Best I could find on the net were two articles within a day of that post saying that they were in talks. Then this one two days after the esb post. However, Pavliks manager, Cameron Dunkin, is less than keen on a bout with Lee as he believes the 23-year-old Irishman is not yet a big enough draw in the United States. "I have no problem with Kelly fighting anyone, but nobody knows Andy Lee, he told ***********.com. There are people out there that mean more to Pavlik. I think it's Pavlik's turn to make some money."

I thought there was a contract signed to fight Duddy in July but what the hell, if he beats JT in whichever way, he can fight almost anybody for the right amount of money... I say almost anyone cause he won't say he wants to beat Maskaev - that was one insane Bernard's line and Big O won't probably be there.
I think it is June. I'm not sure the contract is signed. Would it be standard practice to wait until after a fight to finalize a date in case something happens during a fight? Like a broken hand? I can't imagine Duddy not wanting the fight either way the rematch goes. I've seen some references saying it isn't a title fight, but I'm pretty sure it is. Could have been poor writing mixing up the Taylor fight and the Duddy fight. I see Duddy ranked as high as #3 by one organiztion now.
