    That's true, those two Knock Downs vs Williams and Pavlik were due to bad balance. Margarito did beat Martinez pero ya tiene mas de una decada. A el rruquillo Marquez lo tumban cada rato pero es el numero uno del mundo, el canelo y el junior no se comparan. Que gane el mejor.

    Williams wobbled him badly and had him holding on in their first fight. I think it was at the end of round 3 or 4.

    Seemed hurt. But nothing huge or alarming. He had enough about him to hold on. Would have been interesting if it didn't happen at the end of the round.

    Sergio's chin was suspect @ 154lbs. (weight cut??)
    He has a better than average beard @160lbs tho: 7-8/10

    His body on the other hand???
    Sergio might need to make a decision to expend all that energy on movement or go for it.
    (The longer he wait's & trades with the younger stronger Chavez it's bad news)

    at 23:00 he eats a clean shot right on the chin.

    and at 30:39. there are many clean shots williams landed in this fight.

    Chavez would tear Serghoe body apart.

    Definitely would have been, because Martinez seemed to be rattled pretty good to me. Either his legs went or he didn't trust them, because he was immediately clinching and it almost looked like he was trying to steady himself at one point on the ref's shoulder. He also looked out of it once he got back to the corner.

    Either way, I think that was the worse he's been hurt since the first Richard Williams fight.

    Most of his knockdowns that I have seen seem to be due to balance more than anything. Talking about the KD vs Pavlik and Williams. Seems to have a good chin, fought well even though his nose was pretty much broken against Barker.

    Richard Williams knocked him down twice in their first fight.
