He kept throwing it everytime and even landed a big overhand left on one occasion before the knockout happened.

    Martinez did say also say prior to the fight in an interview that it was 'lights out' for Paul, well he wasn't kidding us either...

    So Martinez had Paul already figured out before the fight, this doesn't take a brain surgeon to work it out. Paul was oblivious to it, that is why he walked straight into it. This is to those who think it was a 'lucky shot', that shot was telegraphed before the fight.
    s-mart was throwing that punch all night

      I did keep thinking to myself, how did he find that shot, as when you watch it, he did'nt really have time to react to Williams ****ing the left hand, if he did, he would have incredible reflexes, speed, so yeah, im inclined run with what you say.

        he wasnt reacting to williams left hand, he was reacting to pauls shoulders. Martinez watches the center of pauls chest, not his hands.

        Paul was trying to feint right jab and then throw a left hand. martinez pivoted around what WOULD have been a right jab, and was going to bring a left over it.

        Pauls left came because martinez pivoted, paul thought he'd walk him into it.

        It was all set in play. Both men were reading each other.. its just that paul has shotty defense.. he dropped that arm too low on the feint and was countered perfectly. watch the KO in real time.

              It was an extremely well-timed shot that landed perfectly. You can tell Sergio studied Williams' tapes in camp very carefully. He waited for Paul to throw and leave himself open, leaned to his right and threw the overhand shot.

              That's all preparation, timing, and skill. Luck had nothing to do with it.

                because he said it in the interview???

                He studied the Quintana fight. Quintana landed that shot at will and Martinez was hitting that as well in the first fight. He kept moving back and landing it and it took him three hits in the round to end it. Williams simply doesn't know how to fight lefties

                  Man I kept telling Burner that Manny would KO Williams because that is a punch he is open for. Martinez knew if as well because if you ever pay attention to Williams, he drops his opposite hand, and leans in for shots. That's the punch you throw on an opponent who does that.....and again if you actually pay attention to Williams fights...you would see this.

                    Another thing, which Bob Pappa mentioned, was that Martinez planned to take the fight to Williams and be more aggressive. That statement left me scratching my head but after watching that KO, I completely understood. Martinez kept moving back but he launched that punch forward as Williams waded in. Just beautiful.

                      it wasn't a lucky punch, because he had already landed that punch against williams in the first fight and landed it a couple of times before the ko in their second fight...........
