    I haven't seen Chavez Jr before but he looked pretty good to me. Just walked all over Lee.Not even competitive.

    Chavez is average at best. If he ever fights anybody his own size who can punch he'll take a well-deserved beating.

    He keeps calling out Martinez like a rooster and yet people would have to be stupid to think that he would fight him with all that bravado unless he would get a bunch of advantages. If Arum thinks Martinez is going to fight him in a ring the size of a ten cent stamp, allow him to bring his own gloves, with an Arum ref in Texas and ignore the new same day weigh in rule effective June 30th he needs to give his head a shake. Even tonight they somehow got a pass on the piss test and that’s with day before weigh ins.

    Chavez fought very well tonight, he's an extremely slow starter, but he's very deliberate with his punches and seems to pack quite a wallop.

    Takes a good shot too, of course he is a 180 + lb man fighting a 165 lb man.

    Martinez is even smaller than Lee, but faster and more skilled also with more punching power or at least accuracy.

    I think Chavez has a shot in that fight due to his size, youth, drive and toughness. Having Roach in his corner doesn't hurt him either.

    I'll go with Martinez though if they do end up fighting, his class should shine through despite the huge size disadvantage.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    Like it or not, Martinez will take the fight on whatever terms Chavez's team dictates. Chavez is the economically more substantial fighter, so that's just how it works, like it or not. Personally, I think Chavez has a much better chance to win than I thought 24 hours ago. Keep in mind, Martinez had some struggles with freakin' Darren Baker and Matthew Macklin before closing strong, so let's not pretend like he's unbeatable. He's a touch overrated, frankly. Chavez's size and body work give him a solid chance.

    Lou DiBella confirms Chavez-Martinez is a done deal

    It's on the twitter section on ESPN's boxing page.

    I never suggested anything about Martinez other then he's not going to succumb to Arums fixing and you can bank that. I'd rather see him melt down and fight Floyd at 154 then fight this cruiser weight posing as a middle weight champion,

    Its all moot anyway since same day weigh ins will be in effect at the end in of this month and Chavez's camp has already said Lee was his last fight at 160. Martinez is not going to allow the deck to be loaded against him.

    I mean really...think about it, he was allowed to bring his own gloves to a championship fight and refused to weigh them wtf?

    That is like sanctioning Resto's gloves prior to the Collins fight,

    Do no something JCC Jr is not to bad a fighter, he's better than most people think not saying he's a superstar but a solid Champion none the lest.
    I feel he's coming out of his Fathers shadow, and we should not judge just because his Father was a modern great Jr, is his own man he's proven a good few people wrong egg on the face job.

    For what it is worth, I had Chavez up 4-2 at the time the fight ended. Also, while Chavez may well have been 175 at fight time, there's no way on earth that Lee wasn't as well. Not having seen Chavez before, and reading the disregard in which he is held on-line, I wasn't expecting much. But I thought he fought really well, he is a much better fighter than Lee.
    He reminded me of his father with his patient start (there is a difference between starting slow and taking your time), and once he got Lee sorted out and dialed in, he made him fight his fight and beat him down. It is easy to say he should have moved and jabbed, but it is less easy to do when a guy is cutting off the ring and keeping you in front of him. Doesn't strike me that 'sticking and moving' in Lee's game anyway. As to the ring size, Lee's trainer and manager knows the game pretty good himself. If he thought it would be an issue, he has never been known to be shy.
