Comments Thread For: Goossen Working To Finalize Andre Ward vs. Kelly Pavlik

BIGPOPPAPUMP

Andre Ward (26-0, 14KOs) defended his super middleweight title on Sept. 8 with a 10th-round TKO of Chad Dawson. His next opponent is likely to be former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (40-2, 34KOs). Dan Goossen confirmed he is still working on putting that fight together for Ward's next defense.

Oh well. I guess I was delusional to think that Pavlik had a chance at coming back in the first place, but putting him in with Ward? Say it isn't so.

Kelly said he wants the best after his bout with Rosinski. Unfortunately, he's getting his wishes.

The only question will be whether the cuts Ward will open up on him will get the fight stopped or not.

I think Kelly has too solid of a chin for Ward to knock him out, a la Dawson, but I do see Kelly cutting easily and the bout either being a blood bath or a cuts stoppage.

ward has to get his name out there a lil more so this fight in Vegas or AC would be good for Ward. Of course he's going to beat Pavlik into drinking again. this is gonna end bad for Kelly.

Dumb move by Pavlik if this is true. He should go after Arthur Abraham... that's a winnable fight for the WBO title, then if he still want's to fight Ward he could negotiate more money for a unification fight. Ward end's his career either way though, he should just try to get a Chavez jr. fight.

Kelly will get beat worst than when he fought Martinez and Hopkin together

Kelly never gave himself a real chance to gain a foot hold in addictive recovery and will now become a foot note in a sport that demands more from it's promising Fraternity.
