Pavlik vs Martinez April 17th

Pavlik is too big for Martinez.

pavlik by KO

Im one of the few to say Pavlik UD. It wont be easy because of the style of Martinez and the fact he is a lefty. But I think Pavlik will grind out a close UD by winning a lot of late rounds. Around the 11th or so he might get a knockdown, but I doubt a TKO. As a Pavlik fan I think the Martinez fight is much harder on him then a Williams one.

kelllyyyy the ghost paaavvliiikkk

Will be a great fight, I don't care who wins. I just want both of them to fight their guts out!!

i see pavlik KO in 7th round His defence is simply relying on athletisim and I cant see that working for to long before he gets caught

I cant see this going ten rounds i see pavlik KO in 7th round

You wanna bet (points), put money where your mouth is? Yeah, why not? How much?

yes but williams knocked him down, he wont be able to get up when pavlik lands that right hand Are you serious? Have you seen Williams vs Martinez?

Martinez. Both guys are a level above the overrtaed Paul Williams. Martinez-Williams was very close, could have gone either way, i wouldnt say that martinez is on another level to williams though. I think that pavliks power will be the key in this fight,pavlik by KO

I feel the old boxing credo “styles make fights” applies here. I think fighters like Martinez will always give Pavlik trouble with their cleverness, improvisation, and shiftiness. I just think Martinez is catching Pavlik at the right time here,Martinez is far more battle-tempered lately and Pavlik’s career seems to be headed in the wrong direction. He could conceivably turn it around, but the signs are troubling(a series of fights against inferior competition, a rumored battle with the bottle, pullouts, and the lopsided loss to Hopkins.)Martinez will face danger throughout the fight,but I feel he will over come it.

On the outside he throws straight punches. On the inside he throws uppercuts and left hooks and goes to the body. I don't know why people go on and on about Pavlik just being a one two boxer either.

Williams,Cintron,Margarito all hit Martinez a lot. Martinez does not do a great job not getting hit. And if Margarito can knock him out Pavlik can knock him out. Plus Pavlik knocks people out to the body and goes to the body a lot. That might slow Martinez down. great point about the body shots, people underestimate pavlik, they just say hes 1 2 fighter whos one dimensional. Pavlik will KO martinez

Taylor was nowhere near as slick as Martinez. His defence was poor. Fights are won and lost on more than just power. Martinez was able to slip most of Paul Williams punches and he throws 1000 per fight with speed from all angles. I dont see him getting tagged by Pavliks slow ass 1-2 You wanna bet (points), put money where your mouth is?

Pavlik beat Taylor, taylor was a slcik boxer when they fought both fights. Martinez has lack of power, espesically at 160lbs, pavliks power will break martinez down.
