Have a feeling Chocolatito may really shine with Martinez flat feet and coming up in weight. Sounds like Martinez missed weight. May be a strategy to ensure not draining and having better chance. Even at this stage a Chocolatito scalp holds more respect than some 'silver' belt they literally just rolled out.
