It's now being reported that the Pavlik-Duddy fight isn't quite a done deal since their waiting on Taylor's people to see if they're going to exercise the rematch clause.

Vargas And Mayorga To Fight At 168:
By Matthew Hurley: The Fernando Vargas Ricardo Mayorga fight will now be fought at 168 pounds. The bout which was originally scheduled for September 8th was postponed when Vargas was diagnosed with anemia. Vargas camp contacted Mayorgas camp requesting the weight change and Ricardo agreed. Neither fighter has ever fought above 160 pounds.
The fight, to take place on November 23rd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, is being billed as Fernandos farewell to boxing. Vargas, 26-4 with 22 KOs is coming off back to back losses to Shane Mosley. His struggles with his weight are notorious and when the fight was initially signed he remarked that after the second loss to Mosley he had ballooned up to nearly two hundred and thirty-five pounds. The fact that he requested an additional eight pound weight allowance doesnt speak well for this so-called farewell to the sport.
Mayorga, 28-6-6 with 23 KOs is coming off a 6th round TKO loss to Oscar De La Hoya. El Matador has become something of a staple for once elite fighters looking for an opponent who will mouth off at press conferences to garner public interest and then stand straight up and walk into punches once the bell rings thereby making his opponent look brilliant. He performed this task well against Felix Trinidad and then De La Hoya and now Vargas hopes he does the same for him.
Mayorga was already playing his villainous role to the hilt at a press conference in July when a few choice remarks led to a brawl on the podium. Vargas took the bait and a fight, really not worthy of pay-per-view, became something of a fun diversion. Suddenly the fight itself became a little more compelling because where Mayorga is easy to hit, Vargas chin is now easy to dent. The fight took on the appeal of a potential street fight with the winner being the one who landed the first big punch.
Now the fight will come the day after Thanksgiving and with many having the day off from work this pay-per-view card will probably sell fairly well. Vargas maintains a loyal fan base and Mayorga presents the perfect foil.
The undercard has yet to be finalized.
Vazquez Vs. Marquez III:
March 1
At TBA (Showtime): Israel Vazquez vs. Rafael Marquez, rubber match, 12 rounds, for Vazquez's Ring/WBC junior featherweight title
I can't believe I gotta wait until March of 2008 to see this fight

I think its better that way. It would just be way too brutal too make them do a 3rd one so soon. Give them some time to heal up and rest so they can give a helluva performance one last time.
RIP Diego Corrales
40-5 (33 KO's)
Rest In Peace to one of the fiercest warriors to ever step foot into the ring. His body may have passed, but his spirit will live on through his epic bouts. May his eternity be filled with cheering fans and loving family.

Darchinyan defeats Catubay

DARCHINYAN BACK AS CHAMP, AIMS DONAIRE REMATCH
By Maloney L. Samaco
PhilBoxing.com
Mon, 22 Oct 2007
Vic Darchinyan bolstered his quest for world supremacy by getting his comeback KO over Filipino Federico Catubay in Auburn RSL Club, Auburn (Sydney), New South Wales, Australia. But not before being threatened with the greatest upset of his career by under-rated Filipino fighter.
Nicknamed Magnifico, Catubay knocked Darchinyan off balance in the sixth round with an extensive punch and only the ropes saved Vic from visiting the canvas. A knockdown could have been called but there was none.
The Armenian-born fighter took nearly the full 12 rounds against a very valiant and exasperating adversary. The Raging Bull scored a 12th round TKO with just 57 seconds remaining against the harsh Cebu-based fighter. The bout was for the International Boxing Organization world super-flyweight title.
While the IBO crown doesn't carry the influence or prestige of some of the more established boxing organizations, it will guarantee Darchinyan to remain in the upper echelons of the global boxing scene.
In his first fight in Australia for over two years, 31-year-old Darchinyan carefully picked apart his gutsy but outboxed opponent. "It was a hard fight. He was tough and it's actually good because I can now learn from my mistakes,'' Darchinyan said.
Darchinyan, who improved his record to 29-1 with 23 KOs, dominated the bout, registering knockdowns in the 7th and 11th round. Catubay's record dropped to 20-14 with 11 KOs. The Filipino fighter took enormous punishment in the 12th round and Australian referee Garry Dean stopped the bout with the final round almost ending.
The Raging Bull, who also picked up the IBF Pan Pacific belt, entered the ring rated No. 6 by IBF and No. 3 by IBO computerized listings, while the Filipino is rated a far away No. 31 by IBO.
In a previous visit to Sydney in 2005, Catubay was halted in three rounds by Darchynian's stablemate Hussein Hussein, older brother of trainer Billy, for the OPBF flyweight belt.
Darchinyan's amateur career was 158-18 record with 105 knockouts, all but 20 of them were in Armenia, as he joined Armenian team in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He lost to Bulat Jumadilov of Kazakhstan. Darchinyan moved to Australia after competing in the Olympics, eventually became an Australian citizen and turned pro at the age of 24.
It was Darchinyan's first fight since losing his IBF and IBO world flyweight titles to Filipino Nonito Donaire, Jr. in July and he immediately called out Donaire for a rematch. My promoter wants to promote a rematch between me and Donaire early in the New Year, declared Darchinyan. "That's something my manager will have to work out.''
Darchinyan's passion for knocking out his opponents finally backfired in his bout with Donaire, with the then champion leaving himself exposed to a colossal left hook which ended the fight in the fifth round.
The US-based General Santos City native won the IBF flyweight title with a knockout of the previously undefeated southpaw on July 7, 2007 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. His counter left hook that landed on Darchinyans jaw is an early candidate for knockout of the year and even upset of the year for 2007.

