Comments Thread For: DiBella: If Kirkland Wants Martinez, We'll Do it Any Time

team martinez "he's a natural 154 pounder"

team martinez "kirkland will have to move up to 160"

wtf


according to the morons on this site martinez isn't a real middleweight & he's best at 154. so why doesn't he move back down to 154?

He'll move to 154 for a big fight with Cotto or Mayweather. But why in gods name would he move down for that bum Kirkland? What actual motivation is there?

Erm I think its been pointed out that Martinez problems are guys with tight D who don't pressure. Something like Rigo's problem. One way we can prove this is, look at the way Macklin came out. That's not his usual style but they changed it up and Martinez was having problems and had to adjust.

Neither Paul Williams nor Antonio Margarito has tight D and both are pressure fighters. Martinez lost to both of them (although the Williams decision could have gone either way).

Kirkland is way more dangerous than Maklin or Barker. I could see the Kirkland that torched Angulo, knocking out Martinez. Kirkland would be bombs away and either get caught coming in or put Martinez to sleep. He hits way harder than Williams or anyone Martinez has fought. But lets see if he gets past Molina Saturday....if he beats Molina, it would be a great matchup.

There's no doubt that Kirkland is a warrior - a hard punching warrior, but with a questionable chin. I'm afraid that Martinez' quickness would get him into trouble. Martinez has a good chance of landing hard and quick blows that Kirkland can't detect before it's too late.

But lets wait until Kirkland gets passed Molina....

This would be Calzaghe vs Lacy II

But Kirkland doesn't have Lacy's chin.

Please. Like Martinez has the work-rate of Calzaghe!

Because that's where he holds his belts at? Doesn't he get stripped if he goes up or down in weight...?

I bet you Margarito (bad eye or not) or Williams can beat Martinez again.

martinez will pop kirkland good but would be shocked at the bull thats in kirkland. kirkland will be taking martinez's bombs

With all due respect, if Kirkland couldn't take a shot from Ishida what makes you think he can take one from Martinez? Are you gonna blame the trainer or call them flash knockdowns like Kirkland did?
