In less than three-weeks, WBC/WBO middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik will rise to the catch-weight of 170-pounds to challenge Bernard Hopkins. The October 18th bout is a battle of the new guard vs. the old guard. Hopkins returns from an April loss to Joe Calzaghe. Some observers felt Hopkins did enough to deserve the decision. Pavlik plans to take the fight to Hopkins from the opening bell to set a very fast pace to see just how much the veteran fighter has left. [details]
