Martinez/Pavlik is the 2nd best fight scheduled this year

I got pavlik by KO. This is do or die for kelly though on the reals. If he doesn't win this fight and get his confidence/swagger back he may never be champ again. I'm pulling for him. I remember how loved he was on this board pre-hopkins. I want to see him succeed like that again. He still gets love from me :D.

It's somewhere around there already scheduled. Along with Cloud-Johnson and Mayweather-Mosley.

martinez is slick, how will pavlik deal with that? too early for me to call.

Pavlik knocks him out. Sergio gets tired late and he never keeps his hands up. That is not a good recipe for him

i have no idea what's going to happen in this fight. All I know is that Martinez had a great night against Williams, and Kelly is in for a long night if he doesn't sit outside and use his jab. That said, Kelly is usually pretty smart about using his jab and straight right on the outside against smaller guys. He's done it 36 out of 36 nights in the ring against guys at 160 lbs. And he's KO'd 32 of them. While Martinez is good, don't forget he will be the smaller man, and Pavlik can play the role of bully better than P-Will. I picked Kelly by KO, Martinez fights with his lead hand down and that might have worked with Paul but I don't see it being too smart against a KO machine like Kelly. But while I think that a KO of Sergio is most likely, I will not be surprised if Martinez pulls off a UD, and only a little more surprised if he can pull of the knockout. Pavlik UD is also a possibility if he uses his height. This is a tough one to predict.

Warrr Pavlik! It's going to be a tough one, but I hope my boy Pavlik can catch him and knock him out.

I don't think it will be nearly as entertaining as williams vs. martinez. Martinez will just win even more clearly.

I think it won't look that dissimilar to Martinez's fight with P-Will, except Pavlik is a little more straight forward and easy to neutralise, so I reckon Martinez scrapes a decision this time. Although I may be underestimating the difference in strength between Williams and Pavlik.

will be a great fight i agree martinez has the superior skills but i feel pavlik could bully him and stop him late,i know i may be alone in thinking that though
