LAS VEGAS, NEV (October 16, 2008) — So you think you know who will win Saturday’s light heavyweight battle between undefeated World Middleweight Champion KELLY “The Executioner” PAVLIK and two-division world champion BERNARD “The Executioner” HOPKINS?

Wanna bet?

“The fight is at a catch-weight of 170 pounds. Pavlik is a natural middleweight coming up in class, fighting Hopkins, who the heavier weight-class favors,” said Chuck Esposito, Assistant Vice President of Race & Sports Book Operations at Caesars Palace. “Hopkins is a very unorthodox fighter, very elusive and tough to hit. This may be the toughest fight of Pavlik’s career. The early action has been on Pavlik. He has been bet up from roughly a 3 1/2 - 1 favorite to the current odds of a 5 -1 favorite.”

Remaining tickets to Pavlik vs. Hopkins, priced at $700, $500, $350, $200, $100 and $75, can be purchased at the Boardwalk Hall box office, by calling Ticketmaster (800) 736-1420 or online at www.Ticketmaster.com.
