Is Macklin a better challenge for Martinez than Chavez JR?

yes

 

At least he is not an over hyped Matchroom fighter,so Macklin has a better chance.

 

i think
so

 

Probably.

 

I dont think so

Macklin threw a lot at Sturm but didnt have much behind it and was open when he threw

I think Martinez picks him apart

Now Chavez is not quite ready for Martinez but he is a big man and may be able to corner or trap Sergio and impose himself

with the right strategy he can wear down Martinez who tires and takes breaks in fights to get air

 

Martinez will look like prime RJJ in there, assuming he doesn't get old on Saturday.

Chavez Jr is huge on fight night, would be interesting to see if Sergio can slow him down.
