Kelly Pavlik vs. Marco Antonio Rubio

[Pongo]

Anyone got a link to watch?

FWIW, and IMO, Pavlik knocks the - outta this guy. Youngstown's own puts the smack down in front of the hometown crowd. 7000 drunk, angry steelworkers in the cheap seats, and the hometown hero out for blood after the Hopkins fight = disaster for El Veneno. The Ghost will be a bully tonight. He's ready to tear - up, and tear Rubio a new one at the Chevrolet Centre.

I agree , Pavlik all over him by KO .

 

[collegerookie]

When does this fight start??

 

[Pongo]

Joe Maxse, long (LONG) time boxing writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer is saying Pavlik in 8. I don't give it that long.

The PPV undercard starts at 9, Pavlik/Rubio at 11.

 

[Pongo]

Bronchitis and an elbow injury got the best of Pavlik in that Hopkins fight. Anyone who has watched Kelly knows that wasn't the same fighter, and something was wrong. He really should never have fought, and should still be undefeated.

Now he's got something to prove- to Youngstown (this dude is a GOD in Youngstown), and to himself.

Pavlik sure as - doesn't want to lose 2 in a row. If he wins, a fight on HBO and a big payday will be in the works. He knows he's a champ, and he knows champs come back from defeat even stronger.

Plus- the WBC and WBO Middleweight Titles on the line???? In front of all of Youngstown????

I feel bad for Marco tonight.

Maxse's 8 is a little generous for Rubio- my guess is 5. Rubio is
43-4-1/37 KO, but he's walking into a lion's den tonight.

Any of you ever been to Youngstown??? Hahahaha.

gentleman`s disagreement...bhop schooled pavlik..he`s to slow and one dimesional for a guy like bhop...

that said,i have a pavlik/cotto inside the distance parlay at 2 to win 1.20... and going with a small hedge on rubio itd at better than 10-1....

 

[Pongo]

yeah i can see where you would say that about the hopkins fight. style def. confused him, but he certainly wasn't outclassed. i say that only because i think that was pavlik at about 7, not pavlik at 10. fight-week bronchitis will def. f/ you up. plus a bad elbow . . . plus pavlik stepped up in weight, and it still went all 12.

sure, the pavlik/cotto parlay w/ hedge on rubio i think would be the obvious play. 50-1, 10-1 heavy favorites tonight.

you think justintv would have this?

i`m hoping...this does not deserve ppv status...and given that,$44.95?....MAYBE $24.95....
