If

caught him. Now will see a rematch with sergio older and hopefully chavez trains better and we see a closer fight. Amazing ending though.

I noticed that at the end of round 4 Martinez caught him good that made Chavez go to the ropes off balance, almost like the way he caught Williams in the first fight. Makes me wonder if the ropes weren't so close if Chavez would have been enough out of balance to have fallen or at least put is glove down on the canvas to hold himself up. Oh well, awesome fight.

I think the result may've been karma, as well. A lot of people believe Julio sr. should've lost to Meldrick Taylor and the fight should not have been stopped. We had a very similar scenerio in this fight but Sergio got the win. I'm sure if Taylor saw this fight he'd have gotten quite emotional. It was very compelling...

Is it official that Chavez Jr. has his cheekbone and orbital bone broken and that he will need surgery? Some websites are saying that but no reliable source has confirmed it yet...

I'm glad the "good guy" won, Sergio proved that he doesn't belong in the ring with cab drivers like Chavez Jr. He's above that.

I was rooting for Martinez very hard througout the build up and vocalized it on the forums pretty loud. My heart sank during the knockdown, but I was so happy he won.

I was surprised some people were upset with it, saying it was weird to have it so far out. In hingsight, I probably didn't need to put RBR in the thread title haha. I hope someone does it for all the fights we have coming up, it helps get the discussion and hype going even more.

Good stuff fellas and it's always better that big fights like that actually end up happening, it makes me care much less who wins and loses. I was at the fight so maybe just the atmosphere, the drinking, getting to also see Martinez live, more drinking, and the closing rounds make me say that because I had a good time regardless of seeing JR getting smashed.

I thought they would duck Martinez forever so I'm just glad the fight came off and that it wasn't in Texas. I felt boxing won the fight in the ring, won at the box office, and won in legitimacy...there was a certain sort of vindication in Sergio winning which is part of what the fight was about so pretty much everyone was a winner except for JR
