Ima come clean 1st and say I was thinking last time he was going to blow out Martinez with a 1st round stoppage.
1) In the first fight we all know he was not prepared.
2) Combine that with when he dropped Martinez in round 1 he figured he had him out of there (like I did) and let his guard down wanted to finish the show and got caught with a shot that tipped him off balance.
3) The next few rounds he fought angry did not apply his usual pressure and combination punching his unpreparedness showed. I still think he pulled off some of those rounds though.
4) We all saw he made adjustments and took over the fight.
This time we start from him knowing what to do and fully prepared (plus the last fight he dindnt get any credit for that win thanks to Cintron) hes back and wants those MW straps..I expect a short night for tall Paul. Of course I would like a long great fight as a boxing fan but dont see it happening.
