Due to how awful this crap was to be marketed as a PPV. I actually forgot to do a pin-up thread, but no matter as anyone who would buy this POS could be counted on the fingers of a snake, so just post results about the fight in here when you get them.

PAVLIK WINS BY FIFTH ROUND TKO at 1:44.

I heard that Pavlik went to shake hands and Espino jacked him in the face at the beginning of the fight. The fuck's up with that?

You don't have to touch gloves it is merely a courtesy. Courtesy is something Pavlik does not deserve. Wish Espino knocked the cunt cold. Good for him I say.

I can't remember which fight it was, It might have been one of the Pazienza-Haugen fights. The ref took a point away for refusing to touch gloves before the final round, citing "unsportsmanlike conduct." Than when they fought again, at the rules meeting they specified that there would be no touching of the gloves before the final round.

I might be wrong about the fight in question though.

why not?

Well besides the touch gloves at the final instructions you are not obligated to do so except in the final round of a championship fight. Pavlik does not deserve that type of respect from fighters or fans after his recent behaviour.

See this is how I come to hate fighters they sucker me in early on in their career by doing good things & then they start the "injuries" & ducking of fighters etc etc. Happened with Mayweather too. Used to like him & still have respect for his skills but due to his attitude towards the fans & fights I now want to see him bleeding from the ear & lashed to a gurney. I am afraid that I will be going down the same route with Pavlik.
