Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez-Paul Williams: Too Close, Even For Vegas

[Dirk Diggler UK]

who needs Vegas, put your money on Williams! lol

Martinez although I thought he won the first fight he didn't "DOMINATE" despite the fact that he landed the harder shots, it was a CLOSE FIGHT all the way around

BUT...you will see a huge difference from a guy Preparing for Pavlik for MONTHS then switch up and preparing for Martinez in some WEEKS, Martinez was OPEN when he got the call from Williams camp, he wasn't preparing for any particular fighter but Williams was, the Training and getting in shape is one thing, but implementing a game plan and preparing for certain styles...that is a different aspect, you go from preparing for a SLOW One-Dimensional Kelly Pavlik to a Quick and Slick Martinez I am sure it makes a HUGE difference

with a Full Camp To Prepare For Martinez, I think Williams will benefit the MOST and it will show in the RING...Williams by KO or UD

Martinez was supposed to be taking a tune up fight. So im pretty sure it was harder to go from fighting a nobody to fighting a 6'3 southpaw with a HW reach who throws 100 punches a round.

Lol. Martinez should be like a 3 to 1 favorite over Paul if you look at their last performances. Maybe the odds makers are taking into consideration that HBO are gonna likely have a judge or two in their pockets again like they did in the last fight.

Various press have reported that Las Vegas oddsmakers have opened up the Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams rematch as an even-money fight. The rematch is too close to call, even for the experts in Las Vegas. Last December Williams edged out a twelve round majority decision victory. The scores were 119-110, 115-113 and 114-114.

PWill can make the adjustments and win this fight.

pwill only knows how to fight one way: volume punching. he can't box for *****.

I say the fight will be competitive like the first but I think
Martinez has improved and looked better of the two and
probably will be too slick for Paul Williams this go around.

martinez took the fight on short notice while pwill was in training. true pwill was training for someone else, but he was still in shape.

if martinez trains properly, I think he should win by a close margin

this is gonna a be a good equal fight unlike margacheato vs roidqcuiao

Everyone keeps talking about Paul making adjustments, I have never seen him make any adjustments. He got lucky and tagged Quintana early on in the rematch, nothing more. Martinez had less than a month to prepare for that fight and he was the one that made several tactical adjustments in the first fight when the right hooks quit working, he started the straight left leads to the chest and stomach. When those stopped, he started with the left hooks....Martinez's only issue was that he gassed a bit. This time, he will take Paul to school, Paul is scared of Martinez. Paul had never, ever been dropped before and he was all cut up by the end of the first match, he is gonna be even worse this time around. Williams saw how Martinez busted up Pavlik and had HBO not pushed so hard for the rematch, Williams would be fighting a lesser opponent.

ima save up and throw some money down on this fight

Williams will make adjustments and win this fight convincingly. We've seen the best Martinez has to offer... Williams is still maturing but will make adjustments and dominate this time around.

Williams makes no adjustments. Simply a volume puncher. We all know this.

No they dont one person in this thread has.

How did they "quit working" sounds like your suggesting PWill made an adjustment.
