As far as the Martinez/Chavez fight I still give the edge to Martinez.
Chavez will impose his size and strength, and Martinez will get roughed up and bullied for sure. But, last night Lee landed two of his best shots in a straight left and a right hook up top. Those are coincidentally Martinez's two best punches, not too mention the jab Lee kept landing. As much as Martinez will get in close to land his shots, I don't believe he will trade punches with Chavez. IMO, he will circle and land his overhand left/straight with right hook over the top ( similar to what Pacquiao does) and box Chavez's ear off if not stopping him from Julio taking too much flush shots. I would be really surprised if Chavez was stopped though.
Truth be told Chavez is A LOT closer to Martinez's stable mate Gabriel Campillo's size than Sergio's size.
Still think Sergio would school him, but there would be some rough spots as Chavez is very determined, strong and a good body puncher.
