What are your thoughts? This is a very competitive matchup and I would like to see what BoxingScene thinks.
If its ok with some of you I would like to post your predictions on my blog and give a shout out to boxingscene.
Thanks
Martinez by SD...having won the majority of rounds with movement, stance nullifying Pavs jab, Sergio will still absorb some heavy right hands but imo if Pavlik isn't connecting and in his rhythm ain't there its a Martinez decision
I got Martinez by mid-fight TKO.. (rd 6-9)
Pavlik is too monotonous for Martinez..Jab-Jab-Right! all night..
Martinez has too good a chin and very underrated Power..and will be countering Pavlik all night with MEAN right hooks and lead lefts..
I'm sticking to Martinez stopping Pavlik
Martinez is going to take away Pavlik's jab with his southpaw stance and movement, and if you take away Kelly's jab it stands to reason that Kelly's right-hand goes with it. If Kelly can bang away with heavy body shots and maybe some nice left-hooks then he can win, but I don't think I've ever really seen Pavlik switch it up offensively that much. Martinez UD, surviving some late punishment.
I'm so torn on this fight.
As of right now I kind of feel like Pavlik is gonna get to him in the championship rounds and stop him.
But that can change in another hour.
i feel ya. im thinking pavlik will win a competitive decision. he is very active and I think his power will keep martinez honest.
but we know kelly can be outboxed.
easily.

as long as martinez doesn't stay and exchange like he did with williams, i think he can win this fight comfortably. i see martinez circling pavlik and never giving him a chance to sit on his punches.
martinez by decision.
