Comments Thread For: Roach: Sergio Martinez Was Exposed, Chavez Too Strong

[danktrees]

Macklin must be conspiring with Martinez because Sergio didn't take over until Macklin got tired.

Macklin got tired when Sergio started punching him in the face 30 times a round. Sergio took over after Macklin knocked him down. Macklin certainly wasn't tired in round 8 when the takeover began.

“I would love to see him fight the Argentinean soon. I think [Sergio Martinez] was exposed in his last fight with Macklin. He did was he was supposed to do at the end but I don’t think he looked good up to that point. Hopefully the fight will happen soon” said Roach.

“Martinez is getting a little bigger audience each time he fights. He’s a very good athlete. I don’t think he’s a great, great boxer but he’s a very good athlete. He has power and has a quick left hand but I think Chavez would be too strong for him”.

I agree with everything that Roach said here except for the part that suggests Chavez Jr would beat Sergio.

I think Sergio was absolutely exposed in the Macklin fight. We all just thought Martinez was just having an off night against Barker, but Macklin showed otherwise. It wasn't so much about what Macklin could do as much as it was about what he kept Sergio from doing.

I don't usually agree with Roach as his statements are usually all meant to flatter his own interests, and he did slip in the bit about Chavez Jr here, but
I think he nailed it concerning Sergio.

If fans have learned ANYTHING about Roach in the last few years its that Roach excels at recognizing weakness. I mean .. Manny Pacquiao's entire run at WW and jrMW was predicated on Roach's ability to do so!

I'm going to ride with Roach on this one. Give credit where credits due.

the joke coach Freddie Roach strikes again.

if you watch Martinez vs Macklin with Lampley and Merchant on, then yeah Martinez was exposed.


I think Martinez adjusted his game plan to beat a crafty Macklin. Chavez doesn't have those boxing skills.

can Chavez block shots with his shoulder? can he punch off his back foot, really can he do anything to disrupt the distance and timing of Martinez?

Chavez blocks shots with his face and just bulls forward. Martinez would punish this kid and that's why they aren't fighting.

people get caught up in the hype of Chavez but if he didn't have his father's name he would have already lost more than a few fights. 1 against Vanda and 2 against Molina. let's not pretend that Chavez is an actual champion, he's a pretender and has done ZERO to earn his title.


if he last more than 8 rounds against Martinez I'll give him props.

Ok ok he's been exposed, I see a weakness...hurry Bob and make the fight now!!! Did anybody catch the part where he said "hopefully Golden Boy and TR can work together"?...to me that let's me know for a fact that Bob is still in the way of any cross company fights May vs Pac included!!!

I hate hearing about a guy being exposed and now, all of a sudden Roach is all for the fight. There's coincidence and there's trend...Roach has a trend!!

[herikbeheran]

See, I told you so.

For years, I have been telling all of you casual fans that Sergio has no chance.

So why Chavez is running?
Why not now fight with Martinez?
Why fight with Lee?
