i think pavliks KO power is overrated...

[_original_]

Kelly can be a very dangerous puncher once he gets into rhythm and plants his feet....he does pack a huge punch, but his style is more of a grinder as he wears his opponents down and takes them out....there's a reason Hopkins and Martinez had to stay in constant movement to avoid this

[Scary]

he doesnt have explosiveness in his punches and seems to be lacking that pop...his KO's mostly come from an accumulation of punches...he doesnt have that kind of 1 punch power that can change the course of a fight in the blink of an eye

im a fan of both, but i expect martinez to UD or possibly even stop pavlik late. martinez WILL get hit, but he will be able to take kellys power. only way he gets KO'd is if he gets hit ALOT in this fight and thats simply not going to happen since martinez is slick and moves around alot...he will only get hit a few times which wont be that big of a deal to him.

martinez wins this easily IMO

You got it. Karma your way. I got it right too

Everything about him is overrated.

[Uturn]

What so Pavlik doesn't have power now? I've said all along Pavlik is flatfooted but seriously the likes of Hopkins, Martinez, are just all wrong for Pavlik. Martinez is always on the move and not easy to catch. Pavlik has great power if he connects so stop with this myth because Martinez knew exactly what he had to do in there.

No lie.

His power isn't overrated. If you notice, the 2 guys that beat him barely got a hand laid on them by Pavlik. He needs serious accumulation to do damage and get the KO's in the later rounds.

nobody giving me credit besides scary for calling this fight EXACTLY how it played out?
