Sergio Gabriel Martínez vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. II

Maravilla seems like a smart guy, though, I'm sure he invested wisely during his time on top...plus he's a celebrity in two countries (his adopted home base of half a dozen years, Spain, as well as his native Argentina), with a stable of fighters he promotes & manages on both sides of the Atlantic. Pretty sure he still has Spanish/Argentine endorsement deals, too. He can't be hurting that badly.

I think he's the sort to come back for love of the game, or because the way things finished off left a bitter taste in his mouth.

 

How much credit do we give Maravilla if he pulls this off, with all the factors stacked against him? Will the accomplishment be dismissed because of Carrasco's decline (and having never been that good to begin with; I mean he did lose 11 rounds clearly in their last encounter...) or would this rank among the ATG comebacks? Somewhere about circa Acelino Freitas vs. Michael Oliveira territory? Vitali Klitschko vs. Samuel Peter? Henry Maske vs. Virgil Hill II?

 

In the US? Who knows.

I seriously doubt this happening anywhere other than Mexico, though, considering that JCC Sr. is the one that pushed for it and organized/mediated the whole thing.

 

I'm pretty sure Mexican commissions would clear a Chavez Sr. vs. Roger Mayweather II and just rubber stamp their medical screens without either of them ever having to remove his pants.

 

Oh ****, orrrrrr maybe the NSAC is playing ball.
