1. Joe Calzaghe-Kelly Pavlik October 18??? Bob Arum is working hard to get his fighter Kelly Pavlik a showdown with Joe Calzaghe with a target date of October 18. If the fight can't be made, he wants Pavlik to fight in September and in December. More than likely Pavlik will face Marco Antonio Rubio as he was penciled in to fight before he was considered to fight Calzaghe.
2. Lou Dibella says they are beyond the talking stages for a Jermain Taylor-Jeff Lacy fight. Dibella said if they can finalize a deal, then November is the target date for the fight. Rumors have been circulating that Jermain Taylor has gotten to over 200lbs, so he may want to start training now to avoid weight issues in the near future.
3. It could be just a little over a week until the final decision comes from the Calzaghe camp as to what is going to happen with the Super Middleweight Title. The WBC expects to hear if Calzaghe is going to vacate his title or not. I guess a lot depends on if he fights Kelly Pavlik or Roy Jones Jr. If he fights Pavlik he may fight at 168, but if he fights Jones he probably will vacate and stay at 175. Time will tell.
4. Sergio Mora will probably have to fight his mandatory Sergio Martinez in his next fight. Martinez is the WBC Super Welterweight mandatory. Mora, who upset Vernon Forrest last night, will have to accept the mandatory in order to keep his title.
