Pavlik mobbed by media on the way to locker room

After Pavlik speaks with ESPN at the broadcast desk he begins to make his way to the locker room.  In the midst of a fight between David Rodela and Terrence Crawford the press row jumped up and mobbed Pavlik.  His team ushered him away to the locker room and then to do a post fight presser later.

Pavlik speaks to ESPN commentators after the fight

All judges score the 7 round fight a shut out, with it being stopped between the 7th and the 8th.  One judge had two rounds at 10 to 8, which is rare when there is not a knockdown.  The lopsided boxing acumen and pedigree exhibited itself in a brutal beating. Sigmon's blood saturated his white boxing trunks and covered his face and body. Cuts were apparent.

Pavlik Weigh-In yesterday, Fight time is in an hour

Scott Sigmon talked  a lot in the weeks leading up to the fight but come weigh-in on June 7th he's was mild mannered and respectful.  Regardless, yesterday's weigh-in has no bearing, tonight there's a fight, and it's about to go down in an hour.
