Comments Thread For: “Fighting Words” – Does One Round Require a Rematch?

[boxingfan76]

The only reason a rematch would be warranted is if Sergio dominated Junior for 11-1/2 rounds and then got stopped in the last minute of the 12th round. And since that is not what happened no rematch is necessary. Unless of course you are a Junior fan and are clinging on hoping one happens out of utter despair and desperation.

No. it would'nt be warranted if it were an early knockdown ,but since it was a damn near knockout in the MOST IMPORTANT round of all you can bet your azz there will be a re-match because aside from the previous 10 rounds that sergio won the seeds of doubt and what -ifs have been sown,Even in the minds of Sergio fans especially in their minds because now they know this guy can be hurt and possibly ko'd by Chavez junior while Chavez fans know that martinez wasnt even able to shake this kid thats a big big differece , and agin if your martinez or chavez you have plenty to be embarrased about again almost getting KTFO in sergios case and losing in 10 rounds in Chavez jr will do that.

11 dominating rounds vs 1 haymaker that didn't KO Sergio for good. Rematch? I'll pass thank you.
There's a reason Arum wants this supposed rematch in Texas: Lax PED protocol, TR/Texas Judges, Tiny Ring, Texas (aka North Mexico). Forget that....Sergio made a name for himself now it's time to either take on Floyd, Cotto/Trout winner, or Canelo. Or even move up in weight and prep for a scrap with Ward at 168 by taking Aurthur Abraham's trinket of a belt. Then on to Ward in a P4P classic.

Martinez showed tremendous heart surviving, but he suffered a broken hand and ligament damage to the knee, and was damn near stopped in the.12th-AFTER dominating for 11 rounds...and this fight doesn't deserve a rematch? Please.

I don't understand your logic. He survives almost a full minute with 2 injuries, yet the fight deserves an immediate rematch? You guys are trying so hard that it's ridiculous.

..... if your martinez or chavez you have plenty to be embarrased about again almost getting KTFO in sergios case..... will do that.

So NOT getting KTFO and actually GETTING UP from a flush left hook at the hands of a Cruiserweight to finish out a lopsided win with a busted hand and knee is embarrassing?

GTFOH!

one round is definitely more than enough grounds to demand a rematch. it only takes one punch to change the course of a fight and one round has the potential of incurring a hundred punches just from one boxer. do the math. martinez showed how crafty he can get with his punches in bunches and footwork but his chin is questionable. martinez was dominating the entire fight but one punch from chavez, jr. was all it took to almost take it all away. so a rematch is definitely justifiable.

Great post some much needed common sense to painfully obvious stuff and boxing 101 green k

one round is nothing? fuc k that ....move on and beat the other paper Champion Canelo........Sergio hates this tipe of Champion that don't deserves to be Champions ....

Look at what happens the last 20-30 seconds of the round, and look at Sergio's legs. Look at the punches that Chavez is landing on him as Sergio is against the ropes. This is the moment that Jr. and all his fans were waiting for, and what could he do? Nothing. The most vulnerable that Martinez has looked in the entire fight, and Jr. couldn't capitalize, he didn't have it in him.

If Sergio was as hurt as most people believe, then Chavez should've been able to stop him, it really is that simple. So either Sergio wasn't that hurt or he's Superman, or Chavez doesn't have power.

Thank you for posting the video!! Martinez got up right away, walked straight to the ref, and kept on ****ing with Chavez who couldnt finish him even in his "weakened state". Another 20 sec Chavez would have KO him? He had over a minute to do it and couldnt. Martinez never ran, never got on his bike as some would say, he stayed in there and showed his heart. Chavez, the much bigger guy, just doesnt have the skill to hang with him. NO REMATCH until Chavez beats legit comp first.

If Chavez Jr beats any other middleweight in the top 10 then yes he deserves a rematch. He didnt deserve that POS belt he had and now he deserves an immediate rematch? Lost damn near every round and couldnt put away a small middleweight while he gets in the ring at light heavy or cruiserweight? GTFOH. Beat Geale, or Pirog, or Quillen or Golovkin and then MAYBE...

Dude how on earth can anyone beleive floyd whom just went life and death with cotto would EVER fight a true top elite GUY LIKE MARTINEZ???Where is the evidence?who has fraud jr fought EVER in his career that would indicate hed take a risk like that? he wont even fight manny!,Were goin on the 4th manny JMm fight a fighter floyd esily beat and were STILL waiting on mayweather to just fight him once ! even a past prime Manny!he ducked every important fighter out there and it will stay that way, when it come to real top fights I have no idea WHY mayweathers name is even invoked! Maybe mayweather will fight danny garcia or ponce deleon as those are the types of fighters he frequently fights.

funny thing is Martinez the supposed best middle weight around wants nothing to do with any of those guys and has flat out ducked them,and yet he almost gets KTFO by a guy frequently called every name in the book,no a rematch it is doesnt matter how hard sergo fans cry he damn near was decapitated.
