If Pavlik wins a close decision, will people cry robbery?

Martinez does have to stop Pavlik to beat him I think though. Look at all these guys that HBO are interested in matching up with Pavlik. Bute (who is fighting on the undercard tonight, so there you go), Williams potentially, Sturm, Winky Wright (I don't know how interested HBO is in him though, but still mentioned nontheless), and even Margarito's name has been thrown out for Pavlik by Pavlik's trainer. Martinez is viewed as the opponent in this one even though a lot of smart people know he'll at least give Pavlik a tough fight.

I've studied 5 fights from both fighters and I've come away with more than a few things, but mainly Martinez is all wrong for Hopkins.
The only worry for Martinez is getting worn down from smashing Pavlik's head in constantly.
Martinez has all the tools to keep the tempo down whenever Pavlik feels brave. He can win this easy, as easy as Hopkins did if he really wanted to, but he hasn't really shown the stink it out mentality that he needs to for that.
