In a much-anticipated rematch, WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez demolished former champion Paul Williams on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey before a 5,502 crowd. An explosive left hook on the jaw dropped Williams face first for the count 1:10 into round two.
“I was waiting for a mistake and I was surprised when it happened so soon,” Martinez said after his 25th knockout improved his record to 46-2-2. “I didn’t want the judges to rob me this time.”
There first fight in 2009 ended in controversial with many believing Martinez should have won, but Martinez’ sudden one-punch finisher put a shocking and definitive end to the rivalry. The rematch won’t win any Fight of the Year honors, but it is certainly the Knockout of the Year and has to be a candidate for Knockout of the Decade.
Great KO. I am praying for Sergio Martinez to meet Felix Sturm, it would be a great fight.
it’s a middleweight fight,,so heavy 4 Pacquiao,,let’s Martinez fight Pacman in welterweight division,,let’s see who is the great fighter would be!!!
Martinez must have studied Pacquiao’s no-look left hook that KOed Hatton.
Wow. No-look punches nowadays are become popular. Pacquiao KOed Hatton with a no-look punch. This time, it’s Martinez KOing Paul William with also a no-look punch. Both punches, by the way are left hooks.
Very impressive! If he was robed on the first one, this one left no doubt who was going to win it!This is a good way to say goodbye to a good year of boxing, and we still have good fights left!
LOL
Damn that was great, I am glad P-Williams was ok he had me a little worried when I was done cheering and he was still down.Definitely K.O. of the year.way to go Martinez!!
Paul Williams just qualified to fight Manny Pacquiao on his next exhibition fight.
Wow: I thought he would get the ko, but I did think it would be a one punch demolition. Nice job Martinez
