Reports say this is a done deal. And that Berto vs joel Julio was going to be the co-feature but julio turned it down. berto may now fight Estrada on the 29th if he wins his ESPN debut this summer.
Very good. Looks like they're taking the sport seriously again, fights that should be made are being made. Now let's all hope Mayweather/Hatton gets finalized too. Cotto will probably face the winner of Margarito/Williams...the HW might get cleared up a bit as well, 2007 is really a good year for boxing.:happy As for this fight, it's easy to say Taylor's last performance was a bit poor, and Pavlik's performance was outstanding, so Pavlik will beat Taylor...I don't believe that. This is a totally different fight stylistically. Although Pavlik doesn't always fight the way he did against Miranda, I do think he's gonna put pressure on Taylor. I don't see this becoming a chess match type of fight. I think Taylor is gonna be forced into making a higher punch output than his last fight. Not neccisarily a brawl, but a close exciting fight. I think Taylor still is the better boxer and will win a tough decision.
