As long as the fight happens in November or December, I don't really care if it's postponed. But let's hope this isn't a sign of things to come for what looks like a promising fall fight schedule.

Its been rescheduled a month and a half. Its not good news but its not the end of the world.

[OumaFan]

strange all the way around, why is Pavlik missing his appointments and why is Goosen saying things like they "canceled the press conference and thus the fight?"

[Spicoli]

Par for the course lately.Then again postponement is better than Canceled.Hate the shuffle and how it breaks up some undercards also.

[generalbulldog]

Seems like Pavlik is having a lot of injuries, didn't the same thing happen with his supposedly upcoming fight with Mora that eventually got scrapped?

For some reason I just have a gut feeling that this fight will be scrapped too.
