Comments Thread For: DiBella: WBC Will Order Chavez To Face Martinez

[Assteroid Field]

Good, I don't think it's happening though. Surely Arum would have him vacated before with some lame injury or something before matching him against Martinez.

This hate for Maravilla is ridiculous. Can't believe someone suggested him take on Zbik over Sergei. The WBC has gotten themselves into a bit o a mess by giving away belts to jcc and Canelo. Now, they're trying to clean them up and the only way it will happen is if they have them fight a REAL CONTENDER or fight each other. Obviously, the promoters will entice them to choose the latter because it will generate more $ and it will assure them that at least one of the cash cows will stay undefeated.

easy work 4 JR.

Steroidgio Martinez doesn't even have a proper boxing stance. how about instead of riding bicycles all day he gets in the gym and learns to put his hands up??? that too much to ask?

You want Sergio so bad it oozes from your posts

Sergio should fight Rubio. Martinez is scared of fighting real threats. Sergio is only looking for a payday.

Yeah thats why he went up to fight the lineal champ Kelly Pavlik
everyone was saying that Pavlik was going to destroy Sergio
then he took on the supposed most ducked/feared man in the sport and man handled him but he is scared of Rubio
wow you amaze me man
he is just out to get paid right now and he deserves that paper man
this fight with Barker is just a stay busy fight
it happens all the time but I dont hear you woofin about it

The lunacy of this post made me laugh out loud. JCC Jr. is a no talent hack. The only reason he's not holding a spit bucket in a corner is that his dad is the great Julio Caesar Chavez SR. Martinez would wipe the floor with him. Hell, if Zbik had any power whatsoever, he'd have turned out the lights on him

Sergio would fight JCC Jr. and Canelo in a heart beat. He'd kill either one of them. Rubio is a joke. He got destroyed by Pavlik and looked like he didn't belong in the middleweight division. Last I checked, Martinez beat Pavlik.

And why would Sergio, the emeritus champion (whatever the hell that means), have to fight an eliminator to challenge for the belt that he won cleanly from the undisputed WBC champion (Pavlik)? The WBC is so pathetic and that fans pay any attention to these straps is a joke.

I'm not a Martinez fan, but the WBC did treat him unfairly. He won the belt in April 2010. He was stripped in January 2011. No sanctioning body strips a champion in less than a year for failure to fight its no. 1 contender, especially in a situation like this where Martinez fought the man widely regarded as the top middleweight (Paul Williams) and KO'd him. It was a crap decision and the WBC was transparent in its attempt to help JCC, jr. get a belt. But the WBC has never gone out of its way to help a Mexican fighter . . . HBO also screwed Martinez by refusing to buy the Zbik fight against Martinez. That left Martinez literally making nothing to fight Zbik, not really an option for a 36 year old fighter. To add insult to injury, HBO then bought Chavez's crap fight against Zbik, opening the door for Chavez to get the WBC strap.

This is bad news for Chavez though. Martinez is going to kill Chavez. Chavez does a few things well but his technique is still crap. If all the best trainers in the world haven't cleaned him up better than what he is now, he is hopeless. and fat. but that is another story.

I doubt Chavez's promoters (WBC) would sanction that fight yet.
