Once again, Kelly Pavlik backs out of another fight. This time it was supposed to be at the Covelli Center in Youngstown, and broadcast on Showtime. Kelly says he doesn't want to fight a southpaw for a small payday.
My question...it's the Monday before the fight and you're just now realizing that the guy is a southpaw and you aren't going to be making a ton of money on the fight?! What the fuck?! I think he just realized that he doesn't have it anymore and didn't want to get embarrassed in front of the hometown crowd.
This guy had all the promise in the world. But it turns out he's just going to be washed up and a has-been at 29.

it's really too bad--he says that Boom Boom is his idol, but he couldn't hold Mancini's jock--what a waste :mad:

A quick path from Youngstown Hero to complete trainwreck.
Then again, for most of the world, "Youngstown Hero" equals trainwreck, so maybe not.

I want to know how most of the Vindy commenters can afford internet, considering you can't pay for it with a food stamp card. It's pretty obvious that some of those posters are serious lowlifes.

free internet at the "libary"!
that says it all.“I’m not trying to be a cocky person, but the name Kelly Pavlik still carries a lot of weight,” he said. “No matter what I do, Kelly Pavlik can still draw.”

In 2-3 years Kelly will be nore than willing to fight just about anybody for the $50,000 he just walked away from.

This fight isnt the only thing Pavlik is withdrawing from
