Martinez would struggle against true boxers & pressure fighters who prefer the inside

Martinez is extremely elusive but he isn't as tricky as he seems to be. Due to the fact that he fights with his hands literally by his waist and he fights his opponents from a distance while always moving. His opponents are tempted head hunt the entire fight instead of going to his body or waiting to close the distance. His head is such a small target while moving all it does is leave you totally off balance and open for a counter punch which is basically what martinez does for the entire fight.

Paul williams did a great job of fighting from the correct distance in the middle of his fight vs martinez & somewhat towards the end. When ever Martinez is forced to lead punch he usually gets tagged pretty easily. If not tagged it leaves him in a position that he is not accustomed to and he is on a level playing field at that point.

He is also accessible when on the ropes as the target stops moving and the target grows since you are aiming at more than just this head. He is pretty solid on the inside as well but inside fighting is not his forte, he is solid in there but he can be beaten inside as well.

Martinez is a good fighter but is beatable

 

thats exactly why he does it.... he runs around with his hands down so you head hunt.... you can't head hunt from across the ring... all that will do is leave you wide open for counters and off balance...

you gotta fight that dude from middle range or inside.... middle range is best tho

 

I wonder who would be the gambling favorite... pw or sm


if cory spinks is in any type of shape that may be interesting.... I still can't believe sm's fight night weigh was 168
