Re: Sergio Martinez is looking for an opponent
I think this fight would be all wrong for Martinez. The style match up is gonna be ugly. With Winkys style, the opportunities aren't going to be plentiful. The room for leading is even worse when you consider Winky just works off the jab and Martinez likes to sit outside wait for opportunities then use his speed to bridge a gap , score and then get out. Its hard for Martinez to look impressive in this fight. If theres anything that can kill the buzz after the pavlik fight, its fighting a guy who jabs out of a shell and plays your shadow for 12 rounds. Look at what it did for Pacquiao against Clottey.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
