Comments Thread For: Martinez's Trainer: I Hope Chavez Jr. Weighs 190-Pounds

[Infamous]

Wynn Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV - BoxingScene caught up with Sergio Martinez's trainer Pablo Sarmiento to get his thoughts on their upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The fight takes place at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las vegas and will be broadcast by HBO pay-per-view.

Its no secret that Chavez has struggled to make weight in some of his recent fights. He routinely rehydrates to over 180 pounds on fight night after squeezing down to the 160 pound weight limit the day before. [Click Here To Read More]

Man, 50.5 hrs and counting!~

Martinez better start fast because if he doesn't make Jr respect him early, he'll get ran through. He has the power to do it, but I just don't know in this particular fight who will win.

I feel the same way. I'm pulling for Martinez but I can't call it

i wasn't going to bet on this fight...but it's been awhile, and i eventually did. i still kinda see it could go either way. Hope i win...lol. I like Martinez, but bet on the guy i don't...

It depends on how Jr chooses to fight. If he takes a page from the Barker/Macklin fights and decides to box with a low work-rate instead of pressure, then Martinez will have his work cut out for him. If he comes forward and follows Sergio (which I expect him to do), then he's setting himself up for a bad night. Pressure and a high work-rate alone shouldn't be enough to get Martinez outta there.

Simple Jack wont even try to make weight because he knows Sergio will fight him anyways. Bank on it. He knows his only chance is to outweight Sergio Tua style.

I think Martinez and his people are hoping/expecting for Chavez to look like he did vs Rubio... Like shit with shit stamina.

If Chavez loses, I expect excuses. He's gonna bitch about cramps or being weight-drained, something will be said.

Only one with excuses will be Sergio and his delusional fans.

The only excuse Im expecting is "Chavez was drained" or if Martinez loses "Chavez is a fkin Cruiserweight."
