this fight is actually more competitive then a lot of people realize. Before it was automatic that Martinez simply destroys chavez.
Now, I still think Martinez wins clear (decision) but it's actually a pretty good matchup. Martinez does tend to take rounds off and chavez does apply good aggression and has, from what it seems, a very good chin. I can see chavez winning 3-4 rounds in a pretty tough fight, but martinez' speed and boxing ability + awkward angles giving him the decision. Maybe even a late stoppage depending on how well chavez holds up.
