How is Sergio vs Dzinzuruk a competitive fight?

I’ve only seen Dzinziruk’s last 3 fights (or so), and did so only to make a prediction. I came away thinking, Sergio will have a fairly easy nights work. My opinion, is just that, mine and only based on 3 or so fights: (vs Dawson, vs Julio, and some rounds vs Konecny, and a few rounds vs Santos) I think Dzinziruk is a very standard fighter, almost perfectly standard – he has a fairly tight guard. I do like that he uses his jab, but I’m not overly impressed with it; I’ve read and heard other posters rave of how stiff his jab is, I just don’t see it – I think it’s actually a misconception because he uses it so often. It does appear to have some pop on it, but not like I expected after hearing predictors. Other things to note, via boxrec, he has a 62% KO ratio by 37-(23)-0. He’s gone the distance 6 out of his last 9 fights (The other 3 were stoppages at or past the 10th round). He’s a calculating boxer; he stands straight up, throws the jab out there quite often and might follow it up with a short combination. He does use lateral movement, but his footwork won’t give Sergio any sort of problems, atleast I don’t expect it to. He’ll circle you at a decent pace, if his opponent comes in aggressively, he’ll back step, avoiding the contact or counter with a check hook. I wouldn’t consider him a great counter puncher though. He enjoys standing in the middle of the ring and picking you with his jab, and if you let him then you’re just giving away rounds. He’s a fundamentally sound fighter, and that is as far as I would take it – Even with those pluses, I still think this is going to be an easy nights work for Sergio. Sergio’s movement and combination punching should off-set Dzinziruk before going off on him ala vs Pavlik. I’m looking forward to this fight (might have to catch it tomorrow) because I enjoy watching good boxers like Sergio Martinez, I’m not too thrilled at the opponent, but hopefully I’ve underestimated him. BTW, I’m expecting Martinez to win by 9th Round TKO, I don’t think Martinez will show any respect to Dzinziruk’s power shots, it’ll just be a slow, but effective breakdown over the course of about 9 rounds, and I’m very hesitant of even giving it that much distance. And if I’m wrong about ALL this, then damn, I’m sorry you even bothered reading this much. Enjoy the fights :boxing: oh I'm sorry did I just up my own post? can't believe I picked the favorite. :hail: myself alright that's about it, I'm out.

lol who the hell would pick Dzinzuruk over Martinez. Dzinzuruk as a fighter sucks balls aginst the best he is nothing but a club fighter can we not ban people like this?

Jab. Jab. Jab. Paul Williams in the first fight gave Sergio major problems with it. Ive been waiting to see Martinez against a guy with pure boxing skills for a while now. This fight is in no shape, form or fashion set in stone for Sergio.

Martinez is going to dominate Dzinzurik tonight, hopefully those that are in here saying it will be a competitive fight give him his just due for dominating another good fighter with a difficult style. The late rounds (if it ever gets there) will be a complete bludgeoning. Dzinzurik just doesn't have enough to keep Sergio off of him and that will get him beatdown for as long as he can tough it out. I'd be very impressed and pumped if he blows out dizzy. Of course he will get his props. I think he's the best fighter in the world right now. No's 1-2 are just bullshi tting their lives away.

I thought 60%'s were D's... 66% wrong means 34% right. Hence the f.

I'm just glad Maravilla is fighting again and keeping himself busy like he said he wanted to be. It's not like Dzinziruk is a bum. Should be a good scrap

anyone have a stream for this match? will +k

You're only 66% wrong on this post. Not terrible, but you still get an f. I thought 60%'s were D's...

Considering Dzinziruk never fought at 160 before, it would put him at a disadvange with his first middleweight fight against the best 160lber. how many fights has sergio had at 160?sergei is a very good fighter and doesn't open up as much as williams or pavlik so it will be harder for sergio to hit sergei than his previous 2 opponents plus sergei's straight punches could keep sergio off balance.i got sergio winning this fight but sergei is a very good fighter and should get some respect if anything i would favor sergei over the 2 fighters fighting on ppv tonight

How many of his fights have you seen,dude is a beast and someone sexy sergio was trying to avoid. 1stly - lol what a joke of a thread 2ndly - get your facts str8 dude :nonono: Martinez offered Dzinziruk a fight for the WBC title eliminator back in the day when both were at 154. Universum didnt want a fight with Martinez who than fought Saul Roman. Now Dzinziruk is going to fight in his biggest fight of his life against the man they ducked at first. of course they should fight him at whatever fight Martinez want to and should thank him for the chance. trying to aviod my ass, the fight was signed very fast without any problems.

When this guy looks so shieety and amateur, hes also boney compare to Sergio. He doesnt belong in 160lb he belongs at 154 The experts DON'T consider this a competitive fight. Martinez is a large betting favorite. In fact, he is as large a favorite as Maidana is against Morales. You can get 4.5 to 1 on your money betting the underdog here.

Talent wise this is a pretty even matchup but Dzinzurukis at a disadvantage with the weight

Martinez is going to dominate Dzinzurik tonight, hopefully those that are in here saying it will be a competitive fight give him his just due for dominating another good fighter with a difficult style.

Dzinzurik just doesn't have enough to keep Sergio off of him and that will get him beatdown for as long as he can tough it out.

I was a cunt hair from taking dizzy with the upset but then I saw his new trainer. Don't know where you bet, but see if you can get a Dzinziruk points handicap bet. You can book it at -115, and the handicap is +21.5. Bet it with Martinez by decision, and then just pray that Martinez doesn't shut him out, or knock him out.

Don't talk with your mouth full John. LOL. loooooooooool

You can't be 37-0 with wins over decent guys like Santos and Julio and you're not at least a good fighter. I believe this will be a competitive fight not because Dzinziruk's flashy 0 but it's more because of his style and his defense. I'd say from what I have seen of Dzinziruk, he's at least better than decent, I would say he's a very good boxer, not just a good fighter. Not like he's some Chavez Jr, Ottke, Alvarez kind of undefeated fighter, he's way better than those 3, I would favor Martinez/Dzinziruk over any undefeated fighter from 154-160. This will definitely be a competitive fight, and if it's a blow out win for either fighter, then we'll just have to give a lot of props to the winner. Beating Martinez is no piece of cake we all know that, and beating Dzinziruk hasn't been done before so show some respect he has a couple of decent wins just now he's getting better exposure because of HBO.

Here comes the third dumbest mithafuka on the forum. Where did I pick dizzy? Idiot. The thread is about why the fight will be competiive. Is it not? Your dumb ass can't read. You said dizzy has no power (false). You said he isnt't aggressive (false). He's not a dude who waits for something to happen. He's in your ass with the jab and right hook. I saw right through your first post that you never saw h fight before and you're just a sheep in the herd of people that are saying all he has is a jab. This guy is a master boxer (so far). Show me where I said dizzy will win or shut yur stupid mouth. There really is way too much of that on this forum.

Man this is a one sided battle If I had my tax return right now Ill bet everything on Martinez. Honestly Ill bump this after its over and you know what i mean when I say its a one sided beat down
