One week left to another great match-up!

"On March 12, Sergio Gabriel Martinez will climb through the ropes to face Sergiy Dzinziruk in a middleweight clash, which according to boxrec.com will be for the "vacant WBC Diamond Middleweight Title." This is because in choosing to face Dzinziruk, Martinez gave the WBC an opportunity to strip him of his title and give it to German fringe contender Sebastain Zbik. The "Diamond Championship" is a farce and a monstrosity, little more than a trophy granted to the winner of a historic fight between two prominent boxers that allows greedy old Jose Suleiman to collect another sanctioning fee (which Martinez is hopefully refusing to pay). Yet even though no title worthy of the name is at stake ..."
I agree with Mr. Thomas, except for, there IS a title worth more than anyone else at stake: The Ring's World Middleweight Title! And, unlike the fishy figures connected to the sanction bodies, everyone else with a healthy mind will grant this as a true World Championship fight!
I believe Martinez will win this. Usually, he is a quick starter, then slowing down in the middle rounds before accelerating again in the last four. I can see the same scenario here, with Martinez capturing a clear-cut decision win.
What's your opinion?
