Kelly Pavlik vs. John Duddy is in Jeopardy

[Moodious]

Duddy already hinted at not being ready for Pavlik yet. So they go and they price themselves out of the bout. I can't blame him Duddy still needs more seasoning and his time will come eventually.

i don't think any ammount of time is going to make duddy much better. he is very average, and thats all he is ever going to be!

[robjr]

After days of negotiating that were going so bad that talks had already been started to match Kelly Pavlik and Giovanni Lorenzo in June, a financial deal was reached late last night to match Pavlik and John Duddy.

However, very early on Sunday morning, the cut that Duddy suffered in his bout against Walid Smichet was deemed too deep and severe and he will not be fighting against Pavlik in June, according to Team Duddy.

The likely opponent is Giovanni Lorenzo, according to Team Pavlik.

The bout also might not be held at Madison Square Garden. With Lorenzo the likely opponent and not Duddy, the bout might be moved to Ohio or at least closer to Pavlik's hometown of Youngstown, Ohio.

too bad... I was lookin for a KO of the year candidate after what kelly would do to overhyped duddy

[Karlos81]

Duddy although i dont think would beat Pavlik is much better than he showed last night.

He did beat Howard Eastman pretty handily.

He showed one thing.............

A CHIN!

[BabyFaceAssasin]

I like Pavlik vs Winky better anyway. Duddy is not ready and doesn't deserve to fight Kelly yet. He needs to step in with better competition and look more impressive. He looked like crap the other night, and if it was Pavlik hitting him that would've been quick.

man pavlik would kill this ****ing dude. i say first round KO for pavlik if they are to fight.

[ExecutiveOutlaw]

wright and hopkins are not still going strong, hopkins has founght no one of note in the last few years and will get completely outclassed by calzaghe, and wrights style takes no energy cos he has none, pavlik would own him but it would not be a good fight, may as well take the trinidad pay day at 168 now

who the hell are these crazy people comin out of nowhere?

It must be tough on Duddy to wake up this morning thinking that, if not for a bad cut, that you would be making over $1.4 million on June 7 though.
