Lyell had already been studing for a Sebastian fight

    Front page [url]article.[/url] That is why he had his passport. He expected a shot at some point so he has been doing his homework already along with Jack Loew studying Sebastian. This might give him a leg up because I doubt the reverse is true.

    Aside from all the above, Billy also worked as a Pavlik sparring partner during the Espino training camp. Hermit went to an open work out, and said Lyell was catching KP with left hooks pretty routinely. It's all pretty encouraging for Billy Lyell. It would be simply awesome if he pulled off the upset.

    Yeah. Billy was getting the left in against Kelly WAY to easy I thought. Obviously another local and a SECOND world MW title holder here would be pretty unreal.

    That would certainly increase Jack Loew's status as a coach. Other than the obvious reasons, I'd like to see Billy get the title and use it to get some top fights at 154 where he belongs. If he could snatch a title there he could just vacate the 160 title. I admire a guy that fights at his proper weight, but lets be real, most other guys his size are fighting at WW.

    I guess no one cares about the 'other' MW title much? :D
