SERGIO MARTINEZ:"I WANT TO GO DOWN TO 154 Lbs"

he should stay at middle the big fights will come as names are made

 

Sergio is 37, he can't afford to wait around. Can't blame him for trying to make money now. One bad loss for so-so pay to someone like Pirog and his gravey train might be forever over.

 

That is what he was hoping for, for the winner between Chavez Jr/Zbik but by the looks of it Arum already has Chavez Jr. lined up with Cotto next. So Martinez possibility of landing a good payday are getting very slim. Sturm won't fight in the US so Martinez won't be paid as much if he fights in Germany and not to mention that no one gurantees Strum wants the fight. A fight with Pirog sounds good for us the boxing fans but not too good for Sergio since Pirog won't land him a big payday and might "possibly" end his momentum.

 

This cant be true because Sergio cant make 154 according to *******s. :rofl:rofl:rofl Suckas hes coming for Manny and Floyd.

 

Can he still make the weight

 

he's on the wrong network and wrong promoter to get exposure at this point.

 

I'll say good plan . . . he should then unify the 154 belts.

 

no1 at 160?

ward said after the tournament he'd b willing to go down to 160 and fight serg

but of course the middleweight champ serg only wants to call out welters

 

Please, please show me that quote. There is no way Ward goes to 160. He said on his twitter after the Dzinziruk fight that he'd love to take him on, but that fight definitely would not take place anywhere near the middleweight limit.

 

it was on yahoo, soon after serg won his last fight and they were talking about possible possibilities

ward specifically said i'd b willing to go down to 160, it'd b hard, but i'd be willing to if serg wanted to

look it up if u have time

 

Link for that please.

Ward hasn't fought at middleweight for years.

Edit:answered above

 

I want to see Pac-Cotto II at 147

 

folks would still say cotto is drained

or manny softened him up even more

ONLY FIGHT IS MANNY VS LIL FLOYD

manny shouldn't fight anymore unless its with lil floyd

everyone else, there'll always be an excuse

 

Here is is:

 

This is the closest I have found: http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/37458

I'd believe when I see it. Martinez probably even isn't the "right guy" since he brings no money (and probably does not fit the description for a HUGE fight), and I very much doubt that Ward could make that weight anyway. In any case, Ward is going to have to fight Abraham, Forch/Johnson, and Kessler-Bute over the next year and a half. What do you think Martinez should do in the meantime? Are you still hoping to see him fight JOSH CLOTTEY?
