Espino should not have gone more than 2 or 3 rounds with Pavlik; I don't think he's in top form anymore, mentally or physically. Martinez is a bad style matchup and just a hell of a fighter himself. I can't see Kelly finding him very often, especially if he doesn't jab like in this fight.
Pavlik goes against Sergio Martinez...Williams against Cintron from what i read on Twitter. Malignagii against Kahn also. Pavlik is scared of Williams.
Agreed. Williams will be busy as hell, but Pavlik can take the punches. If Pavlik lands, Williams is in trouble. If Williams can play the angle like BHop, hey may be too much...I don't think he can play those angles. He can throw like crazy...but when you throw, you leave yourself open...and Williams has never fought anyone with Pavlik's KO power.
Buen boxeador Pavlik, pero Maravilla Martinez lo noqueará. Es mucho mas veloz y escurridizo, Pavlik es lento, y no se si soportará la pegada de Martínez
Maybe Martinez' chin would hold up, but I doubt it. If he can last 12 rounds, I would give him a good chance to win a decision over Pavlik. Martinez is very good, but not perfect. Either way, these three should all fight in 2010. Would be great for boxing.
Pavlik KO's Martinez. Too big and powerful. If Williams had a touch more power, he would have had Martinez out several times, especially late. Pavlik has that power. Granted, he's not as good as Williams. However, he would find Martinez enough to stop him. Paul Williams beats both.
You all need to shut up about the ghost! He won! For crying out loud! He did what he had to do to beat this particular fighter. You don't fight every fighter the same way. My God he knocked the guy down repeatedly! And its not a matter of wanting or not wanting to fight Williams. Williams will get a shot in due time.
He's good at what he does, but has too many flaws. Like you said, Bhop taught him a lesson. People say how much more experienced LH Bhop was, but he only had 3 fights at 175 before his catch weight fight with Pavlik and was the underdog

Espino was dirty and he paid for it. Kelly punished him on purpose.

I thought it could have gone either way or maybe even a draw but that one judge that gave it 119-110 was way way off. Great Great fight though.

I think martinez won the fight. i am black. Don't be so quick to generalize.
I also know that Kelly Pavlik will KO Paul Williams. Styles make fights. Race does not.

well i'm British and no great fan of Pav...but you have to admit he hits hard, basic and effective, and finishes fights really well.
Strong, hard hitting, good chin, that all makes for a world level boxer who deserves to be where he is.

Yes true, but in this fight he actually dont look like a champion. Cant really put my finger on it, but its something that bother me.

Martinez would stand 12 Round with Pavlik easily, but they will never let him win just like vs. Serena ( Paul ) Williams.
