So HBO wants Martinez - Dzinziruk for March 12.

dzindzuruk and pirog are completely different classes of fighters. one is coming off his defining victory to date, and has yet to defend. the other is a long reigning champ who is seen by most as the best 154 fighter today.

martinez would be nuts turning down the dzindzuruk fight.

 

Angulo has to drive across many states to get to that fight, and was fatigued by fight time.
Angulo could KO Cintron 10 out of 10 times, under nornal conditions.

 

Yup I'm sure he would.

 

I would much rather have Martinez vs Dzin than Martinez vs Lee!

Maritnez is not picking on JUST a "smaller" guy either (Dzin does fight ONE division under Martinez but it will be like complaining if Pac/Berto/Mayweather pick on Bradley/Alexander/Khan fight :bbb) as Dzin is presumblaby the best at 154lbs and is no EASY FIGHT. Dzin is or should be consider the best at 154lbs but since he doesn't have a "name" or isn't a "draw" none of the other 154lbs mention him as a possible fight. Dzinziruk could be a GREAT name on Martinez resume or vice versa as this fight can go either way.

 

I think I read that HBO is trying to force this fight on Martinez. Honestly, I think Dzinziruk is good and his jab is awesome, but I think he loses a wide points decision.

 

Im tired of this. Martinez is the middlewight champ stop thinking he is a 154lber the last few middleweight kings feasted on the weight below when you have real tough guys like Sturm Pirog and Golovkin

 

Dzinziruk has a clause that says he makes at least 775k. hbo paying 1.5 mil for this fight is pretty hefty. thus if they pay 1.5 mil for fight...serg makes 750k. so you can understand why he doesn't want this fight. they are better off fighting andy lee for that much then slowly building his name up.

 

Yet Martinez said he was willing to fight all the guys below. Notice how half of them are old, green 154lbers, or have no more name recognition as Dzinziruk or Pirog.

Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Paul Williams, Alfredo Angulo, Kermit Cintron, Antonio Margarito, Vanes Martirosyan, Sergio Mora, Luis Collazo, Alfonso Gomez, Felix Sturm, Cory Spinks, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.-John Duddy fight.

Angulo, Cintron but not Dzinziruk the champion

Mora, Martyrosian, Collozo, Gomez, Sturm, Spinks - these guys are big names and/or draws?

The "not enough of a name" excuse for dzinziruk and Pirog seems like a bull**** excuse considering his willingness to fight worse fighters with little to no fan base. How do you not classify that as a duck?

Angulo was the WBO interm belt holder, Dzinziruk the real WBO Champion. Angulo avoided him even to the point that his promoter Shaw signed Sergiy just so he could ensure that his mexicunt Angulo didn't have to get embarrassed by Dzinziruk.

and if Angulo did what he did in Mexico rather than the US he would be facing 10 years in prison. He's lucky he was a 2x illegal immigrant in the AA loving US instead of Mexico otherwise he'd be behind bars for a long ****ing time.

 

they need to come up/out with an undercard cuz if its not great im just instead gonna go to zab judah fight at the pru via tha path (subway)

 

...........well, at least he has stopped calling out the 147's.

 

Um. Magic. this fight is done. It's up on fightnews and sergio is already in
training for it. I'm excited!

 

I would say Dzinziruk gets KO'd buy Martinez
and Pirogs just to green. Course he would fight Martinez - that would be BIG money to him but they shouldn't do it.
