Wheres Kelly Pavlik and whens he gonna be back?

[mexirican]

Kelly seems to be doing fine. Just seen him on the golf course, he has an outing coming up. He is in good shape still getting his gym work in, ready for the best option. I for one would like to see him fight Mora. All in all just trying to keep a low profile and squash all the haters.

Was he using a bottle of Jack Daniels as a 9 iron?

Not funny at all, pretty immature and useless comment

Ya guess it's all fun, just tired of hearing all those type of jokes, everyone had a joke around here except Pavlik of course, it's just old now.

Paul Williams wants to fight him.

Last I heard was Arum telling Steve Bunce that they're working with HBO to set up a October unification with Felix Sturm. I've recently heard HBO lowballed the fight with a shitty offer, so watch this space.

Sturm fighting another champion? Sorry, I can't see it. I see Pavlik and Abraham eventually unifying the titles with Sturm hiding in the shadows.

Well don't count a match between Pavlik and Mora out yet. Looks like Sturm is not going to happen, he definitely won't be fighting Abraham this year, and I know for a fact, that Mora is fighting for his rights to the fight legally. If Kelly fights someone else, Arum is going to have to pay Mora off to do so.

Top Rank, and Pavlik signed a contract for the fight, and he's holding them to it. I know a lot of people here don't like this fight, but if they signed a contract, and then the fight gets cancelled because of bull$hit on their end, they should still honor that contract.

The only chance anyone EVER has of fighting arthur abraham is if they have a decidedly average record, dont mind spending 7-8 rounds hitting someone that doesnt wanna fight and must consider fighting outside of germany sickening!!

There are no decent fights out there for kelly hence the reason he should move up to 168 and mix it up with the likes of kessler, bute, froch etc

I agree with him moving up in weight. I think he has some cleaning up to do with Abraham and Sturm but with my statement above, I don't see Sturm trying to fight either man. So if Pavlik can get past Abraham, it's time for him to move up and fight a much more live division at 168.

Well C-Lo, I don't see Pavlik vs Abraham ever happening. Abraham is going to be tied up with that SMW tournament.

Sturm is actually one of those rare german fighters who doesnt mind sticking his money where his mouth is and i think he`d wanna fight AA.

Dont see the fight happening in germany though. There would be too much to lose for sauerland by sticking their best guys in with eachother rather than just selling them seperately on their own individual cards.

Seriously if king arthur doesnt pull his finger out soon he is gonna get a ottke like reputation

Does anyone have any idea whats happening with Kelly Pavlik? Since the cancellation of the Sergio Mora fight, theres been hardly any news on the middleweight champ whatsoever (apart from the story that he was having trouble with alcohol addiction which was later quashed by him and his team). If anyones got any info i would much appreciate it as Pavlik is one of my favourite fighters and i cant wait to see him in action again.

He's probly still licking his wounds from the Hopkins fight when he was totally exposed!

Do you not pay attention to anything?

Abraham is going to be tied up in that SMW tournament for the next 2 years, where he's going to start out facing Taylor, then Dirrell, and then Froch, and if he advances he could face Kessler. So I would say his finger is pulled out, because he's going up against some good competition in a weight class that he's just now moving into.

So you genuinely believe everyone of those guys competing in that tournament wont wanna make a bit of money on the side by fighting someone else or do you seriously believe their contract will state they cannot fight anyone else for another 2 years?

And stop pigeon holeing me, your getting annoying now and a c*nting off is primed and ready to be directed at your direction!

Ohhh, I'm scared.



And to answer your question, sure they may take some fights in between, but I don't think that they will take a fight against anybody that stands a chance at really injuring, or beating them. It will probably be more like a keep busy fight, and that's it. They need to be able to fight at their best in order to advance into the semi's and the final, which I'm guessing will mean that with each advancement, will come a higher pay. So why would they take a chance of screwing it up? You think these guys don't want to have the bragging rights of winning this whole thing?

I read on bad left hook that there are rumors circulating Carl Froch will fight Kelly Pavlik on October 3rd and yes that probably would mean Froch would be out of the Showtime tournament. But, substitute in Bute and maybe that is a good thing?

Well the reports on the tournament are, that Froch is supposed to be at the press conference on Monday, so the fight against Pavlik, can be just that, a rumor. I guess we'll find out on Monday.

[Mr140]

Well i still think Kelly can beat the like of the King and Froch just becuse Hopkins beat him does not mean he can win against those guys.
