Comments Thread For: Martinez's Agent: Pavlik Rematch Has To Be at 160-Pounds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com was advised by Sampson Lewkowicz, agent for WBC/WBO middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, that a rematch with Kelly Pavlik will have to happen at 160-pounds per the rematch terms. There have been rumors that Pavlik might have trouble getting back to 160 and may request a catch-weight of 164. Lewkowicz tells BoxingScene they will not consider a rematch at a catch-weight of 164-pounds or otherwise. Pavlik has until May 17 to exercise or waive the rematch clause. [Click Here To Read More]

I'm happy to see this. Pavlik needs to make up his mind on whether to fight at 160 or 168. And he's no longer in a position to call the shots.

Fighting at a catchweight of 164 for the 160-pound title would be silly. Pavlik needs to either make the weight or just move on to super middleweight already.

That's not possible. The fight has to be at 160 to have the titles at stake.

I don't think he has a choice bro.

It's fairly obvious he needs to move up to 168. 160 is just not possible for him to make any more.

No way man.


Anyway, hopefully this doesn't go down so that Martinez can move on.

Why even bother with a rematch at that point, then. Pavlik might as well just move up if he isn't going to try to get the title back.

Pavlik would make a mistake taking the rematch.
