Kelly (the Ghost) Pavlik (35-1-30 KO’s) gave the ultimate gift to his great Youngstown fan base by defeating Marco Antonio Rubio (43-5-1 38KO’S) and retaining his WBC /WBO Middleweight titles at the Chevrolet Center in Youngstown.
What started out as a decent matchup with both fighters feeling each other out in the first round? Pavlik’s power and precision punches begin to take over throughout the next couple of rounds. The fight looked to be coming to quick end as Pavlik landed some devastating blows to Rubio and tying him up with combinations against the ropes and in the corner. Pavlik looked great in the ring but seemed unable to finish Rubio early. Rubio’s quickness and craftsmanship in the ring was able to bail him out of trouble and keep the fight alive for another few rounds. The end of the ninth round came as the fighters returned to their corners. Before the 10th started the referee waived his arms that it’s over as the surprised fans cheered and Pavlik jumped to his feet raising his glove in victory. Ray Boom Boom m
Pavlik thanked the fans after the match and stated “theres no place like home”.
