Comments Thread For: Arum: Pavlik Staying at 160, Facing Chavez Jr. on Dec. 4

[Deep Blue 1997]

According to Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, it's very possible that Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KOs)and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (41-0-1, 30KOs) will collide on December 4 at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. Last week, a report ran on BoxingScene.com that Pavlik was seriously considering the possibility of remaining in the middleweight division. The Youngstown native had previously announced his desire to move up in weight to 168-pounds. After thinking it over, Pavlik came to a decision and informed Top Rank that he would hire a nutritionist and remain at 160-pounds. [Click Here To Read More]

Not really. His career at 160 will be ended officially.

Not really. As much as I like Pavlik, the top guys at 168 would cremate him. Sure, he'd make another payday, so that's the part where I'd agree with you.

this means jr will no longer fight at 154 to bad he should of won a title there.but im looking forward to see him sep 11 as arum said a sloid oponent for him on sep 11 to see if he can pull it off against pavlik.all julio needs to do is simply stay away from the big right hand

what??? if pavlik wants to stay at this weight hes got to work on his speed, movement and pretty much fire all his corner because in his last fight his eyes were still bleeding throughout the fight..

Pavlik vs Wright? it should be good.. Winky still has it!

[onechance87]

Pavlik has no business staying at 160.

Nevertheless, I see this being a toe-to-toe battle.

Yeah bro,I was looking foward to a pavlik-andrade fight,But this could
be a good fight to.

THIS is a big step up for Jnr. Good ****.

Pavlik is not done, he will be hungry, and he will be angry.

Does anyone know anything about Jack Leow? Has he trained anyone of note before Kelly?

I don't know much about him. I wonder if Pavlik could do with a fresh start?

The first rule is, you don't sack the coach unless you got someone better to replace him..... but sometimes a change is as good as a rest.

Me too, a big step up for Chavez.

When Pavlik said he was going up to 168 I thought wtf?

He would be better off cutting off one of his legs and dropping down to 154
