After Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik Targets John Duddy

[THe TRiNiTY]

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

Well, they are fighting at 166, a catch weight since, win or lose in the first fight, Taylor wanted to move up to 168. Pavlik wasn't ready yet and so they decided on 166. Which, makes this a non-title bout because of said stipulations.

What in the hell has Duddy done, to earn a shot at the undisputed middleweight champion?

Become a regional draw who has a lot of flaws, which would make a champion who needs even MORE exposure look sensational.

That sounds like a fighter, that should avoid someone like Pavlik.

I guess his PPV numbers are good?

No. They could be, though.

Pavlik, TKO 8.

Pavlik....ko....4.

[M.I Truth ?]

He shouldnt be looking past Taylor. Talking about the next fight already is a bad idea. Talk about the date and next person you will be fighting the Monday after the fight.

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..

Well then ur probably gonna lose all your respect for Pavlik...

I mean, Duddy is not that talented but he has quick hands and is VERY tough.

Duddy would have to be completely seperated from his senses for him to be KOed, which is possible but probably not in the first 3 rounds, Pavlik isnt that kinda puncher.

He's mistaken as a 1 punch KO artist, but those 1 punches come after rounds of softening up.
