That sucks! But if he's injured it's better to scrap the fight than take a chance on losing to a guy like Vera. The run of bad luck over the past two years is is just crazy.
What a good 160lbs fighter to take his place vs Brian Vera? Names anyone? Matt Korobov and Omar Henry are Top Rank fighters.
That's very unfortunate. 160 is stacked with young talent, I don't see Pavlik being champion ever again. By the time he gets back into contention Korobov, Golovkin, Pirog, Lemieux, Guerrero, N'Jikam and Barker will be ready as well. I also still have hope for Andy Lee.
I smell bull****. The WBO just finished its 23rd annual convention. One of the things they proposed was a Kelly Pavlik/Gennady Martirosyan title elminator. I fully expect that fight to be announced in a couple weeks.
