    torres rough and dirty style gave joe problems . first time he had to deal with a fight like that but he got the Win. martinez however is a totally different challange an ihave to admitt im on the bandwagon after the buenma fight. i got martinez by tko in 10 after joe being beaten down from the 1st round on.

    IMHO i see this like a CALZAGHE VS LACY type of match up. young undefeated fighter being thrown in to soon. thing is i think Greens people will save him from himself unlike lacy's people.(by the way im not saying Martinez is comparaeable to joe calzaghe just the match up seem similar)

    I have seen Martinez fight twice, slick, fast hands, pretty tough, and a southpaw.


    Prolly not a good matchup for Joe Greene, although Ive seen nothing from him, hes just inexperienced as you all say.

    So is Joe Green out? Who is Martinez fighting? Anyone know for certain? According to the schedule on fightnews, Green is still fighting.

    The first time I saw him fight was his last golden gloves amateur bout, I was pretty impressed. That dude has some power.

    Martinez vs Santos is on, but has been scheduled for February.

    No idea who or if Green is fighting in January, but whoever it is, it ain't Martinez now.

    No problem chief.

    I'll post it in this thread if I find out what's up with Greene before another thread gets started. :thumbsup
