I gave up reading ringtalk years ago. Fernandez just seemed like a guy that likes to hear himself say potentially controversial things really loudly and be called edgy because of it. "Balanced" he is not. If it's actionable, I hope they sic the lawyers on him. At the very least, force a public apology.
Whatever you say, to be honest if I was Pavlik, I would have played along with the whole thing. He could have said that he only got his ass kicked by a 43 year old, and agreed to fight Sergio Mora because he was pissed off his head.
From Vindy.Com I wonder if the guy they suspect is the same guy who threatened to shoot Kelly through the hands?
piece of garbage-but this isnt the first time he has written lies and if theres a way to get legal action im sure someone else would have done it by now
Sounds better but doesn't look better. There's a big difference between Mora and Sturm: Mora signed a contract for the fight, Sturm is just a plan. Now let me tell you something: Sturm declined a career-high payday to face Abraham, I simply doubt Arum could offer so much more that Sturm would return to the scene of the crime where he was robbed by Top Rank judges.
Agreed -- and all the credible sources that have anything to say either adamantly deny the rumors, or report "business as usual" stuff.
This is true, but Sturm predicted Pavlik would beat Abraham, and said he wanted to fight Kelly afterward. Of course that's also just talk.
Almost 2 years of just talk from Top Rank. But let's just clear these rumors first, and talk about an upcoming fight after that.
It could've been a big year for King Arthur if he was told by Arum 'sorry, although we said the opposite, actually we'll never let you near the MW championship'. He would've found excellent opportunities at SMW, but now he's getting the usual **** for the opponent selection while he's waiting on the MW opportunity that never comes.
The rumours do not seem to have any legs under them. No credible source picked up the story. The people who did report them, did not talk to anyone from Top Rank or Team Pavlik. Credible journalists verify facts before they report them, and the rumours simply can't be verified. I mean it's pretty hard to build a pond in your front yard and do landscaping projects from a rehab center:yep
