this is going to be a hell of a fight dzinziruk has the best jab in boxing right now... i'm interested to see how maravilla handles the razor--but i don't doubt that he will maravilla 8-4 or 9-3
I agree with this. Dzinziruk has a great record to add to Martinez' resume, while trying to set up bigger things. Make no mistake, Martinez can not afford to under estimate the 37-0 Dzinziruk at all, who is no bum.
I'm not too impressed with Dzinziruk's performance against Julio or Konecny. While I think he's very skilled, I don't think he has the heart to take the fight from Martinez when things get tough. If he gets pushed by Martinez, I'm thinking Dzinziruk will be content to just survive/coast.
Obviously Dzin is a good boxer, but I think his recent streak of inactivty, mixed with moving up, will be working against him in a big way.
I going with Martinez on this one. Look at the last four opponents each has faced. Martinez skills are sharper because of the current opposition he has faced, Martinez is slightly faster and has like a 6" reach advantage on the Ukranian Champ. Maravilla by UD!!!
Correct, but I think It's Dzinziruk who is underestimatinig Martinez in this fight, by calling him slow. Dzin is going to be in for a surprise when he starts getting tagged by fast shot from various angles.
I'm really looking forward to this fight. Dzin's the best pure boxer Martinez will have fought, and Martinez will be the toughest, best fighter Sergiy's been in against. Martinez is a favorite to me, but certainly not an overwhelming one. Can't wait to see how this one turns out! Between this and Bradley-Alexander, HBO's slowly getting me to not be as pissed at them for their horrible, biased commentary.
