    If Williams has an offnight, Martinez will make Quintana's first performance against Williams look very mediocre. Martinez is THE premier sharp shoot at light middle IMO, but Williams volume cannot be ignored. Martinez is excellent at owning the range and he hit Cintron hard enough for Kermit to think it was a headbutt.

    I take Williams late TKO, but I give Martinez a better shot than I was giving Pavlik.

    Just one readers opinion of course.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Absolutley right.Martinezs skillset makes Pavliks appear to be stuck in concrete.No doubt he has a better all around gameplan,multi geared rather than a one deminsional Pavlik.

    If Williams sleeps on him, he'll be collecting a big 'L'.Totally agree.But I just dont see it with rejuvinated and healthier Williams at this weight.Cintrons problems was tons of solid Martinez and just a bit of himself to me,and still managed to make it after being KO'd in there.I think Martinez needs spurts of a buffer,distance and Williams will very well take it from him.Better quality fight for sure.

    sergio isn't any more skilled than pavlik. he's just as basic but much more athletic and a lot faster. forrest of few years ago would've beaten him rather convincingly.

    this fight's at 160.

    Completely disagree, skill wise Martinez is light years ahead of Pavlik. Watch his footwork, his slip and parry skill, his jab etc. With Pavlik you get plodding forward throwing 1-2's.

    he knows to move in more ways than forward. otherwise, he's your typical athletic talent. it's all in-and-out with him. he does counter better.

    It sounds like a decent matchup to me. Seems fair enough considering it's only a month away.
