Martinez is going to pull an Abril.

Martinez needs to clinch and use the ring in order to win this fight. What else is the smaller fighter supposed to do? I don't think Martinez is gonna "run", but he's gonna have to box. Do you expect him to stand and trade with Chavez the entire night? That's the dumbest thing he could possibly do. Martinez's boxing ability tends to lead to stoppages, why should he change the formula now?

What this is going to look like is PW-Martinez 2. Jr will walk in with no jab and his chin exposed like he always does, Martinez will step to the side and blast him in the face with straight left's all night. Eventually he'll land the one that cracks Jr's chin and he'll be laying motionless on the canvas. Very easy fight for Martinez.

I didn't think PW would be KOed like that either. PW never got knocked down by any other fighter, and took bombs from glove loading chetto and another underrated power puncher in Lara, yet he got destroyed by Martinez. Martinez IMO is the hardest puncher in the sport right now, and not only that he lands punches that guys don't see coming. That's a deadly combination and it will end the night for Jr.

Way too many people on this forum think boxing is the same as "running." If "boxing" were two men walking to the center of the ring and exchanging punches, we may as well always give the belt to the bigger, stronger man. Thankfully, boxing is a science and an art; and men like "Maravilla" can use their skills to chop down their more imposing opponents.

In their first meeting, Sergio and Paul took turns tasting the canvass. "Maravilla" hits hard, but he put Williams's lights out partly because Paul didn't see the KO punch coming.

I can´t wait to see Martínez getting knocked out during some of his sloppy clinches. Martínez better puts some nitro on his bike.

Agreed x10

I see a Jr. stoppage at around the 9th round. I don't see the KO in this fashion...



But the KO of Jr. will be more like this...



I think this time Jr. has gotten in too deep with a boxer like Sergio. Jr. will be outclassed.
