Pavlik vs Espino Set For December 19, Top Rank PPV

[JazMerkin]

I actually give PW a hell of a lot of credit for taking this fight

There is nobody at 160 other than the dodger pavlik to fight. He could conceivably of used this to bolster his rep on HBO and put himself in with a sylvester or lorenzo who he would of just tore through.

Instead he`s fighting one of the top guys at 154

Except he's fighting him at 160. For a guy who's apparently a Welterweight, that's just bullshit.

Martinez has already said he has no probs with stepping up and feels it`ll suit him

If he fights the same pace he did against cintron he`ll more than make for a good fight. PW himself has only just moved up to 160 so he`ll hardly be the established guy come fight night

I do see PW winning a points decision (no way is he stopping martinez) but this will be far from a dead rubber and i expect sergio to be in it till the very end

I'm not saying it's an easy fight, but I'd just like it if Williams & his team stopped pretending that he's a welterweight who's had to come out of his weightclass to get fights, but rather a guy who's outgrown the weight.

They were saying they had him eating 4 full meals a day to not go under weight for Pavlik, well if that's the case why not fight Martinez at 154 where it would mean more & probably crown a lineal champ. If he says he's a MW, I've got no problem, but after this I don't want him bringing up this shit about how he's so avoided & had to leave 147 to find fights.
