Martinez has been waiting for this one for years. He will take it, no matter what obstacles they put in his way.

Spanish is spoken in all of South America, Central America, most of the Caribbean, and some of Europe.

How ignorant I looked

[erics44]

from that short clip it looks like they had a nice little row

im not bothered who wins this, i dont particularly like either fighter, but it should be a good fight

[Kirkland Laing]

Martinez needs to stop him to win. If Chavez is on his feet at the end of the fight he'll get the decision.

[DavilaJones]

Also note that Martinez spent a long time in Europe as well so that would explain his deftness in the Spanish language. As for him beating Chavez I'd say that Chavez is made for him, a guy who comes forward, leans forward, no upper body movement, and no jabs.

Moreover since Chavez is a body puncher and Martinez fights in a semi crouching style its going to be very hard for Chavez to find the body of a smaller man fighting even smaller. I only do have one apprehension and that is the weight of Chavez, this wouldn't make me nervous if in boxing we still would insist on same day weighting.

Sig bet?

[JonnyFolds]

I was trying to remember a fight in which Chavez "fought tall" or even won a round by "boxing beautifully"... On the other hand, you have a guy who has done a little bit of everything.

Sergio has broken guys with single punches, worn guys down with volume, and boxed beautifully to lacerate a face to a bloody mess.

All in all it's Chavez who has something to prove. I just hope people give Sergio credit for his victory, if they are going to wager on Jr.

Will Chavez be treated as the champion and enter the ring first?

Brand new to the page and forum. I actually live in Vegas and was able to get tickets to this fight.

For me this is the most interesting fight of the year. Despite frustration with his past opponents and questions over his weight Chavez has developed into a very good fighter and I feel he deserves his shot.
Previously he has had difficulty with southpaws and had initially turned down the Lee fight because of his orientation. The Lee fight in the books I believe that he has been building toward this fight, developing to cope with the southpaw stance and associated difficulties.
This will be the biggest night of his life.


I hope Martinez knocks him out

Yea real easy fight tall, don't come forward like a idiot, and use your superior footwork and head movement.

Wtf r u thinking? Chavez will avoid nothing.
