No it is actually the other way around
Did Martinez bite off more then he could chew fighting Pavlik?

Martinez's movement will win him the fight. He can slow down and still beat Pavlik. Pav is too flat footed, and relies too much on the basic 1-2.Comment

If Pavlik cannot find a home for the jab, he will not find a home for the right hand.
This fight is going to be tough for him mainly because Martinez is a southpaw. Pavlik has very little experience against southpaws and when he did fight one, McKart, he had a lot of difficulty landing anything clean. Now McKart was a wiley veteran so it is no shame with Pavlik finding him difficult, but Martinez offers Speed and Mobility on top of that southpaw stance.
This is going to be a stylistic nightmare for Pavlik, even more so than the Hopkins fight. I still give Pavlik a chance in this one though as it will be at his own weight class and he will feel strong at the weight. Martinez is also more hittable than Hopkins.Comment

martinez is my pick
however sergio has a tendency to go for blood when he needs to lay back and show off his boxing gifts.
this could turn into a louis conn fight if sergio decides to trade, however if it's a smart boxing match id favor martinez all the way
the bookies have sergio as an underdog in this fight, so consider for the moment Pavlik's power which makes him a favouriteComment

pretty much same for me, but these days im more inactive than mayweather lol ill lurk in when any major fight comes up, other than that just livin man.
so i guess we're on the same page about pavlik martinez. although i gotta say, ive been watching the whole hoopla and buzz from interviews and press conferences, and i heard martinez say something i dont like.
he said he's going to ko pavlik, and i just think it's the same thing as leaving an open garbage for a racoon at night, it's guranteed to get the **** messed up if you know what i mean. dont get me wrong sergio is a strong guy, but he needs to use his slickness and forget the exchanges.
decision is where it's at for him. judging by sergio's mentality, i have to make this fight a 50/50 strictly because of the possibility of sergio going in it warrior style.Comment
