Hill City boxer looks to gain national attention tonight on ESPN2
Lynchburg, Va. -
While the entire boxing world awaits Saturday night’s showdown between Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley, a boxer from the Hill City looks to put himself on the map tonight not far down the road.
Scott “Cujo” Sigmon, who trains out of the The Hurt Factory, in Lynchburg, enters the ring against Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Friday night.
Cujo will gain national attention with a win Friday night
In what is said to be the biggest fight of his professional career, the Bedford native, enters the contest with an overall record of 22 – 3 having won six fights in a row and 14 of his last 15.
The one time World Champion, Pavlik, is currently the #2 boxer in the Super Middleweight Division. After losing his title in April 2010 to Sergio Martinez, the Ohio native was set to face off against Brian Vera as the co-main event in the Manny Pacquiao / Antonio Margarito fight later that year.
The Ghost, acting in true form, withdrew from the fight due to a rib injury before enrolling in an alcohol rehabilitation program some odd weeks later.
Pavlik is said to be the overwhelming favorite Friday evening although he has lost two of his last six fights. Since returning to the ring, he has defeated Alfonso Lopez and Aaron Jaco with ease, and looks to make Cujo his next victim on his so called “tune-up tour”.

He has a three and half inch height advantage on Sigmon, but Sigmon has the youth advantage being five years younger than the 30 year old.
The fight, which is will be televised on ESPN2’s Friday Night Fights, has all the pre-bell banter that fans love and just about every person in the boxing world has already chalked up a “W” for Pavlik.
One thing that has to be mentioned is Pavlik’s corner is already planning a fight in August against Adonis Stephenson. One of the most dangerous things an athlete can do in sports is overlooking an opponent, so don’t be surprised if the Ghost gets busted.

Very good article. I certainly appreciate this site. Continue the good work!
Spot on with this write-up, I truly believe this website needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read through more, thanks for the advice!
There is nothing wrong with catch weghits when fighters try to somehow meet in the middle but pac man is a little more devious than your run of the mill catch weight, when he fought oscar it may as well have been his wife that got in that ring as it was obvious just watching oscar getting into that ring that he wasn’t quite right then the fight it’s self spoke volumes as oscar looked like an old man way out of his depth where as any real boxing fan knows that a very slightly heavier oscar would be a completly different fighter i’e more energy and more power the very two things that the catch weight robed him of. At the end of the day oscar could have said no to the terms as could cotto but lets not be naive enough to say that catch weight to manny is just a way of meeting in the middle he uses it as a formidable weapon and in doing so make fantastic fighters look average and himself invincible, Hey manny why not have some rematches at a weight that would realisticly suit your opponents and just see the difference! If you want to be a welter weight then try fighting at the correct weight with out dictating weight terms and see if you truly are a welt champ! You truly are breath taking to watch and a gifted fighter a true hall of famer but beating weight drained fighters only serves to make yourself look fantastic to mild observers of the sport, and any true fans or fighters would have to agree that trying to fight drained of weight even just by a pound or to is agony. 0
