Williams not the slickest fighter out there, but he is a beast and old school type of fighter. Martinez keeps improving and up there in age, but fights like a 25 yrs old instead of 35yrs old. Williams does great in rematches and Martinez had a short camp before he fought Williams. I find it hard for it to equal the first one which had alot of toe to toe action. I think they will respect each other more in the rematch, but it will still be good. I just hope both still have some fighting left and don't ruin each other. Would still love for both to be part of the Pacquiao-Mayweather equation. I really wished both started calling Floyd and Manny out and meet at 154.
Depends. Williams just looked awful in his gift win over Kermit Cintron and the Pavlik fight might've taken out a lot of Martinez who's coming down from a surprisingly high weight. Despite Williams being a volume puncher and despite Martinez is capable of throwing volume, their awesome fight was rather an exception than the rule looking at their career. After all, they were fighting each other on short notice with limited sparring and let it all play out 'natural' in the ring, they were also on the same level more or less, and southpaw meeteings are always unpredictable. It all came together beutifully. With the full camp however I expect both being more strategic, prepare for the right shots and defensive moves. Plus don't forget Martinez is an adaptive counterpuncher and Williams is not really multi-dimensional, so their 2nd meeting should NOT pick up where they left the 1st off. Also, it's unlikely that their physical and mental condition will match so well again, I rather see one of them being able to dominate more, but I still expect an exciting fight, just not the same calibre. The 1st fight was someting special.
I don't know, first one was damn good but I gotta feeling second one will be more strategic and technical as rematches usually are. Hopefully it will start this way and end up another war.
I don't know. The trouble (and excellence) with this one is that every, single option is viable. Either could blow the other out at any time (early, even), either could win on points, and the draw's not impossible as well. Even so, I'm looking forward to this the most I've looked forward to any fight this year. Showpieces are over; the real boxing starts now.
