Pavlik-Lyell? No. No, no, no. No.
After light-punching journeyman Billy Lyell upset John Duddy in Newark last Friday, Jack Loew (who trains Lyell and middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik) wasn't exactly glowing in his praise for his fighter, which spoke greatly of what he thought of Duddy: Jack Loew’s observation that Duddy...

Bad Left Hook Fight Night: Pavlik-Lockett, Quintana-Williams II, Ponce de Leon-Lopez
