Pavlik to Return, Face Espino on Dec. 19
  1. It's good for everybody, especially for him, to get a good fight under his belt on Dec. 19 ... Hopefully, if he's successful in defending his title he can go into 2010 with a clean slate.

  2. I think it's imperative for his career. Activity is important. You never like to see a young guy not fighting regularly when he's in his prime. This year has been a curse of little things that happened

  3. He wanted to fight before the end of the year, and we had a Latin Fury card on in Mexico ... So we decided that we would use the two best fights on that card, and put them with Pavlik against Espino from Youngstown.
