A fight with a newly-arrived SMW Pavlik would be a do-or-die career contest for Jeff. Ditto Kelly. Careers have been resurrected on less. Style-wise it could fly. The supposition would be Pavlik would win by stoppage in a short, slam-bang affair, well positioned for a top-ten SMW match. Lacy’s last fight was a loss to Roy Jones.

That's a viable promotion. Is shopworn Jeff Lacy still available? That’s a viable promotion.

Being a bigger guy rescues him from the now-deadend MW division. He appears to have a legitimate out with the weight issue. Being a bigger guy rescues him from the now-deadend MW division.

If he stays at MW then fight Sturm instead of the rematch.

And I agree, Title Bout really does simulate the style's makes fights formula very well. Kelly Pavlik seems slower than I remember him for some reason? I'm not sure if they'll invoke the rematch clause, but Pavlik needs to be more active if he hopes to revive his career. Coming into this fight, there were a lot of questions about him. Health problems kept him out of a good fight with Paul Williams and now he loses to Martinez. Right now, I'd rather see a Williams-Martinez rematch at 160. Looking forward, I'd really like to see Lucian Bute fight the winner of the Super-6 Tournament. He's really building a following in Canada and appears to be really coming into his own.

I thought Pavlik's natural size advantage would be enough going in. They have a rematch clause in the contract, so I'm assuming there will be part two to this fight.

I have no idea who on Pavlik's team looked at Martinez and thought the style matchup was good.
