PAVLIK vs. ABRAHAM pushed back yet again, most likely off

Smurf girls are classic. I wonder if they'll ever come out of retirement, because smurf power rules!

 

To have some positive comments as well, in BS's video interviews both Kelly and trainer Jack Loew mentioned they are looking for the unification this year, Jack even said they'd go to Germany, if that's the best deal, so hopefully Team Pavlik will put some pressure on Papa Arum. Of course it's just an interview, but let's hope the unification comes to Arum's mind as well and leave the Williams-Wright winner for a later date.

 

Well, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed with the latest 'confidential' news. Marley writes that Arum is planning a Felix Sturm unification, and not the Abraham superfight.

 

I think we have a record: I don't remember any other thread having 500 votes on East Side Boxing. Of course many have changed their pick, but here are the votes anyway:

Jack Loew just said on Bunce's Boxing Hour that after Marco Antonio Rubio, Kelly will fight John Duddy, so the Abraham fight is out of question for the upcoming months.

He also sad they made offers to the Abraham camp without getting any response which is pretty interested quote as both Arum and Sauerland confirmed that there were at least some negotions.

I'm very disappointed. Jack, who was class on the show, surely wants unification, but Bob Arum is simply went crazy. Saying Margarito is innocent, 'banning' California, refusing to negotiate Cotto-Mosley II, putting down these stupid PPVs and clearly doing anything to avoid Abraham. He's either completely lost it, or too smart to take ANY risk in a bad economy like this. Either way, boxing fans lose. Thx Bob!
