Who do you like in the Williams/Martinez rematch?

[FLY TY]

We all know he's not getting Packy, Floyd, and Shane. And Pavlik won't give him a money split he wants.

That leaves Maravilla.

That rematch MUST happen in 2010. I think Martinez finally stops getting robbed in the U.S and wins that fight in another great match.

Goosen sounds like the only obstacle.



p.s I wonder who's got tougher luck in the states....Funeka or Martinez??

williams by 1st round KO

Paul looked pretty damn good to me.

It had nothing to do with "fighting down" to Martinez level. He's just not as skilled as Martinez.

Nah... in all seriousness he sacrificed his reach too much and hunched over trying to find Martinez.

Pdub should utilize his height to full advantage and fire the jab as Martinez comes in, and let bigger shots unfold from that.

He basically gave up all his advantages in that fight and just ****** with the guy.

He did that because it was his best chance. Paul is not a boxer and won't be able to outbox the better boxer here.

Besides, even if he tries that, its in his blood to fight, not box.

He is what he is.

If Williams knows what's good for him (and best for his career,) he'll stay away from Martinez.

Its the biggest fight for him out there.

I think HBO would pay enough for it for Goosen to agree to it.

He'll do what it takes to win..

Martinez was a wake up call... I wouldn't be surprised at all if they train the man to box more and use his reach to full advantage in the rematch, mixing in a share of his old style too.

Consider how, after losing to Quintana, he adjusted and came back and won decisively.

I thought Quintana was the wake up call? Thats what Williams said after the fight.

Anyway, I don't put much stock in that rematch. 1st round knockouts are misleading.

Sometimes guys just get caught cold.

that's why i say williams by 1st round KO!

nah....martinez is damn good, but i don't really see anything he can improve upon, or do better in the rematch. he fought a great fight, and still lost.

no disrespect to sergio, but to go from training for a guy like pavlik, to start training for a COMPLETELY different style of fighter in a month or so, is pretty tough.

a rematch is a necessity, but PW wins more comfortably, as i just don't see what martinez can do better the second time around.

Nah, the biggest (and more winnable) fight for him is Pavlik. I expect to see it around the middle of next year.
