I have never seen Sergio so exhausted between rounds 5-9. Chavez was holding is own (his face that is) but I was always getting the feeling that he was getting warmer, even as the blood flowed from his nose and mouth. When Sergio got cut, he did the right thing and turned it up but he just didn't have enough to stop Chavez and the end result is what it is. He was trying to knock Jr out like he said he would. like his previous fights. The return fire surprised him and he ended up paying the price in a fight he could of ran away with (literally). He knows what the fans expected. usually, Sergio is the stronger fighter after 10 rounds, but not in this case. i expect Sergio to go for broke early in the rematch, or to make sure to stay away (which he will most likely do). still he suffered a hand injury and a ligament tear both of which at his age will not help. i wish him the best though.

I became a fan of Jr and a bigger fan of Sergio. Sergio on a bad knee in round 12 finished strong. Kellerman called it. He basically said that Jr better try to close out the show, or risk embarrassment. Jr didn't embarrass himself. He almost did until he hurt Serg. I gave Jr round 2. Other rounds were close but Serg being the true champion that he is wouldn't let Jr take away the play.

Originally posted by richardt View PostWrong, if the public wants the fight, they will get it. People will fill the seats to see what they feel is either a repeat or a reversal. If JCC wants a rematch, he will get it. No way does Martinez turn down a huge payday.Last edited by kiaba360; 09-18-2012, 12:25 AM.

Originally posted by kiaba360 View PostI think what Raven meant was, Chavez will only get one chance at remaking history (Sr. stopped Taylor in the 12th). That would've been a defining moment in Jr's career had he pulled it off. It's highly unlikely that he'll ever find himself in that situation again.
