there was something about pavlik and his entourage that rubbed me the wrong way..looked like a bunch of skinheads

dude was so slow and basic to me in the ring to me even with heavy hands..personally i thought he overachieved

I went back and watched the first fight with Taylor a few months ago and HBO had a great piece on Pavlik's background, hometown, etc. and I'd be surprised if him and his people aren't on some racist shyt at least to a degree, coming from a depressed rust belt town like Youngstown

Pavlik could have been a natural bad guy/villain, but he was too dumb to play the part and was just a hickey! he was a tough kid and was trapped in between his social background, when hopkins schooled him, Pavlik woke up a little bit but needed more guidance then rest is history, he became a drunk and burnt his bridges!
pavlik vs miranda was a fukking good fight though!! that fight stole the undercard up!

Was Pavlik the fight where Emmanuel Steward kept bytching at Taylor in between rounds about” I told you not to take this fight …why you take this fight …you shoulda fought ____ instead”


I remember watching that as a kid like
Give him advice that’s not helping

If only the fight with the punisher happened like it was supposed to ...he would have stopped him

youre correct

Manny was not only a trainer, but a manager/businessman, and HATED these type fights.

Those type of fights are just ugly and bring your stock down. Same reason why Lewis never entertained Byrd.

Steward was always bytching and yelling at Taylor in all their fights together. Dude was getting at him for trying to bomb out Ouma early too. Them nikkas had no chemistry at all.

I always felt Pat Burns was the best fit for Taylor. He always got the most out of dude and Taylor seemed to hold it together more with him. Steward was that dude, but you can tell he was an irritable person at times. Telling someone they were wrong for taking a certain fight while they're struggling in said fight has got to be one of the most annoying things a trainer can do.

This shyt keeps on goin

Teo needs to sit down and blame Triller and the piece of shyt Kavanaugh instead of harassing Kambosos on social media.
It's not Kambosos' fault that these shady ass people won the purse bid and now they want to move the fight the 100th time.

Kambosos has been fukked over by Teo three times now and Triller 3 times.

He can drag this out as long as he wants.

He should be getting the belt by a default clause imo, or at least a belt.

Teo didn't have no damn Covid either.
