I think this is a good fight for Kelly to come back to after the whole Hopkins mess. Rubio will be a tougher fight than Lockett, but shouldn't pose too much of a problem for Pavlik. With Duddy on the undercard I am wondering if Arum is looking to make Pavlik/Duddy next before Abraham. Personally, I think another fight before Abraham would be good for Kelly, even though boxing fans are demanding to see the two best middleweights square off as soon as possible. I also wonder where Sturm plays into the equation at this point? Perhaps after Pavlik/Abraham?
