'The Buckeye ****er' Breaks Out in 2007
By Steve Kim (Oct 3, 2007)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adorned in the scarlet-and-gray of The Ohio State University, Kelly Pavlik would find himself on his knees, buzzed and dazed from a barrage of Jermain Taylor punches in round two of their battle at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. But in a performance that would make Woody Hayes, Archie Griffin and Eddie George proud, he would dust himself off and proceed to stop Taylor in seven rounds.
While his beloved Buckeyes were taking care of the Minnesota Golden Gophers this past Saturday night, Pavlik would not just capture the world middleweight title, he left the boxing world buzzing with a performance worthy of a Buckeye helmet sticker.
It's been quite a 2007 for Pavlik. From being a relatively unknown prospect who faced Jose Luis Zertuche in January, the fledgling contender who stared down the streaking Edison Miranda in May and now with his pulsating victory over Taylor, Pavlik is now the clubhouse leader for 'fighter of the year' honors............................................ .................................................. ......................Rest of Article here..... http://www.maxboxing.com/Kim/Kim1003a07.asp
