He would win 8-4 ish imo. He wouldn't want to get tired against Pavlik though.
Can We All Agree That Martinez EMBARRASSES Kelly Pavlik?

His robotic style, the usual 1-2, would be easy work for Martinez and let's not forget, the speed will be a big difference.Comment

Martinez will probably be too slick for Pavlik, but Kelly has power and some decent skills.
The fight could go either way, but I'm leaning toward a decision win by Martinez.Comment

It's pretty freakin obvious that Martinez would be style HELL for Pavlik. Martinez had trouble with Paul because Paul OVERWHELMS with activity, but from different angles. Paul doesn't stop punching when he gets hit. He dips and dodges instead of going into a shell which Pavlik does.
Pavlik doesn't pressure the same way Paul does. He slowly inches forward with his jab jab straight right. Soon as a combination is thrown at him, he goes into a shell and stays stationary. BECAUSE Sergio is mobile, because he's so fast, I don't see how Pavlik would be able to cut off the ring, I don't see how Pavlik's lack of versatility would be able to wear Sergio down.
This has nothing to do with overrating Martinez and everything to do with style match ups. If this fight happens, Martinez would get a UD.
I think it is a fair assessment....but i have a feeling Pavlik will pull this one out...........Comment

It's all about the power. People have built Martinez to be some kind of defensive mastermind because he can move his feet. I guess it doesn't take much nowadays for a fighter to get praised for defense.Comment
