Does anyone else think that Dzinziruk can upset Martinez?

i think Dzinziruk would have a better shot at 154, his punch output is too low to really problem Martinez

it should be a competitive fight, and Martinez deserves more credit than what he's getting for taking the fight

I don't make much of the weight class. Martinez was a career junior middleweight although he has filled into a middleweight now. He isn't a big middleweight by any means like Kelly Pavlik was. Sergiy actually is a hair taller than him.

I'll say this too at this point, Sergiy Dzinziruk is a significantly tougher fight than Shane Mosley.

Martinez relies to much on athleticism and not enough technical ability. A really good solid fundamental Boxer will usually beat an athletic one.. We shall see how good Dzinz is at this level.. The 1-2 and boxing of Pavlik turned the tide and you could see Martinez laboring a bit and not as sure of himself until he opened up the cuts on Kelly and then the rest is history..

Any jab will disrupt timing but a great jab is a game changer and forces different strategy and plans B-C which is tough for a guy like Martinez who tries to outspeed and beat you to the punch.. I can definetly see an upset, we shall find out soon enough.
