Former middleweight champion Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik (39-2) returned to television with a TKO win over Scott Sigmon (22-4) on ESPN Friday Night Fights. Pavlik walloped his outmatched opponent most of the night and at times looked to be just a couple punches away from a knock out. As the fight went on, Sigmon was battered resulting in a bloody nose and cut mostly from Pavlik's straight rights. He was also hammered repeatedly by left hooks to the body. The bout was halted at the end of round seven. Pavlik should step a notch up for his next match, but needs to build more before facing another fighter in the top tier of a stacked super middle weight division.
Also on the undercard, former Notre Dame boxer Mike Lee (9-0) defeated Elisio Durazo (4-3) by unanimous decision in a six round bout that ESPN and many ringside thought was a four round scheduled match. It was noted by ESPN commentators that Lee was in a Subway commercial with Michael Phelps and others (see below). He won the bout, but was not impressive against a clearly out of shape opponent. Maybe he should try double meat next time on his pre-fight subs. Hey as he says, "when you're training to be the best, you got to eat the best."
