Comments Thread For: Sergio Martinez Focused on Knocking Chavez Jr. Out

[alembic]

For sure Sergio has pop. Jr has been overpowering opponents but they didn't have the crunch Sergio will bring to the table. Jr's career management will come crumbling down.

I smell Arum robbery w/o KO.

body, body, body, body. if he's gonna do it, that's how. jr's got his daddy's chin. kill the body and the head will follow.

Sergio has to split Jr's high guard with some head-body jab combos, try to keep everything straight down the pipe.

[Frank Ducketts]

Without a jab, Jr must find a way to cut the ring off on Martinez, and **** the body. We all know that. The incoming will be unlike anything Jr has ever seen before. Martinez can turn old at anytime, but I think that Jr is going to have to take it away from Martinez. Can Jr win? It's a very hard fight, but Jr gets mad props from me should he win.

Didnt Roach want a 10x10 ring?

Since Williams II, when Martinez thinks KO it happens. But then again, Chavez is a different beast.

Willams was a beast, please believe, with a granite chin too.

Exactly, but that gets easily forgotten by todays fan.

I can't see Chavez Jr coming forward flat-footed and taking Martinez' flush left hands without going down. I just can't see it.

One of two things will occur: Chavez's over-hyped chin gets wrecked, or his mug gets sliced up. Roach better be teaching him how to avoid/counter Sergio's jab and straight left. Jr needs more tools in his skill-set to effectively deal with Martinez, simple as that. He fights Sergio like he did everyone else and he'll most likely get outclassed.
