    I like the fight. Dzinziruk is the best fighter art 154 and Martinez isn't a full fledged middleweight. I don't believe the weight will be an issue.

    Martinez is not a high quantity punch output fighter. He tends to fight to the activity level of his opponents. He could very well be outworked by a good jab.

    Pavlik and his strong jab did well enough against Martinez to be even after 8 rounds once he adjusted to Martinez speed and counter punching. And that was with a pavlik 10 days out of rehab. Of course dzinziruk is a southpaw which creates a different dynamic than pavlik.

    I think it comes down to dzinziruks speed and how well he can adjust to Martinez speed and counter punching.

    While u have to give the edge to Martinez on eexperience I personally believe its an even fight. And given the fact that Martinez is a 5 to 1 favorite I will be betting decently on dzinziruk.
