ESPN : HBO rejects Sergio Martinez-Andy Lee, pushes for Martinez-Dzinziruk.

Well Floyd is just keeping a low profile right now, I don't know how he feels about the fight now, but I know he was interested in it a month ago. He mentioned fighting the winner of Williams/Martinez on the radio because of the money involved and e also said it after the Mosley fight

I watched a couple of Lee's post Vera fights, and young Andy has not changed. He still has trouble with pressure, and still gets caught by slow-looping right hands. Furthermore, he bleeds from dirty looks. I think Rubio, Manfredo, and David Lopez would all beat him.

 

I think that was before Martinez knocked out pw, thats why we havent heard from him yet. Its not necesary for him to face martinez to prove his balls, people only want pacquiao anyway.

 

HBO should push for Martinez-Cotto.

 

DOn't think they would be able to do jack **** to make that fight. HBO can pull that stunt with smaller promoters or lesser known fighters.

The reason they are looking at Martinez vs. Dzinziruk is:
1. It's because it's probably a better fight, will me more competitive.
2. It's NOT Andy Lee.

 

Really Dzinzurik looks to be a much bigger guy and while i do agree he will test Martinez and possibly beat him i would rather see the Lee fight which would be exciting and this is basically just a tune up to wait to see if either Pac or PBF will fight him.

 

You prefer Matinez vs. Lee over a fight with Dzinzurik? Because it would be EASIER? atsch

 

I imagine they'd make it at 157 or somewhere thereabouts. The middleweight championship is more valuable than whatever crap belt Dzinziruk has.

 

yeah that's the only problem now, because i don't know how Floyd feels about that KO, but I don't know if that'll keep him from facing him.

 

wow....it seems like HBO is not going to be buying any type of fight anymore.


It was senseless of them to be paying Berto those amount of money against bums when they could have been pitting 2 champs together.

 

You must have never seen Sergie fight to make a comment like this:blood...Lee is leagues below Sergie as far as over all skills goes....By no means is Lee the better fight than Sergie. NO WAY!!
