    Between 2 beloved Argentinian MWs how do you see this exciting fight play out? Would Martinez be able to handle the rugged Roldan by using his speed and reflex to outbox him or can Roldan bull rush his way to put enough hurt on Martinez?

    Geez, talk about contrasting styles! Good matchup.
    Personally I think Sergio might be a little too slick for Roldan. Roldan was as strong as an ox and pretty unconventional, but Sergio's clever use of distance and overall class would be too much for Roldan.
    Juan would be dangerous throughout though, but Sergio wouldn't engage him, keeping the fight where possible at his ideal range.
    Martinez by probably close decision in a good fight.

    I think your analysis is the only way to see this fight playing out.
