BoxingScene.com has spoken to sources close to the situation that have confirmed that Top Rank is indeed working on a super fight between middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and former middleweight lineal champion Kelly Pavlik. Various reports have been circulating around the internet. The fight would take place at Dallas Cowboys stadium on December 4th.
My sources believe that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and Freddie Roach (Chavez' trainer) believe Pavlik may be finished and this is a chance for Chavez Jr. to elevate himself to superstar status. Chavez has a fight scheduled for September 25 in Mexico.
