Well the week is upon me, Saturday I'll be heading over to the Jersey side on one last power drive down the AC Expressway to Boardwalk Hall to watch Kelly Pavlik and Sergio Martinez exchange hands for the Middleweight Title of the World. I think this fight will be fireworks from the start. The way I see it playing out is this; Rounds 1-3 will be Martinez circling and boxing, sticking and moving with Pavlik stalking with the double jab. Around Rounds 4-6 Pavlik will begin to find the range and cut the ring off landing his double jab and sledgehammer right. I think we'll see a knock down in Round 7 from Pavlik and he will finish him in Round 9. The crowd should be its typical Pavlik crowd, with his beer drinking Youngstown natives supplying most of the crowd.
On the non-televised part of the undercard Delaware's own "Mighty" Mike Tiberi will be taking his 12-1 Middleweight record into the ring on his biggest stage yet. The 22 year old will be looking to turn some heads under the lights of historic Boardwalk Hall. All of us here in the First State wish him well.
Over the weekend Andre Berto got back on track by stopping the durable Carlos Quintana and in the Bad Idea Fight of the Year Candidate Evander Holyfield got rid of Francois Botha in the 8th Round.
I'll be sure to update how my Saturday night of championship Boxing on the Jersey Shore plays out.
