So i stayed up till about 4 in the morning (uk time) to see the fight and what i found ridicolous was Larry merchant saying in other words that Pavlik should of ducked Martinez and took on a Garry Lockett type of defense and these are generally the same people that say Floyd of fought this or that. It's no wonder the sport isnt thriving as much as it should especially when the commentators who should be calling the fight between the middleweight champion and a highly rated contender instead talk about how the champion of the world should of taken an easy defense lol

Kelly Pavlik is fighting the perfect fight.

Yeah, I thought that was a crock of **** as well. HBO commentary as of late has been just awful. A lot of cheerleaders and a lot of wanting to protect their investments. Just call the fights down the middle and the rest will work its self out.Comment

Yea I usually like Lampley. You just know it's a big fight when you hear him. But lately he has ******. When I watched the replay this morning I said the same thing when I heard that comment. And then he made a big deal about Martinez getting knocked down. Obviously it was from a punch but he made it seem like it was from some monstrous right hand.
On the other hand I love Merchant and never have a problem with him haha.Comment

Only gave Pavlik 2-3 rounds. I was pissed off at the fact that Martinez wasn't being credited for his body work. The commentating yesterday was horrible.Comment

Hahah i laughed at that as well this morning. I'm glad I saw it live and didn't have to listen to that rubbish.
Although he did right himself, he probably felt ****** he was like "even though it's only one minute into the fight"Comment
