Beanie Wells and His Stiff Arm
October 8, 2008WFNY Podcast #7
October 8, 2008While we pine away for championships here in the city of Cleveland, the area already has a champion walking around. Kelly Pavlik, the undisputed middle-weight champion of the world has a non-title bout up at the light-heavyweight weightclass on October 18th with Bernard Hopkins. Despite news of an elbow injury, Pavlik is apparently still ready to go according to his trainers.
I am not much of a boxing fan. I am more of an MMA guy. At the same time, I am pretty interested to follow Kelly Pavlik as a complete and utter homer. Pavlik hails from Youngstown where he still does all his training. In preparation to root like crazy for the only thing in boxing that I actually care about, I watched a video of Pavlik fights with an inspirational midi soundtrack underneath.

Now I am ready for the fight.

I wish he had a fight at the Q. That would be awesome.
Thanks for the Kelly update and video.
I am also a homer and Huge Kelly fan.
Coming from Niles, I heard of Kelly before he hit mainstream and have younger family and cousins who run with his crew and have met Kelly.
I have had a party for every main Pavlik fight and would just like to say the first Taylor fight when Kelly was knocked down in the second round only to battle back was one of the greatest boxing matches I have ever seen.
Even going back to the Iron Mike days.
Again, Thanks for the Youngstown updates. Keep em coming.
I’m a little worried that this guy is from Youngstown. Does anyone know if he is a Browns fan or Steelers fan? Youngstown is a bit of a crossed area and it could go either way.
If hes a Browns fan I’m rooting for him…If hes a Steelers fan I hope he gets his teeth knocked in.
Pavlik is a Browns FAN!!!
