Sergio Martinez Defeats Kelly Pavlik
Sergio Martinez, 45-2-2, 24 KO’s, actually got a fair shake and also picked up the WBC and WBO Middleweight Titles from the powerful Kelly Pavlik, 36-2, 32 KO’s, via unanimous decision by scores of 115-111, 116-111, and 115-112. From the opening round, Martinez used his speed to confuse and outwork Pavlik. In the middle rounds, Pavlik began to take control, using his jab and scored a knockdown with a right hand. In the third part of the fight, Martinez came back and cut Pavlik and took over the fight and left little doubt in the end.
