You don't see Sergio out boxing him for the last 3? He seemed to be recovering nicely
Yea but Sergio is too small to really hurt Chavez. Chavez was intimidated by his speed, but as the fight went on, he slowly started realizing that the punches werent hurting him. So he started aiming at Martinez, while Martinez was being offensive minded. Of course Chavez is too big for the weight class, and a clean shot from him, is a damaging blow. That fight would have ended in the 13th round.
Rocky Juarez might have picked up a title at some point.
Anyway, a fighter training/planning specifically for a fifteen round fight isn't necessarily going to enter that fight with the same mentality/mindset as he would if he were competing in a ten or twelve round fight.
I agree with this, if a fighter knows he's going 15 he would leave a little more in the tank for the later rounds.

This is really a very good point

Jcc Jr vs Sergio would probably be an obvious choice for many, and maybe Bradley vs Provodnikov but i'm not sure.

Is there any fights that you believe would have been different if 15 rounds?
