Prior to getting the shot against Pavlik, you had that very tough, disputed loss against Paul Williams. First of all, do you still feel you won that Williams fight? Secondly, it’s not unheard of, but very rare to get a title opportunity coming off a loss, for which you can probably thank this guy sitting next to you (interpreter, advisor: Sampson Lewkowicz).
Sincerely, I believe I didn’t win that fight. I had the sensation that I should have done more to win, and I didn’t. (Lewkowicz exclaims to Martinez’ admission, “Even I am in shock!”) But I appreciate the great work by my advisor to get me the shot, and now justice has been done. It would be very interesting if you asked the same question to Paul Williams and see if he answers it sincerely. Maybe he feels the same way. That night both of us received a lot of punishment. Both of feel like we lost something in the ring, but we still gained something too.
