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.
ONE of the men convicted of the Essex Boys gangland murders has been freed from prison. Jack Whomes was jailed for life in 1998 alongside Michael Steele for the murders of Tony Tucker, Pat Tate, and Craig Rolfe. The three men were found shot dead in a Range Rover in Rettendon, near Chelmsford, Essex, in 1995. The killings took place after a row over a drug deal, prosecutors said, and the case later inspired the 2000 film Essex Boys starring Sean Bean. A Parole Board panel decided 59-year-old Whomes - who still protests his innocence - was suitable for release back in January.