Taylor jumps at opportunity for another shot at PavlikIt's rematch time.
Jermain Taylor, who lost the middleweight championship when Kelly Pavlik knocked him out in the seventh round of their Sept. 29 fight, has exercised his contractual option for an immediate rematch, Taylor promoter Lou DiBella said Tuesday.
DiBella said he was notified of Taylor's decision by adviser Al Haymon on Monday afternoon. DiBella then notified Bob Arum, Pavlik's promoter. Taylor had until Oct. 29 to make a decision.
The rematch probably will happen in mid-to-late February, with the 16th the frontrunner as the date, but it will depend on HBO's schedule. Contractually, the rematch must take place within 150 days of the first fight.
"We notified [Top Rank] and they were fine with it," DiBella said. "It was like, 'Let's get it on, let's work it all out, let's do the details.' "
HBO already has two major fights in the works for the month, a Feb. 2 welterweight unification match between Paul Williams and Kermit Cintron and a probable Feb. 23 heavyweight title defense by Wladimir Klitschko.
The site for the rematch also has not been determined, nor has it been decided if it will be televised on HBO or HBO PPV, DiBella said. Atlantic City, N.J., site of the first bout, is a possible venue. The September bout drew a wild crowd of 10,127 to Boardwalk Hall; thousands made the 6-hour drive from Youngstown, Ohio, Pavlik's hometown, to see what turned out to be a candidate for fight of the year.
One detail that was ironed out when the rematch clause was written was that the fight will be a non-title bout unless the sides agree to tweak the terms. The rematch clause calls for the fight to take place at a maximum weight of 166 pounds, which is six more than the middleweight limit.
"It will be at 166," DiBella said. "That's what both sides seem to acknowledge right now."
DiBella said he wasn't surprised that Taylor opted for the rematch right away instead of a scenario that had been discussed in which both fighters would take interim bouts before forging the rematch.
"Jermain told me four times he wanted the rematch right after the fight," DiBella said. "He told me again that he wanted it when I talked to him a week later. So it's not really a surprise to me. Jermain Taylor is someone who has never run from a challenge."
Pavlik's camp had been exploring an optional fight for Jan. 26 against popular Irishman John Duddy. Cameron Dunkin, Pavlik's manager, said their team is fine with the Taylor rematch instead.
"We're ready to fight Jermain again," Dunkin said Tuesday. "Kelly said from the beginning that he was glad to have the rematch if that's what Taylor wanted to do. He'll give Jermain the opportunity like Jermain gave him the opportunity. That's fine. Kelly told me, 'I'm a fighter. I'm fine either way.' "
Dunkin said when he called Pavlik, his father and co-manager Mike Pavlik, and trainer Jack Loew to tell them about Taylor's decision, they were excited.
"I told them they had exercised the rematch and that Kelly would be fighting Jermain Taylor next," Dunkin said. "He said, 'Great.' We talked about the weight for a minute. I told him I would let him know the particulars about the rest when I found out. I said, 'Are you happy?' He said, 'Absolutely.' Kelly will be even better at the higher weight."
One of the major questions surrounding the rematch will be the state of Taylor's corner. His four-fight pairing with Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward has not gone well and there has been a lot of talk about Taylor making a change. With Steward, Taylor is 2-1-1 -- a controversial draw with Winky Wright, unimpressive decision wins against junior middleweights Kassim Ouma and Cory Spinks, and the knockout loss to Pavlik.
"It's not a decision I make and I am not involved in," DiBella said of the possibility of a change in the corner. "Right now, I have not been told one way or the other what is going on with that."
DiBella said he supports Taylor's decision to take the rematch right away.
"I think Jermain can win," DiBella said. "I think he wants it, he's entitled to it and he can win. It's a fine decision. He's committed to it. It's a hell of a fight and the outcome is in doubt. Their first fight justifies a rematch."
Their first fight indeed was a thriller. Taylor (29-1-1, 17 KOs) scored a second-round knockdown and was on the verge of a stoppage, but Pavlik (32-0, 29 KOs) survived the round. They went toe to toe for much of the fight.
Pavlik, 25, was trailing on all three scorecards in the seventh round when he caught Taylor, 29, of Little Rock, Ark., with several hard punches, including a pair of uppercuts, that dumped Taylor into a heap on the mat and led referee Steve Smoger to immediately call the fight.

I think Taylor has so much more potential than he's shown in the last couple fights.
Hopefully, he brings it in the rematch and we get another great fight. I still don't see homie winning it though. Kelly's pretty nice with the hands.
on a side note:

your avy makes me so sad. string is one of my favorite characters of all time. why omar gotta do him like that nh?

For those who are interested the World Boxing Championship is being held here in Chicago. It is a qualifier for the 2008 Olympics.
I'm not sure how large the fields are for each weight class but tonight was lightweights night.
Two rings with two matches going at the same time. 4 rounds for 2 minutes each round.
I was confused cause the scoring was not at all to what I was used to.
Some results
Mexico - lost
US - won
Canada - won
Japan - won
Best match up of the night was Peru vs Nicaroga (sp*)
I might go back for the finals but I can't say this was my kind of boxing.
