Pavlik/Martinez: Update

I don't know if he is strong enough to tie up Kelly on a consistent basis.

 

Paul's leftovers. From a fight that could have easily gone the other way, huh? Where is Paul, exactly? Talking about fighting 5'6 Pacquiao at 147?

 

It would be just like an abc org to snatch Sergio's belt out from under him.

 

i agree. i don't think he's strong enough either. i think he'll get mauled if he tries to get in close w/ the sole idea of tying up. that or pushed off and popped.

but i think that's what he'll try to do though...unlike cotto in the margo fight.

 

Hell, they were going to strip Pavik who had a legit medical reason. If he is willing to go for a title in another division I would hope they cut him some slack. I'm sure as long as he pays his fee.......:-(

 

Damned. Silence on this fight from the folks that count..... :think.....

 

To be fair, I think Martinez holds up to right hands very well (even if he's like a Rock Em Sock Em Robot) so a knock out while possible, is somewhat unlikely in my eyes.

The right hand will play a key role in Pavlik taking this fight though although it'll be the jab that determines how long it takes him to pull away.

 

This is a very intriguing fight...unfortunately for Kelly, I think Sergio is going to be better prepared for his second fight at 160. He understands his limitations at 160 and will be prepared at this weight when he meets Kelly.

It will be interesting to see how Martinez reacts to the pressure Kelly will put on him...also, it will be interesting to see how Kelly reacts to Sergio's clean counterpunching.

Very intriguing fight for both fighters.

 

Martinez is going to win this fight.

Pavlik to too slow and although he maybe a pressure fighter, he doesn't push the action fast enough to wear Martinez down. I never bet on the big punch landing, so in the absence of a puncher's chance to win Martinez will certainly outpoint Pavlik.

 

Pavlik Ko's Martinez in the 7th.

 

I can respect that!!
