Williams v Martinez close to a deal for 5th December

[rjj tszyu]

Will that mean the winner will fight Ryan Rhodes? Can't see it, Williams is long overdue some big paydays and I think he batters Martinez.

Gotta say well done to Williams for taking this after Pavlik pulling out though, I expected him to take a no name fighter, having said that if the choice comes up Williams always takes world class if he can.

Does anyone think Williams can fill out to SMW effectively? If he could there would be some serious fights for him and he could finally get the fights he needs. He certainly has the height.

Williams' most difficult fight up to this point if it happens. I would say possibly more stylistically difficult than Pavlik. How much punching power does Martinez have?

[OumaFan]

Yeah style wise this is probably tougher than Pavlik but I don't know, I'm not as high on Martinez as some, he's solid enough I guess.

If everyone could become thought of as a danger man by beating Alex Bunema...

Williams TKO

martinez is a very good fighter and i've been wanting to see this fight get made for a while. these two are the best 154-ers. p.will by UD.

Martinez will be a totally different fight than Pavlik for sure but in the couple of fights i've seen Martinez he seemed a bit too easy to hit. Williams will eventually beat him up i say.

Well this is the fight that I said should get made, once Pavlik pulled out.

Martinez has quick hands, he moves around quickly, he darts in and out, and I actually think he will give Williams some fits. If he fights smart, I think he can win this on points.

The only concern I would have, is that he hasn't fought since February when he fought against Cintron, so hopefully he won't be too rusty.

[Spicoli]

Like Martinez alot,superb boxer that can move all night.After beating Cintron twice in one fight and getting screwed,he's owed a big oppurtunity.Bottom line I dont think he'll be able to keep Williams off and will have his comfort zone,distance taken away as it goes rounds.
