How about that 5th round!!! They hammered each other for the last min of the round. I'm sure it might get consideration for round of the year.

IMO I think Williams is better off staying away from Pavlik. Kelley has heavy hands and Martinez landed a tonne of clean right hands. Pavlik will KO's Williams if they fight. Williams was hurt a few times in the fight and Sergio is not considered a big puncher.
he's not as big of a puncher as Pavlik, but he punches a lot sharper, which will have an effect on a fighter, Williams has only really struggled against 2 guys, Quintana and Martinez, both are fast, sharp, accurate punchers, both have a slick style, and both are southpaws, that's basically everything Pavlik isn't, IMO Williams outworks Pavlik for a UD or stops him late
