im sorry but sergio win is tainted because of the ending

Macklin I think was ahead on the cards until 10th-11th rounds, unfortunately he tends to gas out a little in the late rounds due to his high workrate. Don't forget Macklin beat Sturm but was robbed the decision.

 

Chavez only tagged him because Sergio stumbled while going backwards. That caused Maravilla to drop his guard, give Chavez a wide-open shot. A total gift from the gods.

Watch the fight again if you don't believe me.

- And then Sergio was fine 20 seconds later and still made it an even round.


Chavez has only a strong left & a thick skull. Absolutely nothing else.

 

Bull****. Chavez caught him with the same looping right shot earlier in the fight but it had less on it cause Martinez was moving laterally. This time he just happened to move backwards with his usual hands down ****. He got caught, it happens.

 

I thought both guys came out looking like studs because of the final round.

Sergio was whooping Jr's ass the whole fight and it looked like a the emperor has lost his clothes moment then he digs deep and put every single bit of heart he had on display. Loved that.

Then Sergio looks like he might be finished if he doesn't act like a coward, clinch and try and survive, so what does he do? He grabs his big balls, grows a beard and with actions, says, "if I'm going down, I'm going down fighting!"

It was awesome.

Both guys had their status raised in that final round and if you don't agree, then you don't know what makes boxing great.

 

no. sergio dominated him through and through.

 

Very true. Great point.

 

The last round added some amazing drama to the fight but Martinez was clearly the better man. If the proposed re-match happens, I'd expect him to be more careful down the stretch and take another comprehensive points win.

 

How quickly they forget, Macklin dropped Sergio as well, and was actually winning most of that fight, at the time of the stoppage it was neck and neck. The difference here between Macklin and Chavez is Macklin is a good world level fighter who was winning or at least tied up when he gassed out and was stopped. Where as Jr. got schooled, and was never in the fight until the last round when he connected with his last ditch effort, and scored a knockdown, but did **** all else. While proving he never should have had a world title belt, or shared the same ring with Sergio in the first place :hey

 

Is it that hard to credit both guys?

Martinez put on a clinic. Chavez never gave up and came close to securing a victory which would have been legendary for years to come.

A rematch isn't a bad idea at all. Let Geale and Golovkin fight whilst these two rematch. Then the winners can square off and declare themselves pretty undisputed champion.

 

I thought he showed alot of heart to fight back and not just hold and run. If anything, it enhanced the win.

 

You say that, but I bet Chavez Jr. beats him. It's a style thing.

If they fight, and if you remember this, remind me and I will bet you Macklin wins. Deal?
