Thread: Martinez vs Ward @ 168?

Who wins and why?

Much better than watching him beat the crap out of kirkland

Sergio Martinez should try and get Margarito or Cotto or Sturm in the ring before he goes up in weight.

I think Ward would just be too big for him, but Martinez is on one hell of a roll so who knows...

I'm not a fan of ward but he has a predictable style to a smart fighter and he would smother Martinez punch output with ease by getting inside and head butting him and whatever

I want to see Martinez completely disintegrate Margarito in the face of this planet, can't imagine how years back Cheato beat this great fighter.

Agree with CFH. How about Kessler?

Maybe Arthur Abraham at 160 lbs, Abraham is 5'10" too and is quite small for super middle.

Abraham is finished. He wouldn't win a single round against Martinez.

I think Abraham who is a middleweight has more chance than anybody else at 154 lbs and below.

Abraham would actually have a legitimate chance vs Martinez at 160 .

but back to the original question

Ward beats Martinez quite comfortably 116-112 at both middleweight and smw

I dunno, he couldn't even make 168 for his last fight (though I doubt he tried very hard). He just looks old and worn out to me. I don't think he'll have much success back at 160.

Ward will stop Martinez.
Was it me or did Martinez look tired in the 6 and 7th round? Ward would used the extra weight to tired Martinez out completely and get the TKO.

If Dirrell and make 160, that would be a good fight!!!

There is only one person Dirrell needs to see to gain his legitimacy back, win or lose, he needs to face Ward.

Ward would be too physical for Martinez. Ward has the body to move to light heavyweight.

You make a good point, actually, Martinez tends to take his foot off the gas in the 5-8th rounds of fights. He did it in the Pavlik fight and in Williams I and now here. He then usually finishes strong.
