Sergio Martinez is great but he has a few flaws that will cause his demise!!!!!!

[flem1]

Give me a name of a good fighter Pavlik has knocked down with one punch!! I mean he breaks people down through rounds, kinda like MArgarito but Pavlik has no tremendous KO power!!!!

Yes he does have big power and can hurt his opponents bad early in the fight.

[AllEyesOpen]

I dont like Pavlik but he was turning things around before the cut!! If it wasnt for the cut I think Pavlik would of rolled over Martinez, he is so much bigger than Martinez!!!!!

Really? Then why didn't he roll over him the first 3-4 rounds of the fight? Like i said, he started looking better and won a few of the middle rounds, but it wasn't chance that cut both his eyes, it was Martinez.

IMHO Martinez learned from the first Williams loss and made sure he had enough to finish big, and he did that.

Right Martinez's punches cut him and thats what gave him the edge!!!!!Id like to see a rematch some day!!

anyone who thinks kirkland or angulo have a chance are being ridiculous.. martinez would destroy them both.. hed def KO kirkland.. Kirkland isnt any good, look very sloppy and sluggish in his last bout..

Okay im being rediculous!! In boxing no fighter ever has a punchers chance!! Especially heavy punchers!!

Martinez is too sexy to have any flaws

The concept of martinez putting his hands low

First of all he fights with his hands too low and gets hit a lot, second IMO he does not have a great chin. PWilliams knockd him down and Williams is not known to be a real heavy puncher, He has been rocked by Pavlik and Dzinzurik. I believe Krikland and Angulo have a good chance of beating him because of their great chins and tremendous knock out power, especially Kirkland!! Martinez has not been tested by anyone like those two guys!!! Im not hating, IMO Martinez should be P4P #2 right under Pacquiao, im just expressing my opinion on what I believe will be his down fall!!!!!!!

Once Martinez has found his range against the opponent and knows at which distance the opponent cannot hit him, he will keep his hands low.

The benefits to martinez for keeping his hands low are:

1 ) Balance! It is easier for him to move swiftly with his hands closer to his waist level than in front of his face.

2 ) Going to the body.

3 ) Landing the counter hook.

4 ) Protecting against body shots.

5 ) Baiting the other fighter- this helped martinez get first knockdown of dizinziruk in round 8

6 ) Creating a clinch.

7 ) Conserving energy.

Well with Williams, while technically a knockdown, was mostly due to balance, and Dzinziruk never hurt him.

martinez is gonna have to keep those hands up....it's getting ridiculous & its being praised by his fans as something good which is hilarious....the guy gets hit way to much. you saw it with roy, you saw it with hamed. keeping your hands down is a flaw & it will quickly catch up to you......

I think people throw around the word great to often~


A couple more fights and I would be cool with calling Sergio great though, so he is on the cusp
