Burners thoughts on the Martinez fight.......and Pavlik.

[Pugilistic™]

Martinez and Pavlik fight nothing alike.

Martinez is a slick counter puncher with fast hands, crafty footwork and good power.

Pavlik is a 1-2 pressure fighter with poor footwork and slow handspeed.

When Williams has faced pressure fighters ( Margarito and Wright), He has won clearly.

Pavlik has way better power than both those guys though, so Williams would have to watch out for that.

That's the only thing I'm saying. Pavlik could get outworked for 11 rounds, 2 minutes and 59 seconds, then land a bomb and knock P. Will out. Plus Pavlik is a tough dude, I doubt it'll be an easy fight for P. Will, despite how bad Pavlik's defense is, Paul's not exactly that hard to hit, either.

Williams vs. Martinez...EASILY the fight of the year....

Martinez is a slick mutha****a...............period...hes nice wit it.

I had Paul wining by one round.....just one..

When Sergio moved and boxed and shot that left...Paul was in trouble...when Sergio wanted to play big balls and slug with Paul..he payed dearly.

Sergio also wasted alot of energy in the early rounds..he shot his load....as evidence to him dropping to his knees in exhaustion...Paul looked like he couldve went 3 more rounds...

It was close as hell though.....both men dropped..it was a war..I loved it.

119-110..IS A DISGRACE.

BUT this fight was not a robbery...there are people who can make a case for either fighter......

I think Paul won because he was busier...Sergio was gassed and said after the fight he took rounds off to save himself for later and it cost him.

Props to the punisher for even fighting this guy...his style is all wrong for him.

All that ****ing moving and dodging..we might not see Paul fight a slick lefty again...

and on Pavlik....

LOOK....

Pavlik is not fast...slick or crafty..or left handed...

Sergio has head movement..foot speed..and very fast hands .....I never seen a guy at 160 that ****ing fast..seriously.

PAVLIK...is slow and lumbering and cant move like Sergio..kinda like how winky couldnt...

When sergio was getting tired and was NOT MOVING..Paul was tagging him....thats what Pavlik will do most of the fight..be right in Pauls face.

Paul beats the **** out of Pavlik......

Those are my thoughts.

They both belong in the P4P rankings....

OH YEAH TO THE BOARDS:::

DONT EVER SAY PAUL HASNT FOUGHT ANYBODY EVER AGAIN...BECAUSE MARTINEZ IS A MONSTER.

Was a great great fight and both had cases for winning so maybe the draw would have been the appropriate result. Just because one corrupt judge had a ridiculous score doesn't mean it was a robbery though. I'd love to see a rematch in the future either for Sergio's 154 title or once Williams wins a title at 160, which I still think he will as he has to be one of the top 3 Middleweights in the world.

Martinez held his own when he traded with Paul. I'd pick him in a rematch. Paul sparring with Quintana wasn't as useful as we thought it would be.

damn i did'nt know that
