Martinez: I let Pavlik win some pity rounds

It worked really well, cos Pavlik didnt know what hit him in the 9th, i've never seen anything like that in terms of momentum shift in a long time.

 

edit

 

I agree.

 

He sure made Pavlik look like Frankenstien.

All he needed was some green paint.

 

It sounds to me like Sergio's people watched the Hopkins-Pavlik fight, specifically Round 12. Hops saved his energy and turned it on Kelly in the 12th. Kelly looked like a fish out of water. Sergio did it his way, of course, and turned it on earlier than that.

I will never overrate Maravilla, but I will never discredit what he did either.

 

Like TommyV, I also agree.

 

I believe he did this because in the 9th round you could see he was being more aggressive and was throwing 3 and 4 punches at a time!!

 

Thats bull****, the knockdown stopped his momentum and Pavlick started figuring out what he was doing, he started timing him,he's lucky he found a way to step it up,or he was on his way to getting ko'd,he's off balance a lot,if Pavlick knocked him down imagine what a quicker more skilled fighter could do to him.

 

i actually believe he did.

think about it he was having easy 4 rounds and then he goes slow and loses his head movement in the middle and then suddenly in the 9th he just comes back whooping pavliks ass like never before.

 

the only thing lucky was pavlik not getting knocked out

 

As much as he hit Pavlik,he should have knocked him out,he just didnt have the power to do it or the technique,he threw a lot of slapping type punches.

 

So Martinez claims he allowed Pavlik to land between 38% and 45% of his punches for five consecutive rounds because he felt sorry form him. Ya -- that makes sense.

 

lol.
