Comments Thread For: Pavlik's Manager Prefers Tuneup, Then Bute or Kessler

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The manager of former WBC middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik would like to see him in a tuneup fight in August, followed by a super middleweight clash with either Canadian southpaw IBF king Lucian Bute or former WBA belt-holder Mikkel Kessler of Denmark.

he did look kinda crap last time out...

It makes a lot of sense for Pavlik to take another tune-up before facing the big guns. He needs to look impressive to get the confidence back and the rust off.

Well, if Bute is available for November have a tune up in August or Sept, shouldn't be a problem.

As much I want to see Pavlik fight some top opposition again, this is probably the right move for him.

Pavliks manager is making a smart choice.

[Discipline]

Yea, that makes sense, and then he should fight Kessler after his tune up.

I'd prefer Bute taking on the winner of Green vs Dirrell.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Pavlik should fight a tune up then fight kessler due to style then fight bute

[Eaner0919]

the problem they are having is that Kelly does not want to take tune up money so it's holding up his next fight

smart move............. no need to rush it at this point, build before you risk your career status again in a big fight.
