Chavez/Martinez about 95% done. Should sign this weekend.

arum yesterday i was lying today im telling the truth

 

This is really pisses me off though when you think about it, the martinez who beat pavlik would have completely chewed up and spit out this current Chavez, now that Martinez is near 40 and slowing down and considering his style is completely dependent on his athleticism this **** is bull**** goddman ****ing chavez is such a *****.

 

should be a good fight at this stage.

Chavez HAS looked better, and Martinez was kind'a lack luster against Macklin and Barker + he IS going on 40 and I don't care who you are age catches you sooner or later....and the style Martinez uses relies heavy on hands down **** with reflexes.

 

phantasma, good post, pretty much what I was trying to say too.

except for the being a ***** part of course

 

The he is "40" guys are coming out.

 

:bart

That's ****ed up. You gonna go and let this dude off that easy??

You even got me watchin' what I say about JR around here, and I usually straight don't give a ****!

 

Regardless, Canelo-Williams was officially and publicly announced long before Martinez-Chavez at the most desirable venue in Vegas.

Of course, though I hope those who naively think Arum/DuBoef are truly and deeply concerned about the health of the sport and believe all of their flowery rhetoric recognize that this kind of kamikaze move is exactly the sort of thing that further marginalizes it.

 

You best believe it.

Mother ****er is almost 40 mayne!

fights in a hands down style that is all about reflexes.

He ain't in there with Old spoiler tricks like B-Hops

 

I don't care what people on this forum say. Chavez and Top Rank refused to sign anything close to a binding contract for the fight (and even continue to do so at the moment), and only publicly announced something approaching an official date well after Golden Boy had secured agreements with the MGM and Showtime.
