I don't think Martinez is getting enough credit here for taking this fight. I mean think about it. That's Paul Williams I, Kermit Cintron, Kelly Pavlik, Paul Williams II, and now Sergiy Dzinziruk. When does he get a little bit of a breather? Maybe that'll be Chavez Jr. next. I see Dzinziruk as the world's best junior middleweight. There I said it. Angulo turned down 750k to face him. That should say something.

Problem I see for Dzinziruk is that he hasn't been very busy the last few years. Since he beat Santos, he's only defended his title three times and against only so-so foes whereas Martinez has been busy in the ring with the best in the world. Plus all in all Martinez has faced much better boxers in his career. Martinez also has him on speed, style, and awkwardness. But, Dzinziruk can box. I wouldn't be super surprised with an upset. Does anyone know if Dzinziruk has been down before?
