The weigh-in was properly uneventful
Kelly weighed in at 159 lbs.
Rubio was a perfect 160
Youngstown is electric. The town is jumping with excitement. There are fight posters everywhere. Every hotel employee is wearing a Kelly Pavlik T-shirt. At the weigh-in there was a line-up of wheel chairs with children from Kelly's favorite charity. Last night on the news they showed kids in grammar schools making Kelly Pavlik posters.
The boo's for Rubio quickly turned to applause at the press conference -- but there's no question. This is Pavlik, Ohio -- 1000%.

UPDATE:By now, everyone knows it was Pavlik's night. What you may not know, given HBO's 24/7 coverage, is what a warm and friendly town Youngstown, Ohio can be. What a treat!
