dirrell and mayweather should learn from this man. martinez gave a great performance tonight and did more than what i expected him to. i knew he'd run around and just pick pavlik apart but what i didn't expect was a full on attack in the end. just when i thought martinez ran out of gas to run, he comes out swinging in the 9th round.
is there a maravilla hype train? i'd happily come aboard :D
What the **** is wrong with you guys? lol
Martinez could literally pick Paulie up and eat him like a cracker.
That's why boxing is separated by weight classes.
LOL, I think he was speaking hypothetically as if to compare their skill level and not what would happen if they fought. I'd take Martinez in 3 rds
This is true. I still have trouble equating victories when the participants in either fight just aren't on the class level of the other. Especially when it comes to just pure boxing in a way.
Pavlik is the epitome of a club fighter.
He relies on his attrition, power and ability to remain dangerous because of those facets......and really doesn't have the required athleticism in order to be a pugilist and be successful at the top level.
Sure he was a Champ but as close to Paper champ as there would be.
Compare him to a fighter who has ALL the tools (IE Bernard Hopkins)
I couldn't agree more.. i never really supported pavlik or fell for the hype, i never saw anything more than a jab and a cross. He's never thrown, or attempted, a uppercut or hook (to my knowledge), and hardly ever goes to the body. He got famous off 2 victories against men who stood still long enough to allow him to actually get some work in, and they also have the bad habit of always dropping their left hand so that they can be hit by....whaddya know? the only punches kelly knows. 1-2 (miranda, taylor).
In terms of skill martinez is in an entirely different league but even then, it's definitely a feat to come up and dethrone the king like that considering the size disparity. But i think everyone who actually knows a thing or two about how styles psychologically effect fighters knew that not only does Kelly have the absolute wrong arsenal to contend against lateral movers, but he also seems to break down upstairs whenever things aren't going his way.
We can shrug the victory off and say " the guy who SHOULD have won, won " but, unfortunately, that's not how it works.
Hopkins wasnt coming up in weight, 4 inches shorter, and 11lbs lighter

Martinez adapted to Pavlik's jabs and came out of the corner in the 9th round owning it. The blows Martinez connected with in the 8th and 9th round is what did Pavlik in. I'll watch that rematch.

This proves that you know absolutely nothing about boxing and should be watching MMA or professional wrestling exclusively. Martinez fought a brilliant fight. A great fighter can cut off the ring or counter effectively and beat a great boxer. Pavlik couldn't do that because Martinez is better skilled. He wasn't on a "bicycle" as you put it. He threw more punches and landed more punches. How the hell is a fighter who fights like that considered to be on a "bicycle".
What Dirrell did against Froch is no comparison because Froch clearly outboxed and outpunched Dirrell in that fight. In my estimation, Froch won 8-4 rounds and was both a better boxer and puncher in that fight. I won't waste my time talking about Mayweather because it would be the equivalent of Einstein explaining physics to a first grader.
did you watch tonight's fight or the williams fight? martinez hops on his bicycle but he also mixes it up with combinations and even brawls at times. he's far from a malignaggi.

Slightly after the Williams fight. Not at all now. I don't root for Malignaggies of the world. Theres a difference from boxing then being on your bicycle the whole fight.
Floyd and Dirrell dont stay on the Bicycle all fight long. They box. Big difference.

WAR MARTINEZ, he is the man. He is one of the most talented boxersI have seen, he is very good.

Abraham fought in a shell all night, dirrel could get off.
Froch was all over Dirrell all night, forced him to engage.
Other than those 2.. when has dirrel "boxed"?
Go ahead and rewatch that dirrel/stevens , tell me that's better than martinez.. i dare you.
Dumb ass
Dirrell is far more exciting. He shows power in his shots, and more versatile.
I dont see anything exciting about running around, and never staying in range, then pitty patting your way to a decision.
LOL what are you smoking. The only fight were he was half decent was against Abraham and he avoided getting KTFO with his little act.
Dirrell hugs, run and rolls all over the floor. Sergio doesn't run he punches and moves he gets in range unloads and mover out of range. Direll runs laps around the ring a couple of times throws one punch, hugs and and when the referee pulls him off the othe fighter he rolls all over the floor.
the question is why: answer is very simple: because martinez throws combinations nonstop. all he throws is combinations. Floyd throws 1 punch at a time.
