Santos Withdraws, Sergio Martinez May Go For Forrest

[Pullcounter]

Why when they just hurt themselves in the process? promoters are gonna be less inclined to pair them up with better fighters and they get stuck with average fights for average pay.


Oh and isn't it ironic that everyone says that Margarito is ducking this guy when Santos himself is clearly is ducking an even lesser fighter.

sergio's pretty good

Martinez is pretty good it's finally starting to show a bit now that everyones pulling out. These guys take the fights and then when they find out how good he is they pull out. King probably told Santos that Martinez was just a tuneup for something bigger. He probably used the fact that Sergio lost to Margarito and it would an easy fight. Then Santos probably seen some video and said **** that ****.

if he's overweight and bad shape.. better for him... not fighting..danny know.. they will always find out a way to get himout of the picture.. so if you dont feel 100% dont fight

u currently have a belt... no need to hurry.... still.. im sad.. cos i was hype with this card..

Forrest wont fight Martinez, Guarenteed

Exactly, Martinez is in the position because Forrest refused to fight him in the first place.

BoxingScene.com has been informed that WBA junior middleweight champion Daniel Santos (32-3, 23KOs) has turned down the opportunity to face WBC interim-junior middleweight Sergio Martinez (44-1, 24KOs) on February 14. The fight was going to be televised by HBO, paired in a triple-header with Alfredo Angulo-Ricardo Mayorga and Nate Campbell-Ali Funeka. [details]

Martinez should fight Ishe Smith.... and beat the hell out of him. I don't want Smith permanently damaged, but I would like a beating that takes at least 6 weeks to fully recover from. I'm so sick of him crying and crying for a fight. Thats what promoters are for. This is the perfect opportunity for him to get on a card.

Unification bouts on short notice..... its not gonna happen guys... maybe if the two were scheduled to fight at the same card and both opponents pulled out, but thats not the case here.

Wasn't Santos scheduled to make a defense of his 154 lb. title this month??? So how is is overweight? Did he automatically hit the buffet as soon as his mandatory pulled out?

I'm just saying, this sucks! This would've been a good fight!

This is a problem in boxing. Somehow we need stricter rules for fighters that withdraw. Maybe heavy fines. This is the kind of fight that boxing needs.

you want to fine someone for having kidney stones??
freakin' ridiculous if you ask me.

Daniel Santos is ducking him now?
How so? If he is over weight and cant make the weight then he shouldn't fight.
Last thing he needs is a Guzman situation, then he is really f'ked.
