Sergio Martinez has always been a "nice guy" of boxing. He has taken his close losses respectfully, and has never disrespected an opponent like he has Chavez Jr.
The points he makes about respecting the sport are true. Chavez's disregard for making weight, committing to training with a hall of fame coach, driving drunk before a fight and questions around doping make him hard to respect. However, he's sure to be ready for this fight.
In today's press conference Chavez accused Martinez of not respecting boxing because he "runs". In his last three or four fights Martinez has pressed the action, and gone in for the kill. Just because he's fast and elusive doesn't mean he runs, it simply makes him well-rounded fighter.
The fact that the animosity between these two fighters is genuine and not scripted to promote the fight is going to make for an explosive encounter.
I say again: Martinez needs to win by stoppage or wide decision. And I mean wider than what everyone had Pacquiao v Bradley scored. I don't think this can be left in the hands of judges.Comment

Nearly died laughing when I saw JCC Jr's plan to neutralize Martinez's movement.....Sergio Martinez has always been a "nice guy" of boxing. He has taken his close losses respectfully, and has never disrespected an opponent like he has Chavez Jr.

Martinez made valid points about Jr. His weight wasnt really the subject so I have no idea what youre ranting about bubba.No he isn't right. All that stuff does is facilitate quicker liquid elimination, something he could have done naturally with a little more time and trouble, I'd think. We know he can make 160 and remain strong. So what's all the fuss and the rubbishy accusations about?? Some people rehydrate more than others, with much of it liquids. Corrales, at only 130 lb rehydrated over 17 lbs before the Mayweather fight. Gatti at 140 lbs rehydrated over 20 lbs lbs against Joey Gamache.
So what if Chavez rehydrates up to 20 lbs.......??Comment
