Just a reminder– the fight is this Saturday. It will be a HBO PayPerView event. We are so stoked over this fight. Most of Irongloves is rooting for “The Ghost”.

Joe & Tony are from Ohio. Joe is from a small town called Woodsfield, population 2,500. Tony is from Steubenville, population 19,300. Many of our members are from Ohio, you would be surprised how many Buckeyes reside here in the ‘Valley of the Sun’, Arizona.

Talk about an incredible line-up for the years end:
(these are free fights, they are not PayPerView - hooray!)

10/18  Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik vs Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins
11/08  Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones Jr.
11/15  Jermaine “Bad Intentions” Taylor vs Jeff “Left Hook” Lacey
11/22  Ricky “Hitman” Hatton vs Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi
12/06  Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao
12/13  Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin

Unbeaten Canadian star Jean Pascal 21-0 14 ko’s ( who we all know did his training at Irongloves earlier this year ) has turned down the chance to fight for the WBO interim title in favour of a clash with England’s Carl Froch 23-0 19 ko’s. Pascal has recognised that Froch is “a good puncher with good skills” but believes he has the edge in speed. Promoters Yvon Michel and Mick Hennessy have already started negotiations for a fight in Nottingham England, Froch’s home town.

They are looking at the end of October or start of November. “I’ll be ready,” said Pascal. “I don’t care if it is England, Montreal or the US. I was in England and fought in front of 15,000 people and won the commonwealth gold medal against the hometown fighter Paul Smith. I’ll be ready no matter where it is. I haven’t had a fight in 6 months, but i’ve been in the gym ( we know where that was folks !!! ) I knew if i just kept working hard something would happen.” Pascal’s decision upset German promoters Universum, who had been preparing to match him with the WBO No.1 Karoly Balzsay for the interim belt.
