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

[Derranged]

I only gave Pavlik 3 rounds anyway

So it would have been 117-111 without the bogus "knockdown"

The knockdown was not bogus.. He got hit with a punch and while off balance. Thats a legitamite knock down. He wasn't hurt though.

havent rewatched the fight. but i thought in the eight rounds he fought with a lil bit panic because he got downed in the 6 or 7 round, which is a deciding point since the earlier round is closed to call. martinez fought in the later rounds a bit loose in defense and more on offense, which turned out to be effective coz he had exposed kelly has no more answer for anymore.

just my observation.
