I take nothing away from Jermaine. In the first fight with Pavlik, Jermaine fought a great fight and almost had Kelly out in the second round. However, now Kelly knows that he can stop Jermaine. This gives Kelly a huge advantage. Also Kelly is still undefeated. He is very unwilling to lose a fight to anyone.
And in case Bernard Hopkins forgot, this “White Boy” just destroyed the top three contenders in a row, none of whom had ever been knocked out. It’s like Jack Dempsey revisited.
I strongly encourage all fight fans to see this re-match. It is going to be another great middleweight fight. Kelly Pavlik, the young fighter from the tough steel town of Youngstown, Ohio has stirred the imagination of Boxing fans all over the world. Go Kelly!
