No Sergio Martinez rematch, Kelly Pavlik to move up to Super Middleweight

Trainer Jack Loew spoke to My Valley Sports , advising the outlet that a conference took place on Monday with former champion Kelly Pavlik and managers Cameron Dunkin and father/manager Mike Pavlik. A decision was made to pass on the rematch with WBO/WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez, who won a twelve round decision over Pavlik on April 17 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

Pavlik was weighed on Monday and came in around 180-pounds. He is able to make the weight for the Martinez rematch but Loew says the struggle would be too much for Pavlik. He weighed as much as 190-pounds in the weeks leading up to the Martinez fight. They are not sure of their next move, but it won't be a fight at middleweight. They plan to move up to at least super middleweight.

Stick Kelly in with Sakio Bika,Librado Andrade,Arhtur Abraham,Mikkel Kessler or Carl Froch and you'll get some entertaining fights.

I think he better avoid Bute, Ward and Green. All those guys will kill Pavlik.

pavik will fight well at 168 for a while.he can beat a few good ones there and there are a few that will beat him within the distance..any fight hes involved in at 168 will be enetertaining for boxing fans..i look for kelly to fight 2 more years 5 or 6 fights there.win a few lose a few then call it a day..he will not be a dominating force at 168..the division has tooo much talent.
