Top Rank's next big fight card will be at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Saturday, Jan. 27. Jorge Arce, 45-3-1 with 35 knockouts will headline and box 12 rounds. Powerful undefeated middleweight Kelly Pavlik will open the televised show which will be broadcast on Home Box Office (HBO). [details]

I'm really interested in seeing who they put Pavlik in with here, I want to see how he does against a strong and game middleweight who can **** with him. Right now, Pavlik is simply too big for the kind of guys he's been in with. Bronco McKart, Leonard Pierre, these dudes couldn't see him like that, total mismatches. I'd love to see him with Edison Miranda, should he get by Willie Gibbs which I think is gonna happen.

I'd love to see that fight too!
Would be a great setup for a mandatory against Taylor in the WBC.

Hopefully the opponents are decided soon. 1/27 is only 6 weeks away and their opponents will need time to prepare...

I'm very much anticipating seeing Miranda next week with Willie Gibbs. Gibbs was an exceptional amateur a few years back, he brings a stern test for Miranda.

boxrec has him facing Raymond Joval, but then again boxrec also jumped the gun and has him rated as a super middle after false reports. Can't always believe everything you see there. It doesn't take much to know none of the current champs want anything to do with Pavlik. Sturm getting another joke of a title shot after getting his ass knocked out, yet the real talent in the division have to wait.

Im lookin forward to this card as well.

I will be there at the HONDA CENTER in Anaheim.

my boy Vanes Martirosyan will fight his first 8-Round fight on this card before Pavlik.

We are expecting about 500 to 1000 Armenians to go there from the Glendale area.

Cant wait.
