I like Martinez alot and I'm a big Pavlik fan even after 2009. He needs to clean up his bullshit outside the ring but other then that he is still the man at 160.

I was rather disappointed with his 2009 showing but I'm sure he was as well. I'll say that Kelly is a decent boxer that has trouble with slick guys. Taylor boxed with him in their second fight but he's not slick. Hopkins movement and getting off first froze him the whole fight(granted it was at 175)

I think this is going to be a very telling fight for Pavlik. Sergio is slick, quick and has a bit of pop. He also always shows up to fight and is well conditioned. This is probably not a great fight for Kelly to take in terms of risk/reward but it'll be good for the fans... and after all that's what boxing is about.

As I'm fans of both guys, I'm gonna say that Martinez wins a narrow split decision in a good contest.
