HBO announcers seem to be carrying an agenda in fights.
Martinez completely neutralized Pavlik for the first 4 rounds, then in the middle rounds were more competitive, but close and thet were acting as if Pavlik was winning the rounds clearly.
He won the 8th round, but you would've sworn he lost it from the announcing. Martinez had to cut, bloody, and come with waves of combinations to change the tide of the biased calling. That type of bias **** is terrible in close rounds.
The way the began calling the Martinez-Williams II fight, it was as if they already wanted to sway public perception to Williams if the fight turned out to be a close decision. As if they had to make it up to Haymon for not being biased toward Williams in the first fight.
