Williams is way too open to even think about fighting a guy like pavlik. He will get ko'd fast! Power plus height plus straight punches plus a reach! Pavlik will have Williams head flying threw the air!
If Pavlik lands punches and I think he would he KO's Williams whe is too easily hit. His biggest problem would likely be that Pavlik is a guy of his stature and reach, you take that advantage away he is in a strange place against a guy who hits harder than anyone you have faced, I'll take Pavlik in that fight.
Paul's chin isn't what I thought it would be , but Martinez' style and attributes are the opposite of Pavlik.
Martinez is fast, Pavlik isn't; Martinez can box, Pavlik can't; Martinez is a southpaw, Pavlik isn't, etc.
Still a tossup matchup IMO.
if hops didn't ruin pavlik, pavlik should be able to KO pwill. pavlik can match pwill for activity, height and reach, but pavlik got the power.
I like pwill, but pavlik is a dangerous fight.
I think Williams will get hurt from Pavlik. Keep in mind, Williams isn't a big puncher nor is he really fast more than being a volume puncher. If someone like Martinez who's slick can make Williams come and fight, Pavlik can too. Styles do make fights, but Pavlik's style to me may cause Williams some problems if he's going to be that open to being hit.
Nonetheless, what an amazing fight. I had Martinerz winning by 2 rounds, but man...wtf @ 119-110. C'mon...
Yeah ok.. Styles make fights and Pavlik cant fight going back wards and isnt a counterpuncher like Martinez. Pavlik has BEEN ducking Williams. and he still will.
