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

[GRUSTLER]

A rematch should not be granted because of the KD it only happened because Martinez didn't cruise the last round and still went for the kill.

As ****** as it was it just makes Martinez more of a legend in my book, to outclass a guy for 11 rounds and then still want to hurt and stop a guy with a chin and 20 pound weight advantage, and with only a KO chance of winning the fight to still go for the kill and fight back after being knocked down in my opinion makes him the top dog in the sport.

I know Mayweather hasn't lost but you would never get Mayweather fighting like that aganst a guy that much bigger than him in the last round of a fight he has dominated.

The rematch should only happen if Martinez wants it and makes him a substantal amount of money.

I'm praying he makes money by fighting money and honestly think he will give Floyd hell.

As great as Mayweather is as a boxer/fighter, I have always felt like Sergio Martinez would be the first to beat him if they fought.

Your ****ing deluded, go and look at Chavez's face, then go look at the scorecards, then look at your rep power then call yourself mushahadeen then delete your account.

Haven't seen mushahdeen ever since.

Haven't seen mushahdeen ever since.

If the PPV numbers come out and they are good, then he'll come back with his usual dinero de vaca talk.

[danceswithfire]

yes, becuase sergio almost got ktfo....

PPV numbers should be real good $$. I honestly dont think Chavez can make the 160 limit comfortably anymore. He is walking around at 185 or so right now. He is a big kid and I didn't doubt he was the stronger fighter in there. But the last minute after Martinez got knocked down said alot about him as fighter. He stood up and traded with Chavez and Chavez just couldn't do it. AT this point Martinez was a 1 armed fighter. I definitely have to say Chavez Jr. gets hit way too much and that chin of his is ready to crack.

The writer is correct, but after all, boxing is a business, and it makes good business to dwell on "what might have been" snd promote a return.

I did think that he could have picked better examples than the Conn and Taylor fights. Conn was ahead on 2 cards and Louis could still have won on points. One judge had it even. It was like the Marquez-Pacquiao fights in that Louis was expected to walk all over Conn.

If the Taylor fight had gone to the judges it would have been a split decision for Taylor, although this fight was a better example than the Conn fight because he was well ahead on 2 cards.

The Moorer-Foreman fight is a better choice I think, because unless Foreman knocked him out, there was no way he could win. And the recent Bailey-Mike Jones fight is another good example where Bailey was ahead on all cards with no way to win except by a KO.

But neither of these as return fights would pay as they'd likely do poorly at the box-office.

Almost ain't good enough homie. Sergio got up and went head up with Chavez Jr and ended the fight on his feet. Bell didn't save him. Chavez Jr didn't do $#!t.

[boxingfan76]

I have and idea. Why don't you watch the 12th round 12 times in a row and then you can convince yourself that Junior actually won the fight.

And i have one why dont you **** OFF,hagler sux hes a crybaby that retired and ran away afte rthe leaonard fight GTFOH

No need for a rematch, the KD really did sugarcoat things for a lot of people lol, Fact is Martinez is too quick for Chavez.
