    According to HBO, Martinez will be Pavlik's first title defense

    The official site for HBO, discover full episodes of original series, movies, schedule information, exclusive video content, episode guides and more.


    What the hell are they talking about? Do title defenses not made on HBO broadcasts not count? It's not the HBO Middleweight belt, its the Middleweight belt, period. No other sport, MMA even, would ever have such innaccurate reporting as boxing has done on it, by the very network that airs it no less. Total disrespect to Pavlik and boxing. This happens ALL the time on HBO's website.

    According to HBO Clottey's never been dropped, yet we all saw Cotto drop Clottey with a jab in the 1rst round.

      Did he ever vacate it or anything maybe? I'm pretty sure he didn't.

        Jim Lampley said on several occasions that Joe Calzaghe was dropped by Chris Eubank in the first round and then came back to win. Actually it was Calzaghe who dropped Eubank.

          HBO have been smoking something if they think Sergio Martinez is Kelly Pavliks 1st Title Defence..

            Obviously a mistake on whoever wrote the headline but the article clearly states he has had 3 defenses.

              Someone on here said Lampley is a serious Calzaghe hater, I bet he never even seen most of Calzaghes fights.

                That was Kellerman who made that mistake. He said it during the broadcast and then said it again during the post fight interview to the extend of: "You showed great determination coming back from a KD just as you did in the Eubank fight..."

                Calzaghe must have been like "What the **** is this guy talking about?"

                  Yep Kellerman also said it as well as Lampley.
