Ok, I know exactly "shit" about boxing. About as much as I know about women. But Pavlik pushed this motherfucker around like a little bitch. This was for a title shot. It was "no contest" except for the end of the 3rd round IIRC. A complete and utter beatdown that was supposed to be a 12 rounder according to "those in the know". I grew up with "Boom Boom" Mancini and he was something us in Y-Town were proud of. Then, he killed the dude. It was a blow to all of us (Mancini is part of "us", never doubt). And Mancini never got over it. Anyway, I love you guys, I really do. But nothing makes me prouder than a hometown guy "making it". It's tough to be from the "asshole of Ohio" and I wish we weren't always looked at like that. We give you Tressel (no matter what Berea people say) and we want you people to know that we are more than just the "butt of the joke". That's fine if you think I'm whining. I'll wake up tomorrow and not even remember I typed this, but I will remember that we've got another world class athlete representing us in Y-Town. We hope he doesn't "get his Goose on", but we will still be proud. We had "OH-IO" cheers going on tonight for a boxing match!!! Give the Y-Town some love!!!!!

Pavlik gives Miranda rights; he's silent
'The Ghost' wins by KO, title shot awaits
Sunday, May 20, 2007 Scott Cacciola
Special to The Plain Dealer
Memphis, Tenn.- Kelly Pavlik recorded the most significant win of his boxing career Saturday night by knocking out Edison Miranda in the seventh round of their middleweight bout at FedExForum.
Pavlik (31-0, 28 knockouts), a 25-year-old fighter from Youngstown and the WBC's top contender, twice sent Miranda (28-2, 24 KOs) tumbling to the canvas in the sixth round, then knocked him out with 1:54 left in the seventh.
With the win, Pavlik became the mandatory challenger to face middleweight champion Jermain Taylor - who outpointed Cory Spinks in a split decision in Saturday's main event - for the world title.

Pavlik puts some punch in a bid for title shot
Monday, May 21, 2007
Fight of the year.
That's how Kelly Pavlik's electrifying victory against Edison Miranda on Saturday night in Memphis, Tenn., is already being phrased. And why not?
There was more power-packed action between these gutsy middleweights than on most fight cards. Make that three full shows. Heck, make it five.

Great fight-Pavlik had a plan and forced it upon miranda w/ a vengeance. If Miranda learns some D, he will have another title shot. Then again, after the hell Miranda went through as a kid-orphaned and homeless at 10 years old in Colombia-he is a winner making it this far.
Pavlik-Taylor will be an interesting fight, but Pavlik will not be able to bully Taylor into the ropes like he did Miranda. Taylor is a puncher, but he does his damage from long distance, and can use his athleticism to keep a clear distance between himself and his opponents-if Pavlik tries to get close, it could be ugly.

Boxing's on a roll, and Ohio fighter is helping
By Greg Simms

Hold that diagnosis on boxing's demise.
The sport just jumped up and skipped out of the intensive care unit, and it's picking up speed. The Oscar De La Hoya vs. Floyd Mayweather bout helped, even though HBO's two-headed dolt ? Jim Lampley and Larry Merchant ? tried to convince viewers that excellent defense is bad for the sport.

OSU coach congratulates Pavlik!
Tuesday, May 22 2007
While at a United Way For Children benefit dinner tonight in Boardman, Ohio, middleweight sensation Kelly Pavlik of Youngstown was called to the podium by one of his heroes - Jim Tressel, the Ohio State football coach. "I want some of that Pavlik Power too!" Tressel laughed, as the two exchanged autographed photographs at Mister Anthony's Restaurant. Fans took pictures and congratulated Pavlik who was there with his father, Mike, who worked the charity event as a bartender.
