I have to work this Saturday night, so I'm going to miss it, but it should be good.

Martinez is gonna whoop Kelly's ass ....but being as though they'll be fighting in Kelly's gym I think Martinez will get what Floyd got over Oscar....robbed of a UD and given a SD

[eli porter]

can't believe pavlik is a betting favourate, I could have made loads if I'd have had enough money spare...

Pavlik isnt the same fight he once was but he still has to much for this guy!!!

[IMDAZED]

Pavlik UD12 on workrate, size and strength. But I wouldn't be surprised if his power causes a KO. Matter of fact, I should pick KO because Pavlik always straightens out that right hand at one point or another and lands it flush but I think Sergio will be crafty enough to hear the final bell.

I respect your opinion Sekondz - explain.

Pavlik...

I think people are overrating Martinez badly. Fighting Williams and fighting Pavlik are night and day. Williams doesn't fight tall while Pavlik uses his reach and has a stiff jab that does damage as well as his straight right (which mark my words, will be landing).

I see Martinez having moments and being able to slip form time to time, but in order to beat Pavlik you have to overwhelm him and I don't think Martinez has the size or power to do that to Kelly.

KO for Pav in 8

I like Martinez in this fight. I think Hopkins took something out of Pavlik. And, he is not the same fight anymore.

I know a lot of people look at the Hopkins fight at 170. But, I like to look more at the Taylor rematch at 166. Granted Pavlik is better at 160 than at 166. But, I look at how Taylor did a better job in staying off the ropes, keeping the fight in the middle of the ring. JT won a handful of rounds and this was a Pavlik who had all the confidence in the World. But, JT having the fight in the middle of the ring gave Pavlik trouble in the rematch. It was a very close fight.

I also look at Pavlik best KO wins against Zertuche, Zuniga, Miranda, and Taylor. All those KO's happen on the ropes. Look at the first JT fight. This was at 160 now, when JT was in the middle of the ring he dropped Pavlik, hurt him, had on ***** street, out on his feet. JT downfall was getting caught up on the ropes.

Martinez has to stay off the ropes and I think he will. I think he will keep the fight in the middle of the ring, he will not let Pavlik get set. For Kelly pavlik to land he needs to be set, Martinez would not allow that, he will turn him, he will use movement, his in and out ability and quick hands and foot will give Pavlik hell.

And then you add that I think Pavlik is not the same fighter after Hopkins I don't see how Pavlik can win this fight. Unless Martinez bad luck continues and does not get the benefit of the doubt on the cards...
