Kelly Pavlik Vs Scott Sigmon NOW ON June 8th FNF

Over all I agree but this has an interesting/amusing little history. I guess this kid got some backers and scraped up $30K at some point as a purse offer to entice Kelly into the ring. The interview I read didn't give a date. This is a case of 'be careful what you ask for'. If he thought he was naive about getting Kelly to jump in the ring for $30K he is in for a bigger awakening if he really feels he has a shot here.

 

Sigmon is a knucklehead, looking forward to seeing Kelly batter him.

 

I actually would prefer another Lopez. He wasn't that competitive but found a way to work to survive and use what he had to at least stay on his feet and make Kelly work.

 

Yeah, I don't see the point in another soft touch. Some rounds would be good to prepare for what is suppose to be a challenging fight in September. And it would keep him more motivated to fight a guy who presented some challange.

 

Sigmon is much better than Jaco, its a good step.

 

Ok thats good, from what I was reading I thought he was not much better.

 

tune up. why not. anything which gives kelly confidence and boosts his record a bit is good.

 

Being twice or thrice as good as Jaco isn't saying much.

 

These fights might just be (for Uncle Bobby/TopRank) for making Kelly look like a KILLER in there, especially for the casual masses.

 

I don't care much for mismatches myself.

 

They don't do **** for Kelly either (boxing experience wise).

FNF's should gain Kelly some attention. He's gonna look like a monster VS this dude. Maybe that's Top Ranks whole reason. :conf

 

I think Arthur Abraham would be a decent tuneup type fight. He couldn't hang with Kelly in a boxing match but would keep him on his toes because if he had a lapse AA would make him pay.

:stir

 

Big red is that Joe Calzaghe on your avatar? If it is, then let me tell ya that Joe C would humanilate Pavlik.

I see no future for him in 168
