        Martinez looked like he was wilting for a while there, but that left hand changed everything. You could see how it energized him. Pavlik then started to wilt.

        It was a good fight though. Momentum changes. After the 8th round I was smelling a Pavlik KO coming. Complete momentum shift at the end.

          Quite obvious that Martinez team watched the Pavlik vs Hopkins fight a couple of times

            that's why boxing is so much greater than MMA. MMA doesn't have that momentum change like boxing does. I.E. corrales/castillo etc.

              His body language and demeaner during he fight once martinez came on after that knockdown suggested that he wanted the fight to end. Hewas clearly a beaten fighter at that point

                Lowe is an oldschool trainer, he doesn't want his fighter to quit and pushes him when he doesn't want to.....

                  The warrior that was Pavlik is gone.
