Comments Thread For: Chavez: Rematch is Justified, I Hurt Him Like Nobody Else

[vacon04]

As somebody who was rooting for Martinez, I'm surprised so many people are dismissing the idea of a rematch. Martinez was nearly knocked out, if Chavez Jr lets his hands go early in a rematch things could be interesting. If he opens up more, BOTH guys could get knocked out so why wouldn't you wanna see it?

In a rematch I only see 2 possibilities

First: Another boxing clinic from Martínez for most of the fight, but this time Maravilla won't get overconfident and would easily beat Jr

Second: Jr throwing punches like a madman since round 1 and getting KOd a la Williams. You just can't throw many punches when Martínez is so fast and powerful.

Jr was in a shell not because he felt "tied up", but because he felt Martínez power and realized that if he started opening up he was going to get seriously hurt.

I won by picking Martinez and I'll win picking JCC in the rematch. By the way, I'm going to be around for a long time and you're not going to do a damn thing about it...don't like it, tough **** lady, you can take your Prozak if you have an issue with that.

Alright, so if there's a rematch you're betting your account?

might as well have Marquez and Mayweather re match for the hell of it too i guess lol

Of course Jr deserves a rematch. That doesn't mean that if Jr starts earlier, he will win. Jrs aggression may bring out the best in Martinez.

[josenoway]

lmao, we really need to watch another 11.5 rounds of martinez exposing jr.

[Light_Speed]

Was he knockdown? Yeah, was he about to get KO? No, even when he got up you didn't see him hold and went toe to toe with a cruiserweight.

Just because he didn't hold doesn't mean he was ok, he was badly hurt. It's pretty clear Jr was probably on his way to stopping him. He may have done it in a 15 round fight.

In a rematch I only see 2 possibilities

Jr was in a shell not because he felt "tied up", but because he felt Martínez power and realized that if he started opening up he was going to get seriously hurt.

There's also the possibility of Jr catching Martinez with one of those bombs early and putting him away. The 2nd possibility you listed is the most likely to happen though. We all know Jr will try harder in a rematch so it would result in a more explosive fight regardless of who wins, that's why I wanna see it.

[Frank Ducketts]

Had Martinez ran, he probably gets stopped. The fighter in Martinez allowed him to finish. One big left by Serg slowed Jr, and that's all Serg needed.

at first I didn't like the idea of a rematch because it was a clinic for 11 .5 rounds.....but then i looked at it from sergio's point of view...It makes business sense...i dont think floyd is ever gonna come to the table so this is the biggest fight sergio will ever get...

[WesleySnipes]

Sergio should do it...he deserves the money and its easy work...he could train 1 week for this fight and would still outbox Jr...
