Like a fighter like Pacquiao, Sergio Martinez looks good against these slow, flat-footed, come-forward, no head-movement fighters, but against pure boxers looks non-elite. Martinez will be an easy fight for Floyd because Martinez gets hit too easily, doesn't know how to adjust, and is pretty much one-dimensional. (I didn't expect to call him a one-dimensional fighter until this fight, but it confirmed it for me. Just like most southpaws, throwing the right jab, looking for the straight left, that's all they do.) Floyd will be landing counter-jabs and straight rights all day for 12 rounds straight. Martinez won't know what to do. Especially the fact that he likes to box but is just not on Floyd's level in terms of skill. Easy fight. I said this would be easier than the Pacquiao fight (say what?!!!) and I still think so.

Here's a better question: which "pure" boxer did Sergio look "non-elite" against? This post has been edited by bnoles4life: Mar 17 2012, 11:10 PM |
