Prime Martinez vs Erislandy Lara

Which Williams fight?

Either way, I think prime Martinez by UD. Would actually be a nice fight to see, the movement of these 2 guys would be spectacular, if not an action packed fight.

 

Martinez by KO

 

Yep , this.:good

 

Martinez would outwork an overcautious Lara to a decision. Lara's defensive wizardry would be overwhelmed by a fighter who's an even bigger mover than himself. Lara might even be knocked down because Martinez always had good power. However, as always Martinez' awkward style means that he might get hit while off-balance and go down himself. Depending on the game plan, Lara might capitalize on Martinez' hands around his waist lack of defense and score frequently, but I still picture Martinez bullying Lara to the ropes and scoring more.

The funny thing about these two is that they've both had some of the hardest luck in boxing when it comes to the judges, and had several robberies go against them. Makes you wonder if their own fight wouldn't result in a maddening controversial decision.

 

I always thought the Martinez from the Dzinruzuk fight was his absolute prime. We only saw a few mins of action against Williams 2. Unless you mean 1. I like Lara but he would be outmatched here. A prime Martinez was extremely mobile and hit like a truck as well. Hand speed was blinding. Lara has never seen anything of that calibre, a 160 freak athlete with freakish speed. I would go Martinez KO.

Lara is damn good, but Martinez was a scary ass brother in his prime. Ain't many in the history at 160 that can mess with that brother. Not even GGG

 

Hype job Lara gets his glass chin cracked :deal

 

Good post here. Agreed.

 

Either Lara by UD, or Maravilla by highlight reel KO.
But as much as I like Martinez, I guess it's 60/40 in Lara's favor.

 

Wait, what?

Wrong thread bro.
