Comments Thread For: Arum: Pavlik To Fight in The Summer, Then Likely Bute

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (37-2, 32KOs) is going to take a tuneup fight in the summer, likely in Youngstown, Ohio. Arum disclosed that he's still negotiating with InterBox for a fall clash between Pavlik and IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (28-0, 23KOs), who defends against Jean Paul Mendy on July 9th in Romania. In a recent BoxingScene.com interview, Pavlik's manager, Cameron Dunkin, discussed the likelihood of his boxer taking a tuneup prior to facing Bute.

great fight, needs to happen

[Outworn]

Probably get someone southpaw.

What a surprise this is Pavlik needs a tune up what a joke he is you don't see Mayweather going for a tune up he's fighting a legit fighter. Bob Arum needs to stop with this guy already what a baby Pavlik is he's done and everybody knows it.

[Evil Abed]

Fight Andrade or Pryor Jr.

Two good tune-ups.

Man, great year for boxing.

- Hype jobs are being tested some won and most lost:
Berto lost to Ortiz
Alexander lost to Bradley
JuanMa lost to Salido
Kirkland lost to Ishida

Bradley won against Alexander
Ortiz won against Berto (Fight of the Year)
Canelo won against Matthew Hatton and Ryan Rhodes


Legitimate and exciting fights:
Ward winning against Abraham
Froch winning against Johnson
Maidana winning against Morales
Brandon Rios winning against Miguel Acosta
Nonito Donaire winning against Fernando Montiel
Sergio Martinez winning against Serhiy Dzinziruk (had to google his name)
Miguel Cotto winning against Ricardo Mayorga
Segura winning over Ivan Calderon

Boring fight of 2011:
Manny Pacquiao's win over Sugar Shane Mosley (only highlight 3rd round Knockdown of Mosley)
Canelo's win over Hatton

If I missed some maybe because some of them were in Mexico and had to watch it through my computer. I remember fights on the television better than the ones I saw in my computer.

Hope Pavlik gets better. Bute vs Pavlik especially set in Canada will be awesome.

FORGOT ABOUT HOPKINS VS PASCAL

Really great year for boxing.

You go home and drown yourself in alcohol. Tell me if you are set to go back to your work 100% after a severe alcoholic depression.

[ShoulderRoll]

Kelly should fight James DeGale.

[120]

Bute should finish what Martinez started...

yeah, pavlik needs tuneups, he didn't look ready for someone like bute in his last fight.
