Boxing Picks: Kelly Pavlik vs. Sergio Martinez Odds: In a classic boxer vs. pucher match-up at the highest level of boxing, hard-hitting middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik will face stylist Sergio Martinez. The #1 ranked Jr. middleweight Martinez, 44-2-2, 24 KO’s, is a spoiler that most recently gave one of the best pound-4-pound fighters in the world Paul Williams a run for his money in a close decision loss. Pavlik, 36-1, 30 KO’s, has battled hand injuries on his way back from a one-sided loss to Bernard Hopkins October of 08”. Their have been whispers around boxing circles that Pavlik is damaged goods with less than impressive wins in his last two bouts against fringe contenders Miguel Espino and Marco Antonio Rubio and is out to prove he is still the man at 160 Lbs. tonight. The 12-round main event will aired on HBO Championship Boxing at 10 PM ET.
 

Boxing Picks Analysis: Both of these fighters are battle tested veterans that are in their respective primes. Pavlik has gotten a lot of critiscism for his loss to Hopkins but it was simply a bad stylistic match-up for him against a true master of the game. Martinez has flown under the radar for a while but quietly he has established himself as one of the smoothest boxers on the planet. Kelly Pavlik made his bones in the fight game blowing guys away with his impressive offensive assaults that are complemented by subtle boxing skill. The Kelly Pavlik vs. Sergio Martinez Odds Total is at 11.5 Rounds with the Under at -130 boxing betting odds.

Both men are dedicated and durable pro’s that can do a little of everything: box, slug or counterpunch. Martinez is the faster and slicker fighter but Pavlik is bigger and more powerful. We have these fighters almost neck and neck when we line them up but Pavlik’s size, body punching and workrate should see him through to a close decision win.
