Sergio Martinez vs. Joe Greene, 12 rounds, for Martinez's WBC interim JMW title

Joe Greene is still that, green. His last showing was uninpressive. His family is TOO much of a distraction. He keeps looking and nodding at them. He gets hit with shots that shouldn't land at this stage of his career. Sergio Martinez has p4p calibur skill. He will be to fast for Greene providing great angles and that mean as jab he gots.

Martinez will school Greene bigtime. Greene has looked very flawed against some ordinary opponents, while Martinez just destroyed a better opponent than Greene has ever been in with.

Sergio Martinez by UD or Late rounds TKO. The guy is very strong, he have decent pop, plus his Jab is the best in boxing right now. He have lots of experience with his only loss coming to Margarito 9 years ago!!!!!!!

SO far I have to agree with the above posts. Greene is too ordinary and too small to get past that jab of Martinez's. Greene's footspeed is nowhere near Martinez's. Greene's team has got to know the things we see. Why put him in this early with this style? Now or never I guess.

Sergio Martinez impressed me with his boxing skills in the Bunema fight.

Joe Greene is a good fighter with some power, and so he definitely has a chance if he can land a few.

But my prediction is a wide decision win for Martinez.

According to Boxrec, Greene is 5'10, but he's never looked 5'10 in the ring. In fact, I remember commentators commenting on his short stature.

Regardless, props for the Greene camp for taking the fight. We need fights like these and if Greene or Sergio lose, we need to support them and not treat them like they have leprosy.

I think Martinez is being overrated after his fight against Bunema. Sure, he looked great in that fight but Bunema was basically garbage that day.

Martinez is being overrated who has he beat besides a slow average fighter in Bunema. Greene is green, but i have a feeling Martinez is going to need a lot more than he has got to keep Greene at bay.

Greene is not slow as hell like Bunema, lets see what happens when Martinez leaves his chin out against Greene, a guy who can punch.

Greene did look bad against Torres, but im still running with Greene.
