Pavlik/Martinez weigh-in

[killersheep]

Pavlik and Martinez both made weight at 159.5 lbs.

Martinez looks like he's on steroids, all the extra weight is muscle. Pavlik looks to be in decent shape, a little soft, but no more than usual.

This should be a good fight. I just think Pavlik is too big for Martinez though and will bust him up down the stretch. I can see Pavlik really making a statement. I'm sure Martinez will have his moments, but Pavlik will hit him hard and often and he will slow down and his moments will become fewer and farther between.

I've been a Kelly Pavlik fan for quite a few years, and im still rooting for him. And im picking him to win, if Antonio Margarito can bust up Sergio Martinez with his pressure.

Then Kelly Pavlik has a shot aswell, i know that fight was along time ago, but i still think that fight has somewhat of a blueprint.

I think Pavlik has a shot if he can catch Martinez early on but i think that's highly unlikely. I see Martinez will moving away from Pavlik's right hand, figuring out Kelly's rhythm and then counter him with ease. Williams superior foot speed enabled him to apply more pressure then the flat footed Pavlik will be able too.

Don't get me wrong kelly has way more than just a shot.....this fight is going to be great either way. And i agree with most here, i know martinez likes it at 154 but man if he can come in this big and ripped 160 might be a great weight for him as well. Fans on both sides should be confident in either guy winning tonight. Like usual i'll sit back and root for both !!

Man it pains me to say this bout the youngstown boy....but i really see martinez beating him. Short of being robbed again i see him being to fast and too strong. I actually hope kelly does well though.
