| Arum: Pavlik To Fight in The Summer, Then Likely Bute
|
|
By David "Los Gatos" Rosenberg According to Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (37-2, 32KOs) is going to take a tuneup fight in the summer, likely in Youngstown, Ohio. Arum disclosed that he's still negotiating with InterBox for a fall clash between Pavlik and IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (28-0, 23KOs), who defends against Jean Paul Mendy on July 9th in Romania. In a recent BoxingScene.com interview, Pavlik's manager, Cameron Dunkin, discussed the likelihood of his boxer taking a tuneup prior to facing Bute.

Pavlik looked kinda ****ty in his last fight, but with some tune ups he should be ok. The Bute fight is gonna be real interesting. Bute will be in a fight. |

I dont think it is going to matter, tune up or no tune up. Pavlik is done as a contender. He looked like dog **** and should have lost his last fight...the guy he was fighting just ran out of steam the last couple rounds. I think Bute is way overrated, but will still smack Pavlik around. Pavl... |

that'd be a great fight to watch. i'm sure if pavlik looks like he did in his last fight, they might consider it. |

[QUOTE=hyeduk]The best option is Pavlik vs Abraham, and then winner gets Bute[/QUOTE]
