Pavlik v Martinez only a few weeks away who you got?

[Fenster]

I think either Pavlik overpowers Martinez or gets slaughtered on points. But then gets the robbery decision (was that said earlier? if so, well said)

Martinez wide UD in reality, but loses a SD on the cards.

I'm going to the fight!!! http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor.../spongebob.gif

Been a while for me, too. I think Martinez can hang in there for 12 Rnds and show Pavlik a thing or two. A couple things throw red flags:

#1 Pavlik is usually a devastating puncher all throughout a fight. Martinez can't get caught by anything big or it could be lights out. On the other end Pavlik's arms will definitely tire if he is punching air all night like his opponent makes people do..

#2 Pavlik has not really been in a plan B situation since Jermain Taylor. I think Martinez figures him out with some shaky early rounds, and cruises (ala KillerSheep)

#3 Martinez is not flat footed like Pavlik and has a rhythm to punching which can dictate a hard to "walk through" kind of fight. Pavlik is a plodding bulldozer, but don't be fooled, he's got good boxing skills. But I think he isn't going to fare well without intimidating Martinez

#4 Pavlik is bigger. much bigger.. (but we know who's mellon weights more)

#5 Pavlik's turf. Could be another disappointing night for the Argentinian in someone else's city.

Pavlik TKO 10th!

( or Martinez by UD, if Kelly happens to show up drunk, get in a fight with a vendor and his 2 small children on the way to the ring.)

I have only seen Martinez a few times and the same for Pavlik. Martinez is a pesky lefty with some pop while grit stamina and determination goes to the champ. Kelly is a classic stand up fighter and Martinez is a moving flamboyant style fighter. He is what we know as high energy vs. a steady pressuring high volume, heavy fist fighter. Martinez is fats and Pavlik is a high volume straight puncher. Martinez moves in awkward movements and balance is the only thing that hasn't been discussed and with all of Sergio's movement and speed, there is where he has a big gaping hole for Pavlik to exploit.
