Ringside stars: Several big-time athletes with Ohio ties are expected to be ringside for next week?s bout, including Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, the longtime coach at Youngstown State, and Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who graduated from Cardinal Mooney with Kelly Pavlik?s trainer, Jack Loew. Others expected to attend are Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn (a Columbus native who played collegiately at Notre Dame), Baltimore Ravens quarterback Troy Smith (a Cleveland native who won the Heisman Trophy at Ohio State), Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk (a Dayton native who played at Ohio State) and ESPN analyst Kirk Hebrstreit (who played quarterback at Ohio State in the 1990s) and former lightweight boxing champion Vinny Pazienza. The Feb. 21 bout will be part of a two-site double feature on pay-per-view, with Miguel Cotto fighting Michael Jennings for the vacant WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden and Pavlik fighting Marco Antonio Rubio for the WBC and WBO middleweight titles at the Chevy Centre. ?I?m sure there will be celebrities at the Garden,? said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. ?But nobody is going to beat the football team that we?re going to put together with the fans in Youngstown. It sounds like you?ve got a lot of All-Stars that are gonna be in attendance.?

Didn't he have a teammate that did some boxing? I seem to remember that being mentioned briefly during one of the Domer games. An interesting story like that should have received more attention.

I've been calling around without much luck--does anyone know of any Gahanna /Westerville area bars that will have the fight?

For those of you who live in the Dublin area, the BW3's there will have it on (according to an employee of the one at Morse & Cherrybottom).
