Chavez Jr will stop Martinez inside 8. You heard it here first!!

:huh

Are you talking about the fight where he knocked Williams the hell out (No offence to Williams)

How in the bloody hell was that close?

 

Sergio will destroy Chavez

 

I'm sure he's talking about the first fight...a great fight by any standard.

 

ESB is going to be fun on the 16th

 

I like both Chavez Jr and Martinez. I just hope for a good fight that is highly competitive and exciting until the very end. I hope it's not a one-sided beatdown either way.

Chavez's size, strength, bodywork, infighting ability, and power could all trouble Martinez greatly if Chavez can get into close range and beat him down with those short hooks and uppercuts. Closing the distance won't be easy though: Chavez will have to have better head movement then he's ever shown in his life, and keep his hands high constantly to jab and shoot the straight right at Sergio whenever his hands are down to help himself close the distance. Then he'll just have to hammer him in close on the ropes or in the corners to the body and head.

If he finds he can't disrespect Martinez's shots the same way he did Andy Lee's or Rubio's, he might be in for a long night. He has to just get in bodywork and lean on Martinez constantly early in the fight to wear and tire the older man out. His only chance is to win a grinding battle of attrition and TKO Martinez late as you said. I don't think he could decision him or win early in the fight.

I won't bet on it. It's tough to even root against either of them. I like Chavez Jr. because people have underrated him and **** on him for a long time, and it's nice to see that he's developed into a fine fighter and is finally starting to carve his own legacy apart from his father. If he beat Martinez, it'd be a great story, and I'd be happy for him. On the other hand, I find Martinez's style a little more exciting, dynamic, and unique (even though Chavez's style is brutally entertaining in its own way as well.) If Martinez wins, we'll see some more big fights at middleweight (maybe even vs. Golovkin), whereas Chavez Jr. is likely headed to 168 after this fight.

This is probably my most anticipated fight of this year. I can't wait for this Saturday.

 

I think is going to be a great fight. I'm not sure how Martinez is going to prevent Jr from getting inside. Jr needs to stay in the middle of the ring and avoid chasing Martinez.

 

Chavez Jr. came off awkward in the first 24/7 talkin shyt towards the end....almost like a kid really...he is young though.

I think he will show a ton of heart but Martinez is going to win a wide UD...i dont think he will KO Jr though.

 

Sexy Sergio wont look so sexy after this match

 

Martinez has no defence? That's coming from a CHAVEZ JR fan? OMG.

 

Martinez will be too good for jr. should be a great fight though

 

I can't wait for this fight, it will definately be a war. I like both fighters, although I prefer Martinez's personality and work ethic. I honestly would be happy if either of them won, I just want a great fight. I do give the slight edge to Jr. because of his pressure, chin, power, and body work.

 

Martinez will blow the overrated Chavez out of the water.........wait n see.

 

I think Chavez will surprise a few people with a brave performance that belies his bad attitude and lack of top level experience but I think Martinez will stop him very late when Jnr has given his all and runs out of gas.
