    Just because it has to be in Texas to get it sanctioned? At least on paper this is a serious mismatch and I have to wonder about the commission that would sanction it. Yeah, Kelly needs some tune ups but he has the potential to seriously hurt this guy. I doubt he has had the benefit of being able to train full time over the past 3 months like Kelly has.

    “Top Rank has a busy schedule planned.
    “They want me to fight in June and September and maybe one more at the end of the year, so I’ll be busy.”


    I know after he won his title Arum wanted to keep him in the ring. Probably to keep his weight down between fights. Could be the same thing here. Keep him in the gym so he can return to middleweight?

    I will be trying to find a stream to watch the fight. Your right about it being a dangerous fight for Jacko. Pavlik is going to let all his rage out on him could be a real savage beating in that ring.

    According to the article it will be on the 'non televised' portion of an "Azteca" card so it might be streamed from Top Rank's site.

    I'm more interested in Friday's fight with Danny Williams against Hank Lundy. :yep

    I think most people have given up all hope. Pavlik was extremely well liked by boxing fans but, sadly, over the past couple of years, he's let a lot of people down. The person he's let down the most is himself.

    I hope he comes back but there's a lot of people who no longer care and won't do until he gives them reason to think he's back.

    No TV, **** opponent, and Pavlik hasn't looked too hot in the ring since his last successful defense against Espino.

    Haha, caught me...

    But, in all honesty, who has the right to state as if factual that one man doesn't stand a particular chance against another, so much as to deny him of his livelihood and families' well-being.

    Geez, I knew people like Jack wouldn't read anything but the thread title by you disappoint me because you didn't read my opening post either. The thread title is an obvious joke.

    Because he'll likely cancel it before fight time.

    I did, but you asked two questions. I answered the question in the title of your thread instead of the question about whether he'll go to middleweight. I don't know and I'm not really bothered about that.

    I actually did read it, but chose to respond literally to the title anyway. :yep

    There probably are fans legitimately wondering why there isn't buzz. Lots of people seem to think anyone who's ever been a "name" should automatically generate some any time they so much as fart in public.

    Regarding the OP, you have some very legitimate concerns about Jaco's impending well-being..

    I am more into the Pavlik fight I am going to see if I can get the stream. I am not even American I just am a fan of the way he fights and carries himself. I have been watching all these new videos on Pavlik and I actully think he is going to pull off this comeback. Will be great to see him back in the ring.

    I thought it was the job of the commission to ensure the safety of the fighters? When guys have sparse records to go on it is a tough job. Here? Not so much. It isn't a matter of factual. It is a matter of examining the records and making an educated decision.
