The Boxing Bulletin will be providing round by round updates of tonight's Top Rank PPV main-event between Kelly Pavlik and Miguel Espino.
We're eating the $40 price tag on this one... so you won't have to. The opening bout on the Youngstown's portion of the card between Martirosyan and Lee is in the books, and the show will be heading to Mexico for the next two fights shortly. We will update the results of those fights, but round by round coverage will only be for the main-event.

After almost a 10 month absence from the ring, middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik returns to action tomorrow night… and nobody appears to be all that enthused.
The rightful apathy for the Top Rank PPV is hardly a big surprise. Plain and simple – the main event is a mismatch.
Pavlik's opponent, former Contender contestant Miguel Espino, has obviously been chosen because he's extremely unlikely to offer a strong challenge. It's somewhat understandable that Pavlik is getting a soft touch given his recent health issues and inactivity, but as a fan...how do you get excited about a fight like that? Unless you're a huge Kelly Pavlik supporter, it's not possible.
