The Sergiosexuals can relax. We all know Sergio will find a way to get out of this fight.
Sergio will fake an injury or go into rehab or some other ridiculous way to duck the EL DINERO DE VACA.
U sir are a dumb az!
Haha el dinero. De vaca. Really. The sad thing is that u are esl and still can't get it right. How do u butcher your own language son?
I'll take Chavez Jr by TKO in 8 or 9 rounds. Martinez is too small and doesn't punch hard enough. Chavez will make it a war. Julio is a wonderful inside fighter.
This is where Julio makes his first real mark on the way to winning titles at 168, 175 and maybe even cruiser.

........I hate when fights are made 5 months in advance
Co-sign; September is almost half a year away from now. What are Martinez and Jr. gonna do in the interim? Do they fight other opponents or just stay dormant on sidelines? Martinez is in his prime and cannot squander that being inactive for months on end.
If they are serious about fighting in Sept then HBO should showcase both fighters on a doubleheader to build up the fight.

It won't happen...
Junior will come up with excuse before fight...
Senior a boxer I have much respect for
would of been fighting Martinez for the second
time already...
Isn't Groves targeting Steiglitz belt? He might get first crack.
Well whoever has that title by the end of the year is who Jr is going to fight. Then there will be an endless streak of defenses against bums.
I will say this Chavez might have to move up soon. Is either move up to a weight he can actually make or take diuretics and fight in Mexico or Texas so drug testing won't happen.
I think with the right conditioning and nutrition plan he could make 160 for a couple more years, it's not like he's ripped to shreds at the weigh ins. Only reason he'll move up is because Top Rank won't let him get iced by Martinez.
Anyway, Taylor at 160 would be great fight, a war like pwilliams I
Say what? :thinking: At this stage Taylor would get murdered. Yes he's more skilled than Barker and Macklin who gave Martinez problems but these guys were fresh and had never been stopped before.
If Geale fights Pirog plan B will be Jermaine Taylor.
Taylor isn't even ready to fight Joachim Alcine. Zero chance Al Haymon and Dibella will feed Taylor to Martinez this year.
If Geale fights Pirog plan B will be Jermaine Taylor.
if that fight ever happens i see Pirog beating Geale clearly and becoming MArtinez main legit contender. Everything would change in the MW division if that happens. Anyway, Taylor at 160 would be great fight, a war like pwilliams I, Sergio needs to fight in the US to someone who can sell some tickets, that´s for sure.
they are like playing chess, both sides trying to show the WBC that they are willing to fight, one side to not being stripped and the other to keep being the mandatory. I think both know fight won´t happen. I hope team Martínez has a B plan in case Chavez beats Lee. Floyd (not likely), a top 154 (Kirkland, Lara) or at least a tune up fight or something for the next months.
this is all BS. They are doing this just to not being stripped of the title. JCChavez Jr. fighting Martinez two months after the Lee fight? Yeah, right. They will make up something, injury, weight issues, etc. you´ll all see.
I was about to post that Jr must be already working on his pre-fight injury...
But I would love to see it happen just so I can laugh at all the people who have been buying into Jr's smoke and mirrors career.
this is all BS. They are doing this just to not being stripped of the title. JCChavez Jr. fighting Martinez two months after the Lee fight? Yeah, right. They will make up something, injury, weight issues, etc. you´ll all see.
This is what I said before... I don't believe this bull crap. So what's going on with the test JCC Jr wouldn't take? Did Sergio say to hell with it?

"He's got to fight a fight in June, first. It will either be Vanes or Andy Lee. And then, he'll fight Martinenz," said Arum.
I smell bullshit. I'm willing to bet Jr will move up after his June fight and will target Stieglitz's belt.
