The Kelly Pavlik vs Sergio Mora fight was supposed to take place on June 27 in Atlantic City.  Pavlik management has said that their fighter has an infection and will not get to train enough to be ready for that particular date.  The two sides were close to finalizing a contract last week when talks were put on hold due to Pavlik’s injury.

I’m not sure what this does to the proposed November 7 fight against Arthur Abraham in New York City.  The Pavlik-Mora fight might be rescheduled for September which would obviously put the Arthur Abraham fight into 2010. 

One thing I am sure about is that Jack Loew will not rush his fighter into a match unless he is 100%, which obviously Pavlik is not right now.  Loew made that point clear in an interview I conducted with him last month.  You can see the entire Jack Loew interview from Paneech.com.

I will post more information on this turn of events as it becomes available.
