Nobody needs to tell me ****, I watched the fight. I thought Martinez beat him. PW got dropped, didn't look too great, and the majority of the people scored the fight for Martinez. That's what you call passing the test?
Sounds good! But you can't compare Pavlik's chin with Margarito's chin!!! Besides being dropped by Shane and being stunned by Santos there is nothing in recent history that showed Margo being hurt!!! In my honest opinion I think Margarito has a way better chin than Pavlik!!!
I guess!! I though it was a draw! You mind telling me who/where exactly are the "majority of the people"?:huh I hope this wasn't one of those independent surveys on ESB that gave you that solution!! Oh yea! They also forget to tell you that a "W" in boxing means passing!!!:hi:
I thought it meant "Withdraw", in PW's case. As in withdraw from a rematch with SM, and a possible fight with Pavlik.
That fight means sh!t. Margarito, is a cheater, and that's the only way he could be Cotto. Sergio's speed will be the difference in this fight.
How much good does speed do a fighter who is dog tired, and backs up in straight lines with his hands down?
Martinez will not get KO'd even if he tires. Pavlik takes a 12 round MD akin but not entirely similar to Taylor/Pavlik II.
So you think a junior middleweight with less than stellar defense will be the first fighter to go 12 rounds with Pavlik at 160? Can't really see it myself. I can see him doing 10 rounds, which would be KP's longest fight at 160, but not 12 rounds.
alllriiiiiiiight!!! :bbb i really like both these guys though. i'm not too worried about pavlik as there's very little chance of martinez really hurting him, but i don't really want to see martinez get ktfo. it's a toss up in my eyes, but i'm leaning towards pavlik by late tko.
i haven't seen pavlik hurt except for when he took those insane bombs from taylor flush to the chin with his hands down. margarito's got a better chin, but pavlik's got a damn solid one as well.
