    I didn't say Martinez was throwing shots like a Mexican Flyweight but he was peppering Pavlik with 2 and 3 punch combos for the majority of the match he outworked him for the first 4 and last 4 rounds and did better in the middle rounds that most wanted to credit him for. His speed and lateral movement was the most important factor here.

    And yes Lara won't throw any punches against GGG, he has far more to fear from what's coming back at him from GGG than he does Canelo. And you're right fights aren't the same, GGG will successfully cut off the ring and get him out of there quicker than slow footed plodding Angulo.
