    What everyone knew all along...

    "Weve had the drum beat for a year and a half and eveybody was saying your ducking Martinez. Your god damn right I was ducking Martinez! He wasnt ready to fight Martinez, now hes ready. Whether he beats Martinez I dont know, but hes certainly ready to give a competitive bout."

    @ the scene


    This will be a really good fight. Well see how much punishment each man can take.

    Martinez close UD

    First off, JR definitely needed some seasoning and some confidence, esp after his close fights with the spoiler, Molina.

    He got those big names in Zbik, Lee, and Rubio. He passed all the tests, and now he and his team know he's ready to fight the best in the division.

    He's only, what, 25,26. I mean, in todays terms he's still a baby, esp with his limited amatuer pedigree.:good

    hype.

    **** Arum.

    Arum has the judges paid off, and possibly the ref.

    Either way, I predict Jr. KTFO Martinez.

    Now is the perfect time to ask yourselves, was Pavlik ducking Abraham?

    jr. has def improved greatly over the last year no question.

    They basically waited till there was no other option besides getting stripped and admitting they don't want the fight. This would destroy any creditability chavez would have. Jr. even pulled off having 2 fights while Martinez was his mandatory. if he was able to do a 3rd, he would.

    Now they are in the position to say even if he looses he had balls to fight him.

    Promoting and protecting your fighter at its finest

    That would have to be a comfortable one since i don't expect the judges to be more fair than the ones against Macklin with Ledermann's daughter having it even before the stoppage. :hand
    Martinez seems to be aware that he needs a stoppage to guarantee a win though.

    Nope, timing before Bhop never lined up and AA's money demands post Bhop were astronomical. After Bhop HBO offered a TOTAL purse of $1mill for Pavlik/Sturm.

    The judges in Texas had Andy Lee ahead after 6. Arum doesn't risk paying off judges. Would do too much damage to the Top Rank brand if he got caught.

    Chavez Jr. WASN'T ready.

    What's wrong with this statement?

    Anytime before 9-15-12 this fight is on HBO CB @ best.
    Bob let it simmer to where people will pay... He is a promoter.
    That's what they do.

    Win/lose Arum wins.
