Christian Mbilli vs Lester Martinez II - WBC orders a rematch

Heck yeah. It was my fight of the year for 2025. This one should be the tits as well!

 

Hell yes bring it on. That was one of the best fights from last year with no clear winner. They definitely need to run it back with a more conclusive outcome.

 

I have a feeling someone gets stopped this time but don't know who.

Mbilli landed a lot more but seemed to have lesser effect.
Lester the bigger puncher and definitely wobbled Mbilli more but did the last fight take a few years off him?

Will be tuning in

 

Excellent, two high quality fighters, look forward to it.

 

beating the **** out of each other... would love to see them extend their careers by fighting other men

 

First fight was great, WBC title implications, I think its good to have a rematch

 

The first fight was great so a rematch is very welcome. I feel the dynamics of a rematch will favour Martinez if he makes the necessary adjustments; in the first fight he possibly showed too much bravado, obliging Mbilli by fighting in the pocket and neutering some of his own advantages in the process. If Martinez can make sure more of the fight is fought and long and mid-range, where he can land his punches at full extension, then he could very well stop Mbilli.

 

This is a fight I need to re sit with, I was pre occupied at the time, or maybe just getting up for the Crawford fight so couldn’t judge properly,

Now Mbilli - Martinez would be for the world title. The WBC, in which Canelo is ranked No. 1, I think that in some time they will start talking about a possible Mbilli - Canelo fight.

 

I don't think Martinez will knock out Mbilli in a rematch. We'll see what the ring says.

 

A very entertaining slugfest, I hope there's a rematch.
