This fight is PERFECT for Free TV, but ARUM wont do it. He made that promise when he was still high on the Miranda win and the signing of the Taylor fight.

Idk though, Arum seems motivated to make Pavlik into a mega-superstar, and putting him on ABC or something is the best way to do it.

why does he want Duddy? he should let Duddy improve a little, it's too early for Duddy to take on such a big challenge, Duddy is good and has the tools to last some rounds but Kelly is a whole different level, Duddy doesn't have the set skill to beat Pavlik.. regardless Pavlik still has to get past Taylor in their rematch, he should not even be talking about Duddy until the post fight interview of his Taylor rematch IF he wins it.. 100

That's an early announcement. What if Taylor wins?

Won't Pavlik want a third match for redemption?

probably but i think Pavlik would want to get in as many Middlweight fights as he possibly could before moving up and going after Taylor for a 3rd time.

Taylor is young and he's going to be around for a long time.

He might. However, he'd still have the Middleweight championship if he lost so he wouldn't need an immediate rematch unless he was just BLOWN OVER.

Is this because they are fighting at 168? Also, WHY are they fighting at that weight? Just wondering.

if duddy were to last more than 3 rounds i would lose all respect for pavlik...
im still hoping for my boy little rock to beat him though..
