusing this habit could lead your gums and lips to get swollen and in worst case scenario, you can get cancer in that area.
