Tall Lanky Guys Can Never Be Brawlers...

No he didn't Martinez sat back and waited for Williams to make mistakes, which ****ing fight were you watching?

If anything Martinez created space so Williams would lunge in so Martinez could counter him.

huh??? what fight were u watching. he didnt set any traps. martinez came out swinging and got the ko. had nothing to do with waiting for mistakes.

Man, some of you are dumb. Matrinez was very close to the ropes when he countered a lunging Williams. Martinez was setting traps, that was not a lucky shot. That's like saying Mayweather Jr. was lucky to KO Ricky Hatton. No, Mayweather Jr. was setting traps.

Don't bother comparing this to Hagler - Hearns.

[Proff Griff]

Exceptions do not make the rule.


At the highest level if you got a tall lanky brawler he's going to sleep. Exactly like lastnight's fight. You can clearly see every shot Paul caught Martinez with was on top of the head and every shot Martinez caught Williams with was a chin shot.


Martinez employed Hagler's strategy against Hearns. Came out pedal to the metal not giving Williams any space. Knocked him the **** out.


Taller guys have to fight tall and play a rangy game. Against a stockier more power concentrated foe in a shoot-out, they lose way more than they win.

I tend to agree although Hearns didn't do to badly as a brawler in his career.

most guys that are considered tall and lanky are so called because they are too big for a division, usually they are not as strong as the guys natural for the division too, so yea, they should'nt brawl

Would you consider Margarito "lanky"?

what happened when his gloves got unloaded and he fought 2 elite brawlers in Shane and Pac? 1 TKO 1 broken eye socket

What fight were you watching idiot

Martinez was constantly engaging and rushing in to throw combos then tying up. he was pedal to the medal for 1 full round. the 2nd round he caught Paul with 2 overhand rights as Paul came in and finished him the 3rd time but they were both brawling. period.
