Sorry it's a bit late and probably been talked to death already but I just watched the Martinez - Pavlik fight just now. I thought it was a great fight. I thought the 9th round was superb from Martinez! Martinez started well and won the opening rounds but then Pavlik fought really well to win the middle rounds and get himself back in the fight. Just when it looked like Pavlik was getting things going his own way, Martinez came out and tore Pavlik apart in the 9th. Pavlik barely landed a punch, Martinez moved in and out just hittin Pavlik at will. I loved that round, Martinez was awesome. I think there was an argument to be made for a 10-8 round. Also I don't think the knockdown should've counted as Pavlik's left foot was behind Martinez right foot but it didn't matter in the end anyway. Good fight from Martinez but I hope Pavlik can pick himself back up from this as he's only 28.
