Martinez vs Pavlik - Forgone Conclusion?

My thoughts? You could have just posted to an ongoing thread. That and kiss your money good bye. :yep

 

Martinez put in a great performance against a guy who would not last 5 rounds with Pavlik. Sergio's jab sucks, he telegraphs his two best punches from 3 feet away, he can't clinch, his defense relies on speed and athleticism so it goes to **** after 5-6 rounds, he rushes in face first, circles the wrong way repeatedly, et. et.

No fighter ever saw the 10th round against Pavlik at 160. Do the math, and save your money.

 

Nothing is a forgone conclusion in ths fight. Nobodies knows how Martinez will deal with Pavlik's pressure and power. And No one knows how Pavlik will deal with Martinez's speed and movement.

 

Martinez will school him!

 

I like this fight. You can never count out someone like Pavlik. He's a jerky dorky looking fighter, but he hits pretty hard.

 

My mistake the Pavlik nuthuggers have crystal balls and so do his haters.:roll:

 

I would be betting with you, but I lost all my money ****in with Joshua Goddamn Clottey.









































































Just kidding... I'm dropping 5 yards on Maravilla!:yep

 

Who coulda guessed Hermit and Boo would be the first 2 replies... those guys need to get a job and stop searching "kelly pavlik" in ESBs search function every minute of every day.

 

Bet your house on Sergio. Then use the computer at the library to tell us how you feel about being homeless.

 

Word!

 

Damned. How much do you get in those welfare checks? :huh

 

STFU ***** you do the same with Williams

 

Martinez-Williams is a pretty bad barometer to use for this particular fight considering Pavlik fights nothing like Williams.

Personally, I think Sergio gets knocked out. I can see his movement, southpaw stance, and somewhat awkward style giving Pavlik problems, especially in the early rounds. But at some point, Pavlik is going to touch him...and when he does, I don't think Sergio is going to be able to absorb the power. He may have been able to mix it up with Williams and get away with it, but Pavlik's power is on a different level.

My pick is Pavlik by mid round KO, in a fight where he's down on the cards.
