How would sergio have faired against the version of lee chavez faced

Pavlik, in spite of what most think, was able to cut the ring off on Martinez. It was doing something with that during the first four rounds that was a problem because Martinez was just looking to counter punch. I don't see Jr doing as well keeping Martinez where he needs him to be. Martinez still packs one hell of a punch and I just don't see Jr. walking through them to impose his will. Pavlik admits in the 9th he got lazy with a punch and we see what happened to him.

 

Lee/Martinez is a COMPLETELY different type of fight for Lee. . . It's a lot easier, IMO. . .

Not necessarily to "win", but as far as getting pressured, and knocked out, I doubt he would. . .

Sergio would probably win a 12 round decision, similar to how he beat Pavlik - Lee would outbox him with the longer jab for a few rounds, timing Sergio, but Sergio's speed, and natural abilities would take over. .

116-112 Martinez UD in a chess match type fight, but with some limited exchanges, and clean shots, etc. . .


Chavez is a completely different animal, and is THE WORST style for a guy like Lee. . .

 

And Lee is better than Macklin, and I think Lee sparks out Williams to. . .

BUt he's a level below Pavlik overall - he's a better boxer/outside fighter, but Pavlik's punch, and stamina make him overall a level above.
