WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio Martinez is in the holiday spirit and wants to give Vanes Martirosyan the perfect present - a title shot in 2010. The BoxingScene.com readership is very fond of their verbal war that took place a few months ago [Click Here To Read]. Vanes appeared last Saturday in Youngstown on the Pavlik-Espino undercard. Following the TKO win of Willie Lee, Vanes and his trainer Freddie Roach set their sights on a major title shot.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is in line for Martinez. Chavez is another fighter who wants his shot at the WBC title. Martinez,’s team doesn't take Chavez Jr. seriously. Nobody believes Top Rank will ever put Chavez Jr. in the ring with Martinez, at least not for a very long time.

"If Top Rank doesn't want to give us one contender, then I'll fight their other contender Vanes. Freddie Roach said that he’s ready, so let’s do it," Martinez said.
