The determining factor of this fight in my opinion is going to be Pavliks jab. Sergio will be keeping his distance and rightfully so, Pavlik is going to have his jab in Sergios face all night with the occasional straight right and left body shot. I would not be surprised if this fight ends with a Pavlik stoppage via body shot. Sergio is not infighting with the bigger and stronger fighter. Other then speed, Sergio is at a disadvantage against Kelly. Much props to martinez for taking this fight. I really wish Pavlik fights Sturm next and hands him a nice highlight reel knockout. This fight is going to be easier for Pavlik then it looks.
Paul Williams touched Martinez enough to make me think Pavlik will get his hands on him. Pavlik has big power, Martinez went down against Williams. this is how Pavlik wins.
That KD was purely balance. I'd love to think otherwise for the sake of this fight, but it was what it was. But Kelly has power like Martinez has never faced before and I'm pretty sure he will be going down. I see I take too long to compose my messages. Beat to the answer twice while I tapped.....
Pavlik's only chance is to KO Martinez because there's no way he can outbox him over 12 unless it's another hometown cooking like williams fight.
Martinez has two advantages over Pavlik: speed and mobility. How will a guy who gives up every other advantage "outbox" one of the biggest and strongest middleweight champs in history?
Yeah, I forgot, I just remember him getting dropped getting up and getting Paul back. I went back and watched it again and you're all right. Still, Martinez got hit a lot for someone who's going against a puncher like Pavlik. Although he was a little more eager to mix it up in that fight than he will be against Pavlik.
Taylor out boxed Pavlik silly in their 1st fight(Taylor up on all score cards before KO). If Taylor had taken his time in the 2nd round to put Pavlik away there would be no KP today!!!!!(FACT) Taylor has shown he had issue with stamina and a "suspect" chin way before KP fight! In the JT vs KP 2nd fight JT had no confidence and was way to scared of getting KO'd again to put up a true effort!!! FACT: Taylor nor his world class trainer didn't give Pavlik any respect when they 1st met and that was the true reasoning behind the loss!!!
Come on Hu. Those (!!!) aren't gonna convince me. Step it up a bit. You have to throw in 10 or 12 more and that may do it. How you been man?
