I think robbed is a bit strong. Could the decision have gone his way? Most definitely and I wouldn’t have flinched. But robbed? Do you really think it was true robbery? But yes, that one judge was either in the pocket, or one of the worst judges on earth.

I think Martinez got robbed. I threw a pillow at my brand new 55″ Samsung LED! A classic example of a more marketable fighter given the win. And that judge should be tied to the stake over an ant hill drizzled with honey, and then set on fire before being pulled apart by horses. Apparently he couldn’t keep his eyes off the girl’s boobs in the second row. In all honesty I think Paul put pressure on him the whole fight which was perfectly countered with authority. Martinez Rocked him time and again.

I just accidentally screamed out loud at work because of how the fight was scored. I have love for both fighters but i found Martinez had the important calculated blows while williams’ were a lot more “rubbery”. These guys are what warriors are made of. Reminded me of the Gatti Ward fights too.

Hahahahaha! Great analogy.

I do wonder if he was forced into this fight somehow and given a “soft” opponent. Seems like it. Hopefully he can come out unscathed.

Definitely not!!.lol

However, Pavlik shouldn’t be fighting anyone if he’s still hurt! I want to see Pavlik at his best.. not a injured fighter. Kelly’s excuse reminds me of a relationship where one person dumps the other one and says.. I’m not ready for a relationship right now.. but has a girl friend a couple weeks later..lol. that person just did NOT want to be in that situation..lol

Would you fight the Punisher with one hand?

I heard the same thing, that Pavlik’s hand is still bothering him.Still curious though.. It makes you wonder why he couldnt fight on the 5th, but he’ll fight 2 weeks later with an unknown fighter that is 20-2…. I could see if he waited til Jan. or Feb to fight, but 2 WEEKS LATER.. give me a break!!

Agree with just about everything you said.

As for Pavlik, the latest thing that I’ve heard is the reason he’s even scheduled to fight is more because of technicalities than anything else. I heard he still can’t fully close the hand that he had the infection in.

Williams won this fight. The term ‘robbed’ does not belong in the Williams-Martinez fight!!! The horrible final score card should have been more like 113-115 for either fighter and people wouldn’t complain. Williams showed us what a true champion is made of! Kelly Pavlik (who has been ducking him for a year now!) escaped a SURE loss to Williams by pulling out of the fight to challenge some ‘scrub’ instead of a REAL champion! Williams on the other hand said.. hey.. if this so called “champ” won fight me I’ll fight the next best champ in the junior welterweight division..Martinez! Martinez has gained me as a fan for sure and I agree that he hit Williams with the cleaner harder COUNTER shots, but Williams pushed the fight and adapted to his opponent and won MORE rounds! There were rounds that could have went either way, how ever you look at this fight, you could make a case that Martinez could not finish Williams off!! Williams showed all of us what a true champ is made of by getting off the canvas (1st career knockdown) and winning more ‘COMPLETE’ rounds. Hats off to both these warriors!!
