Drug cheat. They stole Martinez's WBC belt to give to him. Arum initially refused the Lee fight because JCCJ didn't want to fight a southpaw:-(.
What's the age and experience difference between a "green" Molina and a can crushing Jr? Molina is highly respected in this sport because he is in the fight with every top guy he fights. And he beats some of em and is robbed. I had the first fight a draw and had Jr eeking out their second one. Green or not, Molina has the edge in overall exp. :nono And whether I stand alone in my assessment of Macklin, oh well. He's tough and gritty, but he's still Blevel IMO....just a different style of that level than Rubio......who has been on the highest level in the past....somewhere Mack would never be.
Drug test ducking, diuretics using, walks into the ring almost a heavyweight, freddie mercury looking, gift-decision receiving protected daddy's boy
A lot of the hate towards Jr. should actually be directed at Arum and Sr. After all, Sr. fought about the same level of competition, probably worse, for most of his career. People resented that. Now, Arum is doing the same with Jr. The kid might actually want to get in the ring and take his shot at being the best. But, Arum will not risk his new cash cow. Especially with Manny on the way out.
Molina had a whopping 7 amateur fights prior to facing Chavez and 9 professional fights, so Chavez was in fact the more experienced fighter when he stepped into the ring with him by total number of fights. Could you remind me when exactly Rubio was on the highest level? Was it when he looked awful against Pavlik or was it when he proceeded to fight a bunch of soft opponents?
Team Jr. waited until Martinez looked **** to consider a fight, but they are making a grave mistake if they think Sexy is done. I respect every fighter who steps into the ring, but why should I give extra credit to a fighter who stole the Champion's belt and waited 2 years to give him a shot? Nothing against Jr., but for the sake of boxing Sexy should put Top Rank and the WBC to it's place even though it's not gonna be easy to take down the 180lbs "middleweight".
Pavlik seemed surprised that Chavez/Martinez was 'just about done'. He still seems to think he may get Martinez this fall. Don't count the Chavez/Martinez fight made just yet. Sergio was claiming he wouldn't do it without OSDT and he is in no position to demand that. He seems to think he can fight for a vacated title if he holds out for OSDT and Chavez refuses. Does MARTINEZ really want this fight or has he decided Jr. is just too damned big for him?
He has been given ridiculous advantages throughout his career, oftentimes to the detriment of hard working honest fighters. Television companies, sanctioning bodies, promoters, referees and judges have all bent over to accommadate this drug cheat. **** Chavez Jr, hope Andy Lee knocks him out.
