[The Gambler1981]

It is a fight that makes sense, Ward needs an opponent with a name and Pavlik wants to get his star back and beating Ward would be the fastest way back.

I don't like Pavlik's chances and Ward should beat him but I think Pavlik will come hard because he knows he needs to make the most of this opportunity even if he doesn't win.

Plus considering where Pavlik has been it will probably be easier for him to get up for a guy like Ward than the tune-ups he has been having.
