Less Than 24 Hours Before Sergio Martinez Leaves The Ring On a Stretcher.

something interesting came out of the guzman-funeka commentary the other day. someone stated that effecient, professional fighters like funeka can have trouble ad******g and hitting the gas and changing it up against flashier, more eye catching fighters like guzman. i think funeka is a smaller, poor man's pavlik in some ways. both in attitude and style. martinez, while no guzman, is a bit flashy and certainly unorthodoz at time. if sergio is scoring with eye catching blows and stealing rounds, how do you think pavlik will adjust? do you think he'll have trouble changing from his business as usual, workmanlike style?

btw: why the **** is ****** being edited??

 

I seem to think so. Martinez took the wiliams fight on short notice, i hope hes training his heart out. Martinez by ud

 

makes sense boo:good the double jab, right isn't going to work this time

 

You should change the title to 'Less than two weeks until Pavlik steps in the ring with another smaller, hand-picked opponent with many stylistic disadvantages, instead of facing one of the top contenders in his own weight class or stepping up to '68 and getting his arse handed to him by his daddy Lucian Bute'

 

TS is a douchebag.

As much as I hate Pavlik, I would never want to see him carried out on a stretcher.

 

Oh cmon Tommy, Martinez a "hand-picked opponent"?

 

definitely agree. there will be times but sergio is a damn southpaw and an awkward one at that. the 1-2 will be ineffective for the part, especially with his movement. pavlik will have to set traps and use a more varied attack this time. the straight right will obviously be his best weapon but he'll need to do more to set it up this time. i see it being a brilliant fight and pavlik will have to dig deep at times, but that will make the win sweeter

 

Yeah, that's true. If I remember right, Pavlik said he may stop Hopkins "quickly", so you may be on to something!

...that or Pavlik just had the confidence beaten out of him by an old man? Maybe that's why he is being humble? On the other hand, Martinez has reason to be confident, after taking a guy Pavlik seemingly avoided, to the limit, despite poor preparation. Why wouldn't Martinez be confident?

 

You're gonna be in for a surprise come fight night. Pavlik will have huge problems with the movement, speed, and slickness of Martinez. Pavlik might be 3 inches taller, but Martinez actually has a 1 inch reach advantage. The size won't be a big factor.

Pavlik's power would be a problem for Martinez if he could land consistently, but he won't be able to.

Martinez UD.

 

You're as stupid as the OP! Anyone who condones stretcher talk must be a *****!

 

This guy is classless. Assuming Pavlik ever fights a guy like Bute, Kessler, Abraham or Froch, he will get absolutely battered. I hope nothing happens to Pavlik, but if he was carried out on a stretcher, something tells me this fanboy won't be trivializing it.
