New Greatest Hits for Chavez-Martinez

That's bad. Especially in hindsight. Since that fight, Felix Sturm, an old guy not known for power, stopped Zbik in 9 rounds. I agree with the second paragraph, but like I said, I just have this feeling that Chavez Jr. is going to pull off the upset. Maybe I think Sergio Martinez is just getting up there in age and his legs are going to be shot. I don't know. Just a feeling I got... Well, the argument can be made that he's improved since then, or maybe Zbik was just that tough. He made him fight his fight, and that's the biggest step. If he can get Martinez to do that, then he almost has the fight in the bag. If he can force Sergio to square up and exchange, then that's how he'll break him down. But I think Sergio is too smart for that. He'll probably exchange once in a while to take advantage of the speed disparity, but other than that, I see him boxing and out-maneuvering Jr. for 12 rounds. Will Chavez catch up with him at one point, yes. But it's because Sergio is gonna allow him to do so. Fighters don't just physically unravel in one fight, and Sergio hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. He'll be alright. Everything that Sergio does in this fight will be done with a purpose.

I don't think the Zbik performance was necessarily bad. Zbik fought Chavez's fight and yet he couldn't put him away. He forced Rubio to fight his fight and couldn't put him away either. He forced Lee to fight his fight and stopped him. I really believe that Jr's power/chin is overrated. He has yet to get hit with an "OH *****" punch. Sure, Lee and Rubio are hard punchers, but Jr. could see them coming and also, they were fighting in a phone booth. They couldn't create enough space to get their shots off with maximum leverage. I think he won't be able to enforce his weight and will on Sergio like he did to all the others. Sergio is gonna circle him like a vulture, he's gonna drop his hands, and he's going to put in work. He's gonna box, he's gonna counter, he'll clinch anytime he gets his back on the ropes or he'll counter off of them. That's bad. Especially in hindsight.

Sure let me get that for you, Chavez Jr highlight reel... Here's Turdgio's Gayest hits. What a fruit cake. Makes you wonder how he gets guy fans:thumbsdow

Well, that's a good preview of the fight... JCC Jr. is just going to come foward and get hit in the head a lot and win. Why did they put him beating up an old dude as a greatest hit? Just because he avenged his dad? Oh lol

Sergio was on the canvas by lighter punchers than Chávez. I dont think he will be able to withstand Chávez onslaught. They were merely moments of being off balance. He even tripped over macklin's foot and they called it a KD....he was never hurt at all and he dominated the remainder of the fights he got flash kd'd in.

so pumped for this fight!

You need to watch those knockdowns again, cuz it has more to do with being off-balance/feet getting tangled than the power of the opponent. Yea I know they weren't flashy knock downs. I still think Chávez will put Sergio on the canvas.

I don't think Martinez expected Barker to fight the way he did. It definitely threw him off in the earlier rounds. You could almost say the same thing about Chavez though. Recently, his only bad performance was against Zbik. He beat Rubio, Manfredo, and Lee easily. I don't know who to go for in this fight. I like Martinez but, for some reason, I get a feeling Chavez Jr. might actually upset him. I don't think the Zbik performance was necessarily bad.

If Team Chavez was smart, they would use a similar strategy to Barker's. He cannot lead the entire fight and pressure/pressure/pressure cuz that is exactly what Sergio is gonna prepare for. Exactly, Martinez is expecting constant forward pressure and momentum. If he laid back and used his reach, it would throw Sergio off and he'd take a few rounds to adjust, like Barker and Macklin. Chavez Jr. can only fight one way though IMO and that is what is getting him stopped.

A fight he may have had a hard time getting up for. Against Chavez Jr., he knows what is on the line and he sounds like he's taking very seriously. Poor Chavez Jr. He has no idea the sleeping giant he's awoken. If Team Chavez was smart, they would use a similar strategy to Barker's.

Sergio's only lackluster performance was against Barker, but he got to him later in the fight as well. I don't think Martinez expected Barker to fight the way he did.

In the Martinez vid, there's a punch at 7:53 (where Jim Lampley screams "Hard right hand by Macklin upstairs! His best shot of the night") that doesn't even land. It was completely blocked by Martinez' glove. Don't know why it ended up in the highlights.

Sergio's only lackluster performance was against Barker, but he got to him later in the fight. Barker wasn't nearly as active as I thought he would, but as soon as he started opening up, Sergio was able to take advantage of the opportunities presented.
