    I thought the 2 for the 2 big fights this weekend are pretty bad

    I usually criticize them because i dont think the writer knows his stuff

    SM vs JC, said Sergio takes technique and its not close, well Sergio is an unorthodox kinda fighter and Chavez happens to be arguably the best body puncher in the biz, is body punching that underrated, one of his reasoning that Martinez is a better technician is because Sergio danced in a cage at a club in Spain, is he serious

    SM vs JC gives JC the edge in corner due to Roach, i know Roach is a great trainer and all but what Sergios corner did to his career and turned him into this amazing champion at middle who is knocking out all these guys is something

    SM vs JC they said Sergio has better stamina, I just dont see it, he takes breaks in the middle rounds in many fights and in a fast pace fight with Williams he seemed to really tire in the second half...as opposed to Chavez who seems to have consistent pressure for 12 rounds

    SM vs JC has Martinez the edge in tenacity, id say its pretty even, Martinez can be a very patient fighter, in fact he is very tenacious in bursts, didnt get too tenacious vs Pavlik til he was bleeding bad in the 9th, didnt really get too tenacious with Macklin til after the knockdown, Chavez is very tenacious goes to that body and breaks guys down

    In the Alvarez one they keep talking like Alvarez is this slow fighter for a 154 pounder, maybe his feet arent lightening but his hands are ****ing fast and i think hand speed is one of his best assets

    overall i dont have much to complain about in the Alvarez one
