He would like to fight next summer at Stambaugh Stadium wearing the red and white colors of Youngstown State on his trunks and he also would like to fight at Ohio Stadium in Columbus wearing the Buckeyes' scarlet and gray.

"My next fight probably will be out of town in Atlantic City or New York, but then next summer I want to fight back in Youngstown. If I'm going to do it [defend my title], then I'm going to do it back in Youngstown.

I'd love to see it. What a great story.

Great bit in there about the GM plant shutting down the assembly line for the fight.

Also ... Pavlik talking about moving up in weight class, potentially to heavyweight one day.

Saw Kelly out last night in downtown...hes freakin awesome.

Had the whole crew with him so not many people were getting close. Id love to see a title fight in Ytown. This place would be amped!
