What happened to Pavlik's body punching?

Seriously WTF?

Did Martinez neutralize it with his movement or was Pavlik straight up head hunting.

I think its the latter.

I think it was a little of both, I think he lost confidence in the body punching since Martinez was moving so much that it was hard for him to land good body-shots.

I always thought you used effective body punching to slow down a fast fighter.

I think I can count on my hands how many body punches Pavlik even attempted in the whole freakin fight.

It was Martinez movement I think, Pavlik is usually great at mixing up body punches and head punches. It was one of the big reasons he was able to KO Taylor.

It was neutralised by Hopkins movement too, so I think thats one of the assets Pavlik can't use when facing a fighter using lateral movement.

He just didnt even throw at the body. Simple as that.
