BEST REGARDS"
I have since responded asking what will happen if Miranda loses and they have not gotten back to me when they do I will post their response.
And to those of you who question why Kelly Pavlik should be inline for a title shot, he is the #1 WBC, #3 WBA, #5 WBO and #8 IBF. That speaks for why, the sanctioning bodies have him rated in the top 5 in all but 1 association. Just sit back and wait, I am sure I will be laughing last after Pavlik wins and finally gets his shot against Taylor and becomes the Middleweight Champion of the World.
I have also heard that the WBO wants to get on the Pavlik train and have him fight their #1 ranked Middleweight Khoren Gevor. This could be called a final eliminator by the WBO and then the winner to get a mandatory against Taylor. Either way Pavlik will get his title shot, the easier road would be through the WBO as I feel Pavlik will eat up Gevor, but I would much rather see Miranda v.s. Pavlik.
