Sergio Martinez beats Pavlik for Middleweight Crown


Faster beat Stronger. Sergio Martinez (45-2-2), a fantasy league free agent, used fast combinations and movement around the ring to win a 12-round Unanimous Decision over Kelly Pavlik (36-2). Unfortunately, this means a loss for Andrew's Sweet Chin Music, whose record drops to 4-1-1. The judges cards read 115-111, 116-111 and 115-112 for Martinez. Pavlik did score a flash knockdown in round 7. A bloody Pavlik said he'd like a rematch after the fight.


In the undercard bout, Lucian Bute scored a one-punch knockout of Edison Miranda in round 3. A competitive fight came to a quick halt when Bute unleashed a left uppercut that landed flush on Miranda's chin, sending him to the canvas face-first. Bute moves to 26-0 and Joel B's Ready to Rumble picks up Option A: 2, Option B: 3 and Option C: 18 with the win.
