'Idol' Martinez recovers from injuries post-Chavez | RingTV

That will mean at least 6 months out of action.

I just hope he can recover, he's got a place in boxing royalty now, but still needs a big pay day to retire on.

So let me get this straight.

Martinez broke his hand on Chavez's melon head in the 4th round... he also suffered torn knee ligaments.... and STILL he managed to kick Junior's ass while giving him the boxing lesson of his life. All this while making half what Junior made for the fight.

Shit! Imagine what he would've done to Junior without those injuries.

Just the thought of it almost makes me wish for a rematch.
"Almost"....... though, because Junior doesn't fucking deserve a rematch.

Then he needs to get a fight with geale!

That might be why he stayed down in pain when Chavez leaned his body (20lbs+) on his back, causing him to collapse on the floor.

Did you know that Junior refused to get on the scales at fight time. It is rumored that Junior weighed 185. If the WBC rule is put in place for same day weigh ins, Junior can't fight at middleweight any longer. Roach talked about Junior moving up in weight. Martinez weighed 167.
