Comments Thread For: S. Martinez: I'll Break Chavez's Face a Thousand Times

[v.cassiusali@ya]

sergio's days are numbered...chavez will be fired up come fight night, shame this humbug from argentina...i just hope sergio will not run and face chavez toe-to-toe.

I don't see how people can even root for Chavez Jr.

Chavez's style is tailor made for Sergio.

1) Stamina won't be an issue for Martinez.
2) Chavez is too slow
3) He has mediocre defense
4) Chavez has good power but Sergio i feel has atleast that much power.

Sergio is def not afraid, i think he has a pure dislike for Chavez Jr. and is probably the most hungry he's ever been. He's going to knock this kid out. I don't see this as a close fight at all.

I'm growing weary of seeing headlining articles of Sergio's hate on Chavez Jr. Although I'm supporting him, I think this is a bit too much.

[~AK49~]

I understand what you're saying. But from the HBO face off, Martinez was as cool as anything. I didn't see fear at all. I think it's more genuine dislike due to how difficult the fight has been to make and from what Chavez Sr was saying many months ago when he launched personal insults on Martinez.

So I don't blame him for it. He's clearly very sharp mentally and I think now he has the limelight on him he's making the most of it.

I think Chavez is a very difficult fight and it will be close. But I think Sergio knows that too. He's just having his fun now he's finally got the world boxing stage.

dislike + selling the fight/himself to the public imo. He is trying to get the big money fights, and in order to do so he needs to make himself more popular among mainstream and draw more attention to himself, thats probably a part of it.

All things considered, i think i

Sergio Martinez has been the One talk so much **** about Chavez jr, cant wait for Chavez to shut that mouth once and for all, like Chavez sr. did to Edwin Rosario when he talked **** back in the days.

[Johnny Dough]

somebody's scared. trash talking for the first time?

I tinks its because of dis is a ppv fight instead of a regular BAD fight. Dis Martinez has been askin for dis fight for a while, Da kid been running scared for 2 years.

Sergio will look like a fckin idiot if the fight turns out mediocre.

All this trash talking nonsense only helps Chavez.

The more he talks about KOing Chavez the more he looks like a bitch for not engaging in exchanges or taking risks when the time comes.

All he is doing is putting more pressure on himself to take risky chances to get the knockout, risky chances that Jr can capitalize on.

He's stopped his last 4 opponents, and said he would stop his last 3 before-hand. What more can you ask from him?

I think Sergio's vocalizing his anger/frustration for two reasons: A) He's selling the fight to the best of his ability, and B) He wants Chavez to come in reckless and over-eager, and then take advantage.

He's probably a bit anxious, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. He was anxious before the 2nd Williams fight, and look what happened there.

trash talking

Not to surprise of Martinez excesive trash talking, a lot of Argentinian celebrities are the same for example soccer player Maradona. The only reason why u didn't see Martinez trash talk before is just because he was never expose to a PPV fight event. So if you are Mexican and go for Martinez u should be shame on yourself. Throw away that selfishness from the son of the legend and give him a chance!

[Twako]

common sense will dictate this fight favors sergio if he keeps his distance. but maybe his bravado could be his own downfall if he engages the bigger junior in a phone booth fight.

[ikim322]

Martinez never was much of a trash talker; my take is that maybe he has some fear of Chavez jr. After all, who has he beat lately? He seems like a good fighter but you can't really tell because the biggest person on his resume to me is the fight where he knocked out Paul Williams, and Williams seem to have fallen off.

His other impressive fight was against Kelly Pavlik and an old Bernard Hopkins schooled him. Williams lost his fight against Lara; so it's really hard to access Martinez's ability because his last few fights were against tomato cans!!

Do you watch boxing? Or do you just wikipedia **** afterwards? Seems like the latter. Williams sure seems to have fallen off. How do you have more than 2 posts and aren't banned for ******ity?
