Good, just round the corner. Iv'e only seen Martinez fight once but he struck me as a very decent fight. Obviously Williams is a step above 'very decent' but who knows, Williams might switch off?
Might be a little under motivated after the Pavlik fight fell through?

MArtinez will be a tough fight, the dude is part of the upper part of the pyramid. Best last minute picked up opponent.

Paul to win no question. Sucks to see "other" fighters getting so called titles in made up divisions and weights while williams will eat your lunch at the division and weight already established. Anywhere from 147 to 160 and maybe even 168 i even heard him say. Ah well...

[HattonTheHammer]

Arguably the best 2 154 pounders fight tonight......at 160

Gonna be a great fight anyway. Williams is just about the most underrated fighter in the sport of boxing and is pretty much the finished article. He`s a rare combination of very defense minded yet extremely good to watch.

Martinez is a battler with a solid chin and a great ability to mess you up on the inside. He`ll take PWs best punches and dish a few out of his own.

For all his strengths i dont see him finding a way past williams barring cuts. Martinez is not the kind of guy who will rest on his laurels and i can see him going for it down the stretch and possibly getting stopped late on.

Also on the card, arreola, quintana, witherspoon and thompson

Going with Williams in what could be 1 helluva rumble.

I like both fighters, but I think Williams output will be too much. Should be a very good fight though and Martinez will likely claim a round or two.

[killersheep]

Martinez is going to shock a lot of people with his handling and control. I expect Martinez to win by a comfortable margin but take a close SD on the cards.

Thompson is beating up Chazz right now...

Stickied.

Williams should win, but Martinez is an excellent fighter. I think this is the toughest test of Williams' career so far. Too bad it's not at 154.
