I have forever been a Martinez fan... (forever being circa '07 with his KOof Roman... not exactly forever ) That being said, I see this as a defining fight for Martinez like never before.

When Martinez originally beat lost to Williams, I saw that he could fight with the big dogs, win or lose.

When he fought Pavlik he showed the intestinal fortitude to withstand a mid-fight rally to not just win, but take the MW championship.

With his vicious KO of Williams in their second bout it was quite clear that homeboy had solidified himself as a player... Not only in the division, but P4P.

Fast forward 2 years. The well maintained Martinez has now been on a preverbal shelf fighting very good, albeit unknown opposition in Title holder Dzinziruk, Barker, and Macklin...

(Let's not forget that he lost his trainer for Pablo… who it’s clear he trusts less. Let me quickly say that when Gaby was in his corner he listened more… In his last few bouts without him he’s left the corner and made his own decisions.)

With every fight he took a little bit more punishment.

Now, her he is… He’ll be fighting the biggest(by far) man he’s ever faced, being one of the smallest men in thedivision.

I, for one am looking forward to this one. Chavez lacks in so many areas, but he’s so f**king big and has a granite chin.

This is a true David and Goliath.

I’m excited.

Thoughts, ladies and gentleman?
I cnt wait for thiz fight yo!
Derz so many thingz to b answered here. Wether Chavez size will make a big difference? Will he be able to cuz down Martinez ring? Will Chavez body shotz wear down Martinez?
Personally im a lil worried bout how Martinez iz gonna react to Chavez body work.
But if all goez da way i want it Martinez wil outwork Chavez an hopefully break him down an stop him!
