Pavlik vs. Rubio (Feb 21, PPV)

Kelly reasserts control in Round 7, winning a steady but unflashy round. Rubio exchanges early in Round 8, but then Kelly rocks his hard with several right hooks and crosses. Ends up being Kelly's best round. Rubio is hurt as the bell sounds.

After another steady stream of power shots to the head in Round 9, Rubio's corner does the honorable and humane thing and doesn't allow Rubio to continue any more.

3 more rounds in a fight like this is how a boxer gets brain damage, and what makes boxing so dangerous.

I'm not a big boxing guy but I was rooting for our Pavlik. I honestly know nothing of Rubio but he didn't impress me at all. How the hell did he even get this gig? Kelly dominted him from the getgo. :box:

rubio was not considered a strong opponent. pavlik needed this kind of guy after losing the way he did to hopkins. paul williams and arthur abraham are the real fights for kelly.

pavlik could have ended this fight at any minute. he put rubio in the corner in every round, he could have pushed and ended the fight in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, ect. it really felt like he was giving the crowd their money- i ass|u|me that everyone saw herby just off the corner?

Hubbard better give us a ringside update when he gets back. I hope he had some adult beverages, because the fight wasn't that good (save the result :biggrin:).

Well...I'm alive.....thats about all I have to say. Great fucking night though...I was really drunk of course. Saw Brady Quinn, his sister and A.J. Hawk.
