Martinez has enough mobility and mixed punch set to keep Pavlik turning and might just get him big time flustered.He MUST keep sharp and Martinez can be a very cocky guy,,,hands down,flaunting and a bit of coasting.He better be on point from jump off and not be a smart azz with limited but strong Pavlik and get off 1,2,3 and move.Pavliks strength can be his biggest liability against a smooth and confident boxer.The blue prints out on him.
Pavlik absolutely dominated Rubio, he won every round, and Rubio a couple of early career KO's aside is renowned as a durable guy.

Martinez couldn't finish a welterweight with chin issues in Kermit Cintron.

I think Martinez gets blasted tonight and Pavlik once again gets back in the p4p.

The loss to Hopkins I think was as much a case of a career worst performance as it was anything to do with his lack of skills.

He'll redeem himself tonight with a one sided display.
