Sergio Martinez: "I gave away the middle rounds to Pavlik ON PURPOSE"

[BMWM3P]

Go ahead and point out my ****ty posting record. I challenge you.

LOL, I don't have to point out ****. Those who have been unfortunate enough to read your delusional babble on anything Dirrell related know what I'm talking about.

Right Sergio, and you cut him exactly when you wanted to, in order to turn the heat up again.

he threw 3 4 punch combination 30 sec into the 9 round. he was turning up the heat before the cut.

It may make sense but I think he would want to win al the rds given his bad history on American soil when it comes to big fights and decisions. Although at the end of the fight, he did say that his plan to win was a 12 rd plan. This may have been his plan all along to give Pavlik the middle rds but to me it looked like Pavlik adjusted well to Martinez and was picking off a lot of shots during those rds. Pavlik wasn't landing too much either but he was giving Martinez a rougher time than in the beginning of the fight.

I don't buy it personally because it just is too risky for a fight this big, he should be aiming to win every rd. as a true champion should. It could be the truth as well so I don't know- he is champion now and he deserved the win.

I think he did, even though he lost those middle rounds its not like Pavlik won them big really or did much damage, Sergio was in control the whole fight.

i think martinez is lying. what kind of strategy is giving up the middle rounds on purpose. I mean when margo and those guys fight they are just slow starters, they don't purposefully lose them

Lol right.. Care to say what I wrote, or show me? I dare you. You won't because you can't.

Funny how I have never even seen you post, and you come here calling me out, because I disagree with you.. The guy with Martinez in his sig. If I post such BS, you'd think you would say something before I call out your favorite boxer for lying.

The fight was close rds 1-8 although with a pretty clear winner in each rd. It wasn't lopsided until rd 9 when he got the cut, but someones going to sit here, and tell me he let Pavlik win 4 or 5 rds, and knock him down?

[..David..]

I believe the strategy of taking a little break in between to get a little energy and then step it up in the last rounds to win the fight.

But going as far as saying the strategy was to actually LOSE those rounds on purpose its plain ridiculous. No trainer aims to lose round and no fighter should either.

I believe the plan but i think the losing on purpose rounds its total bull**** IMO Whats next he is gonna say he was knockedown on purpose too so pavlik could get overconfident Cmon.

( and I really like Martinez and was really happy he won but this is too much 4me )

[RockyB]

No, i dont think he did.

why stop when he was already crushing him?

[dorruel2.0]

nahhh...i saw Pavlik coming on strong and even outboxing Sergio for a bit.

[z0jo]

the funny thing is even the rounds he took off he was still winning them.
