Maaaaaan, watching that weigh-in footage made me double pumped for this fight. I can't fucking wait! :box2:

[Rome-By-Ko]

Damn Sergio looks like a beast this is gonna be a good one.

Stepping Stone Pavlik..... Martinez is the best!

[PittyPat]

Also, they both look very confident. I couldn't see any wavering in either fighters' body language or expression, although perhaps Martinez's constant posturing could be interpreted as over-compensating...?

Either way, what an amazing weekend of world championship boxing!

Should be agreat fight, im going with pavlik by TKO

[mathed]

Martinez will tax that ass!!

Martinez will tax that ass!!

Oh he will, but Williams' wild and energetic style was tailor-made for Martinez. Pavlik, with his reach and height advantages, is in a better position to control the fight on his terms and dictate the pace in a more patient manner - and having that one-punch KO power certainly helps (something which Williams lacks).

[johnm is...]

I guess I'm alone here, but I think this may be the best shape I've seen Pavlik in.

If Sergio can handle Pavliks power,i can see Sergio outboxing and landing at will on Pavlik,either getting the deicision he deserves,or horribly robbed,which wouldent suprise me

Actually the last time Pavlik boxed here, he wasn`t awarded a decision, as he lost a fight to Bernard Hopkins... Hope to see some objective judging here.

You judge the strength of a fighter by the way they look?

won 36 (KO 32)

Well, Martinez himself can smack pretty hard. The only reason his KO ratio is around 50% is because he is not a very active fighter...
