    Ward is fighting someone who for the first time, may be faster than he, and more experienced.

    Martinez is fighting near 40 years old against a young pressure fighter, who has yet to be really hurt and is a cruiserweight on fight night.

    Canelo is fighting a guy who upset the odds against Ortiz, but they say lightening doesn't strike twice- So will Canelo look past him and leave Lopez able to pull another upset?


    Discuss, my ESB family.

    Ward is fighting the most skilled and better fighter of the three my only worry is the weight and how will it affect Dawson hopefully hes not dead at the weight like Oscar was against Pac but hes def on paper the harder task .

    Martinez has been struggling a bit lately at his age you may wake up one day and dont have it anymore with that said i think Martinez still has enough left in the tank to overcame a some though moments and a stern challenge from Jr and win a a clear decision in a competitive fight but i wouldnt rule Chavez out cause the last time Martinez was pressured the way Chavez will pressure him was against Margo back in the day and he lost that fight pretty clearly and by stoppage but it has to be said that hes a much better fighter now and i'll keep my pick of Martinez by clear decision win in a though fight.

    Canelo having watched what Josesito did to Ortiz he will train very hard for this fight and wont take him lightly something he could have done had Josesito gone straight to him without upsetting Ortiz first, Lopez is though and will give his all but he will be outclassed by Canelo and lose a wide decision.

    Toughest Dawson but i put an * next to it cause i dont know how affected he will be by the weight.
    Then Its Chavez whos a very strong kid that will pressure Martinez all night long
    Lastly is Josesito who is good solid fighter but a level or two bellow Canelo and that will show come fight night with Canelo outclassing him over the distance.

    If Ward was fighting at 175, then Ward

    Since he's fighting at 68, then Maravilla

    Maravilla will have a rough night against JCC JR. Jcc Jr ain't no slouch.

    I see both Martinez & Ward having rough nights...
    But Sergio will be the one coming up short.

    Alvarez will go the limit, But Josesito will take the brunt of the punishment.

    this, chavez is a massive 160 fighter, martinez is a small 160 fighter, jr will have a 10 pounds advantage at the very least come fight night. roach eventhough on a bad run is still a great tactically.

    canelo should win easy, if he fights the right fight

    I'm wondering if Top Rank show fight night weights for the Martinez/JR fight. I'm thinking no.

    n i also do not trust Arum at all. hard to see martinez getting a decision unless he absolutely dominates every round big

    Maravilla is a giant slayer he knows how to handle bigger fighters than himself as Floyd and Manny do. His defense will be just one obstacle for Jr. Team Chavez are terribly mistaken if they think this is the same Maravilla that folded vs Margarito who would leave on a stretcher if he faced this version of Sergio. Jrs weight won't even be a factor. Lee is not Maravilla.

    HBO is usually good @ it.
    I'm sure with the amount of interest in the FN weights...
    Let's be honest here tho in "Chavez" FN weight.

    They should have them.

    They didn't show it for the Zbik nor the Lee fights if I recall. I guess we'll see.

    But somehow they knew & talked about it anyway...
    All eyes will be on this matter by the "Media" we will know one way or another.

    This is true. The deck is gonna be stacked against Sergio I'm guessing.
