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

[herikbeheran]

Freddie is right - I don't think there is a single credible person in boxing who would give Martinez a shot against Chavez - but his answer is a bit misleading. Of course "Sugar" Cesar Chavez could overwhelm Martinez and put him away in three rounds or less; but, he's also a much better boxer than Sergio; he could, just as easily, get on his toes, use that beautiful jab of his and dance his way to a shutout.

That's why 45 have tried and 45 have failed; there's no blueprint on how to beat Chavez because he's too versatile, too quick, too strong and too good.

too quick?? too strong??
2TKO's in the last 10 fights but "Chavez is too versatile, too quick, too strong and too good "

The Smash, answer me this: are you ******ed?

Sure thing Freddie, because JCC Jr. is so skilled and talented huh? JCC Jr. only wins fights because he is 25+lbs. heavier than his opponents lol. The kid is a LHW/Cruiserweight and fights guys at MW. If they fight, he will easily be 180-185 in the ring and have minimum 20 lbs. on Sergio. I have no interest in this fight to be honest, I am not a Sergio fan really, but I think JCC Jr. is a real joke. They guy has fought what, 46 times and has fought maybe 1, 2 top 10 opponents? He lost to Zbik by the way, that decision was total BS. He also lost to Vanda too in the 1st fight.

Martinez record for his past 5 fights

Matthew Macklin - TKO 11

Darren Barker - TKO 11

Serhiy Dzinziruk - TKO 8

Paul Williams - KO 2

Kelly Pavlik - UD

Chavez Jr record for his past 5 fights

Marco Rubio - UD

Peter Manfredo - TKO 5

Sebastian Zbik - MD

Billy Lyell - UD

John Duddy - UD

Martinez has faced better opposition and has 4 stoppages and 1 wide UD, while Jr with crappier opposition has 1 stoppage and 4 decisions (And I still think he lost against Zbik)
But hey, Chavez Jr is too strong ! Lol

[Housed Fugitive]

freddie roach talking about exposed fighters?

is that a joke?

[etradervic]

Like a cat playing with a mouse...

In the Macklin fight, Martinez reminded me of a cat playing with his food. When he turned it on at the end of the 7th rd, it was no contest.

Chavez at 184lbs fight time easily beats the smaller older overrated martinez. Not even a tough fight for the stronger younger Chavez. Martinez made his rep on one wild punch and beating up a drunk.

And Jr. beat who? Did Jr. beat that drunk? No! But he is a drunk. And what lucky punch has Jr. landed, ever? Who has he knocked out? Jr. scares nobody and that's after all his cheating.

Roach did say he is a good boxer and a great athlete with a fast left hand.

Tbh Roach hasn't said anything different to what most felt. Most felt Macklin won early rounds, but pre fight who fought it would be close?

Umm.....I did lmao. Too many people were underestimating Macklin, and I don't know why exactly. I think people thought Mack wouldn't be able to utilize a high guard plus a jab to **** up Sergio's timing, but he used the right strategy for as long as he possibly could, until Sergio's power and stamina wore him down. He did well, and Martinez was able to adapt. Chavez is one-dimensional, so Martinez won't really have to figure him out. Chavez can come in at his usual 180lbs, and he still will catch an L. Sergio is going to have a field day with Chavez's lack of defense.

LOL, Roach, the trainer of Chavez Jr., is talking about how a fighter, Martinez, got exposed.

...trainer of Chavez Jr....

...TRAINER OF CHAVEZ JR....

I'm sorry, but hasn't Chavez Jr. been getting his ass exposed for the past few fights now? LOL.

[Suavecito80]

Does this dude every just shut the **** up?? I mean really he is always talking **** about other fighters yet all of his fighters in their last fights have looked like ass. Khan vs. Peterson, Pacquiao vs. JMM and Chavez vs. Rubio where Julita decided to skip the after fight piss test. Martinez is going to slice up Julita something fierce IF he ever grows a sack and actually fights him.
