...so to be fair to Sergio let's score his fight with Cintron and talk about what kind of chances he has because if this comes off I'm having a hard time making a choice.
Forgot to put my score...117-110 for Martinez. I'm not counting that stupid point deduction and you shouldn't feel you have to either. In fact if you think it was a KO 7 you can put that as well.
This will make a good fight I think. Paul was rendered inactive too long waiting for a shot at Pavlik. I guess he should fight Martinez.
This fight makes more sense than anything else. Martinez has been chasing the self proclaimed "most feared fighter" for quite awhile. Sergio is also the real champ at 154. Williams only has an "interim" title. In addition HBO wanted Pavlik to fight Martinez. They should have no problem buying Williams/Martinez.
Martinez is a very live underdog in this fight. He is a bigger and better version of Quintana. PW better be in great shape and look sharp to get pass him. Paul's excuse for losing to Q in the first fight was his lay off. Deja Vu!!!!
Martinez has what it takes to pull it off i believe. I got la maravilla by UD. Hes been wanting the Williams fight for a while now.
I'm glad to see people are picking Martinez, cause I was thinking a Martinez UD as well but thought I might be crazy. After watching the Cintron fight again last night I can't believe that people cried robbery in the Dirrell fight, Martinez was actually robbed.
I think this is the reason Pavlik said he will be nervous as hell come December 5th. If PW loses, that's three milion bucks down the shitter!
Martinez is the nightmare for Paul. Williams ant fight on the outside. I'm big Williams fan but Martinez can win this taking his spots just like Quintana did. And Martinez is faster than Quintana plus hes got better defence. IMO this fight is more difficult for Paul than Pavlik.
For some strange reason i don't like this. Williams now have to start from cratch from preparing for an opponent with different style. Williams was in training preparing for Pavlik who isn't a slick fighter. But now if Williams face Martinez he have to start from cratch to face a different kind of fighter with different style.
