Martinez is one funny dude

[zhubin]

I must be the only one that feels Chavez will win.

I actually think he might win as well. Martinez is clearly the better boxer...and I will be rooting for him. BUT...the size difference is frightening. At the promotional conferences they hold...Chavez looks so much bigger than Sergio. Can Martinez dance and keep the fight on the outside the whole 12 rounds? Or will Chavez cut off the ring and wear him down. Martinez is a warrior and these two have been talking a lot of smack...so you know at some point he is going to want to trade with the much bigger guy. Chavez is clearly using something to cut weight...his testing history has been beyond shady. But he should be coming in on fight night 180 pounds +!! This going to be a really exciting fight.

Yeah I think Chavez is a hard working dude. He will stay fit and strong and his strength will just be a sickening factor in the fight. I think Martinez will look feeble.

I agree with this. The size difference is the only reason I have any question at all about this fight (though I still favor Martinez). But really, Martinez is a natural 154-pounder; Chavez is at least a natural 168-pounder but I think he'll end up at 175 and is maybe of that natural weight already.

If you look at the history of boxing and those matches where size was the factor, there are fighters that were smaller in stature or just plain thinner than the giants they were facing but speed often negates power because you have to have a target. If Chavez is forced to chase Martinez and Martinez makes him miss, remember that fatigue makes cowards of even the best fighters and ability. If that jab of Martinez becomes a factor then a TKO Might be possible for the so called smaller man and inn training camp the weight factor considered, Chavez may strip some of that muscle he allegedly has. Ever time you have to come down twenty pounds or more you lose muscle and re hydrating is water weight at best. He might be better off moving up because you can only go to the well just so many times. On certain nights David can kick Goliath's ass with ease.

As most have mentioned size is the only thing that makes me debate the outcome. Then again I'm not sure i'tll even be a factor. hell zbik gave chavez hell(elsewhere and that fight could have gone in zbiks favor) and he got a schooling from sturm, and that fight wasn't that long ago...I actually think martinez might look spectacular in this because hell have a big forward moving target...then again with martinez style and his age who knows

But, it can't be denied that Junior looked good against Lee. The circumstances surrounding the fight are a bit suspicious, however.
