    Martinez by UD.

    Basically better in every way.

    Wake me up the day TLC picks a fighter who fought before his opponent.

    Could go either way this one, I'd slightly towards Martinez

    Martinez is the much better fighter, but I cant help but think that after schooling G-man early, he has his customary mid round lull, and gets clocked.

    If he survives the mid rounds... then he wins a clear UD.

    McClellan was, as we know now, a fundamentally flawed fighter, in terms of his physical make up. He was pre-disposed to being hurt.

    McClellan struggled with slick fighters and in fact had losses to same, long before he got around to stopping Jackson, Mugabi and fighting Benn.

    McClellan was a little bit mechanical too, jab, right hand, left hook downstairs.

    This is what I'm thinking as well. I don't know why, but for some reason I can see this being a repeat of Martinez-Pavlik... only I question whether or not Martinez gets up if McClellan catches him clean with something big.
