martinez isn't that hard to hit. but he's good enough to beat pavlik.

I fancy Martinez over Pavlik - Well, at least I hope he beats Pavlik and I can see him doing it too.

I think Martinez will have taken home some lessons on Pavlik after watching his fight with Hopkins. Don't allow Pavlik to set himself and get into a rhythm and you'll be fine. The way Martinez fights and counters awkwardly, I think he'll be Pavliks achilles heel!

Yeah, stylistically I think Martinez has an dge, but Hopkins didn't just outbox Pavlik, he really beat him up and was much stronger. Martinez isn't nearly as good an infighter, and really doesn't do much of anything as well as Hopkins does, I think Pavlik has a pretty good chance to turn it into a more physical fight, but hope I'm wrong about that, I don't like Pavlik much at all as a boxer.
