Billy Lyell will get his shot at a middleweight title fight next weekend against Sebastian Sylvester! Billy Lyell is also trained by Jack Loew, now if Lyell wins and Kelly Pavlik wants to unify the belts he has to go through Lyell! Crazy because they are from the same gym! South Side Boxing Club in youngstown Ohio. Jack Loew may have 2 world middleweight champs on his hands! Go Billy Lyell!!! One thing I know for sure is that Lyell will not get ko'd! He's tuff as nails.
All good fighters have to fight some lower tier fighters once in a while just to fill their own schedule. Lyell is a journeyman, but I congratulate him on doing well enough recently to make a decent payday.
As for Sylvester time will tell if this will be just a fill in or a regular type of deal. You cannot criticize him yet. He fought some tough guys to get where he is at.
At least pavlik fights world class opponents.......
lol; Pavlik; that's an American bum; seriously i'm European and i always see Germans who got worldtitles fighting bums; thats kind of sad :no:.
