ATLANTIC CITY N.J. — Kelly Pavlik entered the arena set to take on Jermain Taylor for the middleweight championship at 11:28 p.m. with much excitement from the estimated 5,000 fans who traveled from Youngstown to see the title bout and the more than 10,000 in the arena.
Banners, signs and cheers awaited the Youngstown fighter entered the ring to the sounds of edgy sounds and wearing Ohio State colored hooded Pavlik jacket and shorts.
Jermain Taylor followed shortly with boos just as loud as the cheers for Pavlik.
