    The two fighters and their promoters have a verbal agreement. Boardwalk Hall is on board. HBO has been informed that it is a go. All we need is signatures from both fighters. Look for an "official" announcement early next week.


    Edit; 2/9/10:

    It's on! HBO ask Dibella and Arum to wait until after the Winter Olympics before the official announcement and press conference. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4901841

    Edit; 2-18-10:

    Martinez signed the contract. Pavlik has either already signed, or will sign later today. (He's been on vacation wth his wife and kids.) http://www.vindy.com/news/2010/feb/18/martinez-a-go-for-the-ghost/

    Half-decent fight. As a Pav hater, even I think he's gonna KO him.

    Horrible stylistic match-up for Pavlik but he should be able to catch Martinez at some stage.He will need to because i don't think he can outpoint him

    pavlik should be too big for martinez, pavliks strength might be the most decieving in all of boxing..

    Great fight, respect to Pavlik for fighting a very tough guy.
    Could go either way, but right now I see Martinez squeaking out a win.

    This will be a good win(about time) for Pavlik if he gets his hand raised and that's a big IF. I see Martinez winning by decision but hey, it's boxing man anything can happen.

    December 19th when he stood in the middle of the ring and laughed at Williams. Try to keep up.
