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

[skel1983]

Not much talk on this fight, just looking at the odds and I think 4/6 on Pavlik is a steal personally.

I think Martinez is a decent boxer with alot of skills but for me he aint a Middleweight, I fancy Pavlik to chop him down within 9.

Definately understand the argument, but Martinez is one of the hardest guys to hit in pro boxing. Pavlik has one gear, Martinez knows that and makes an easy night of it.

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

Pavlik is going to win by tko. From what I've seen, Martinez isn't that hard to hit and Pavlik can bang. Like Williams, he's going to throw a shit-ton of punches and I think he'll land regularly, hurt Martinez and eventually stop him.

Martinez is very hard to hit, he just doesn't flail around like most defense first fighters. He just moves ever so slightly, just enough the way it should be done.

He got tagged a lot (and hurt) against Williams, who is somewhat similar to Pavlik in the sense that he has impressive reach and throws a ton of punches. I know they're totally different fighters in pretty much every other way, but that fight convinced me that Pavlik would beat Martinez

Would you care for a sigi bet?

I don't remember him being hurt, but I remember him being off-balance and getting put down. He hurt Williams a few times and that was Williams at Middleweight.

Pavlik is a beast at 160, and I'd fancy him to stop Martinez in 7. I really hope I'm wrong though.

Pavlik scores a big KO

I think the fight could really go either way, but whichever it does I don't expect it to be terribly close, if that makes sense. It's a very interesting clash of styles, and both guys will probably throw and land a lot in spots, but I feel it will be one or the other who is largely much more effective.

If Pavlik can figure him out and find a home for the right hand I don't see Martinez taking many good shots, but if he(Pavlik) can't get into a rythym Martinez could run away with it and outbox him by a wide margin. I don't think Martinez is strong enough at 160 to really get the better of Pavlik in a fight like he had with Williams, Kelly should be to strong for him if they are going to wind up trading shots. I want to say Martinez will outbox him but like CFH said I don't see him being as slick or elusive as some seem to think. That said, Pavlik fights very upright and doesn't move laterally, nothing would really surprise me in this fight. Great matchup imo.

Martinez by UD12...

[Kirkland Laing]

Another great fight featuring Martinez and a Pavlik win.

[Gandalf]

It should be a fun fight, but I think Pavliks output and power will gradually break down Martinez. The Hopkins fight was a one off and Pavlik is ready to bounce back.

[Chris Nagel]

I'm favoring Martinez. I think he's elusive enough that'll give Pavlik trouble, and I think being southpaw is also an advantage for him here.

I pick Martinez. Too much lateral movement. Pavlik will connect, but not often enough to win.
