Kelly Pavlik is a United States born fighter, out of Youngstown Ohio. He has a solid record of 25 wins 0 losses and 22 ko's. With having a good amateur background, Pavlik has made himself a name soon to be feared by all in the super middleweight division.
Pavlik's trainer and handlers have been moving him along nicely, by increasing his level of competition. Although his last fight was against a guy who had a 50/50 record, the reason for that fight was to stay active, and staying active is the key to becoming a serious contender and eventually a world champ.
Kelly was given his nickname "The Ghost" in the amateurs, cause of his slick boxing style. Now in the pros, he brings in his slickness as well as his power. Having 22 knockouts in 25 fights, that makes him an exciting and interesting fighter to watch.
Everyone likes to see a knockout, and everyone wants to see an undefeated fighter get tested. I know I do. Once Pavlik starts to fight higher ranked fighters, it's just a matter of time before he starts blowing up in the boxing scene around the world. The kid has some serious potential, and is slowly becoming an attraction, so keep a look out and listen for his name, Kelly Pavlik.
