Top Rank debuted their new Livestream service for today's weigh-in in Atlantic City, and both middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik and tomorrow's challenger Sergio Martinez came in at 159 1/2 pounds. Both looked in pretty good shape. Martinez was ripped, and both of them did some jawing and taunting. For once, it actually just seemed like they were both hyped up and ready to go.
The crowd was pretty loud in Atlantic City, which has become Pavlik's home away from home. The crowd was, as you'd expect, very pro-Pavlik, and Martinez played his heel role pretty well and whipped everything up.
TRLivestream continues tomorrow with the full off-HBO undercard from Atlantic City, featuring Ronald Hearns-Delray Raines, plus Dominick Guinn is in action. Everything will be available at TopRank.com.
In Quebec, Lucian Bute and Edison Miranda both came in at 167 pounds for their super middleweight title fight.

A Dominick Guinn fight is almost enough of a reason not to go
But I really do want to see Matt Korobov and Glen Tapia.

He is such a pretty boy….
It would really be easy to hate on Martinez if he was an asshole but for all intents and purposes… he is one of the better guys in boxing. He has just been on the wrong end of things too many times.

Eddie Miranda will choke---AGAIN!
Look, Ed Miranda is a crowd pleaser with his style but, the dude ain’t all that good of a fighter…… Chances are Miranda will get TKO’d by Lucian Bute…… Miranda cannot win the big one……… Not yet anyway…….

You can’t choke if nobody thinks you can win, and nobody thinks he can win.

I guess he could choke in-fight, like if he built up a big lead and blew it. But we agree that’s not happening. Bute oughta smoke him.

I think this will be an uglier fight than most guys think… but with the ugly ending that most guys think too, with Miranda stretched flat. I can see a few competitive rounds, though. Or weird, hard to score ones, at least.

I don’t care what the logic says… I think Martinez will shine vs Pavlik.

Don't blink
