Kelly Pavlik vs. Sergio Martinez

I favor Martinez by UD.

if they're to fight, unless pavlik learned how to deal with a slick fighter, it will look like pavlik hopkins all over again....... martinez by ud.

Serg via UD. :banana:

As straight ahead as Margarito is, he has far more variety with his punches than Pavlik. "Double up that Jab Kelly!" :lol1: Again, boxing Pavlik in as a simple 1-2 puncher is a misconception that you and alot of people who don't watch his fights buy into. Maybe you have watched them even, but not closely. Pavlik's bread and butter is his 1-2 combo, but he also has a variety of other punches that he uses when the occasion calls for it. Calling him a 1-2 fighter is misleading.

Pavlik is bigger, badder Margarito minus the plaster of Paris. Pavlik by 8th round KO. :439: As straight ahead as Margarito is, he has far more variety with his punches than Pavlik. "Double up that Jab Kelly!" :lol1:

2010 is Pavlik's year! you needed Bernard Hopkin's dirty boxing to beat this guy...and Sergio doesn't have it. :439:

Pavlik has a better shot against P-Will. Martinez moves real well. However if pavlik lands body shots like he did in his last fight He'd most likely slow him down and then he could start landing upstairs the question would have to be how well Sergio's chin would hold up. He's never seen anybody with true middleweight power before. 50/50 fight, But I'll pick my boy Pavlik ud.

Martinez UD...

Pavlik is bigger, badder Margarito minus the plaster of Paris. Pavlik by 8th round KO. :439:

Unless he gets caught... This is my hope: Martinez'll get cocky and forget that no matter how bad it gets, KP never gives up and if he wobbles him, it's lights out. Just like that... Won't take too much carelessness. Martinez ain't B-Hop, after all... If Kelly can land one combo asshole and elbows after round 6 or 7, Sergio goes to sleep... Maybe my head should say Pavlik...:thinking: Martinez ain't Hopkins and he's never delt w/power like Kelly's...:thinking: ....wanna' bet? Yep, I will PM you.

Sergio will counter Pavlik all night. Pavlik can't keep up the same pace and punches P Will did against Sergio. Pavlik foot movement is not good, he's a come forward fighter. Serg will make it look easy. Unless he gets caught... This is my hope: Martinez'll get cocky and forget that no matter how bad it gets, KP never gives up and if he wobbles him, it's lights out.

Let's see which one you pick. It's a simple matchup: Slick Boxer vs. Powerful Puncher. I honestly thing this will be Pavlik's toughest fight at 160, and it will be a tougher fight for him than the Williams fight would've been. He could very well lose this fight vs. a very game Martinez. I think Kelly can KO him, because Kelly can KO anyone at 160, but it will be a tall order. This is the first fight I think Kelly could lose at middleweight. If he is the same fighter he was vs. Taylor, he wins. If he is really hampered by the hand problems, he will lose. What's your pick? You said it all. My heart says Kelly. My head says Sergio.

Pavlik by decision or late knockout.

Pavlik might as well wrap up that 1-2 of his in brown packaging, put a stamp on it and send it UPS cos thats what it would look like to Sergio. Pavlik being called a 1-2 puncher is wrong. He has hooks, uppercuts and body shots to go along with his 1-2 punch.

Martinez will out box Pavlik to a UD.

Yes, but the main attribute when moving from 154 - 160 surely is power. Pavlik might not be very fast but he uses his left jab as good as anyone in boxing.

Skill, speed, footwork, defence. All things that Pavlik doesnt have. Yes, but the main attribute when moving from 154 - 160 surely is power. Pavlik might not be very fast but he uses his left jab as good as anyone in boxing.
