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

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

The rematch is going down. Martinez will sign it as soon as it proposed.

If Chavez starts earlier, two things can happen, he can get caught or he can wear Martinez down and stop him mid to late. Just because Martinez stopped other guys doesn't mean he can against Chavez. Count on it, Chavez will jump on Martinez from round one and pressure him and punch when Martinez does instead of following him and starting late. He knows he can hurt Martinez.

the gall of this guy i tell u man only here,"martinez got nearly knocked that **** out was brutally beaten up but he made it the last 20 seconds with out gettin buckled " ******!!!!!!!!! Smoke much????Thats embarrassing! Im embarrassed for you and Martinez,I say dont knock a re-match martinez has nobody else to get this type of exposure anyhowm maybe chavez can turn it around maybe he cant ,but my lord dont praise one of the most embarrassing final rounds in a major fight,guy barley made it out of there, to say otherwise is ridiculous.

Boxingscene please forgive but he is a Jack Ass.

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 is 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.

uh huh sure dude its no less embarrassing and it certainly wont keep a rematch from happenning ,getting almost ktfo will cause an un-rematchable fight to become a must see rematch. your justifications are absurd sergio was a good flush shot or 2 from getting put away the evidence of that is he was hurt and knocked down and obviousley very hurt in the first place.
its like saying"i got run over by a car and got every bone broken in my body but that car couldnt do shiat"
Sergio ran away all night he hit and ran hit and ran hes a runner,Maybe he can do it again without almost getting knocked out, but its clear theres too many factors involved,MONEY,Pride,the fact the kid is still young and developing and the fact that martinez isnt getting younger nor developing,and vulnerable and does have exploitable flaws,time isnt on his side,both these guys would be fools to not rematch .Theres an obvious course to a victory for chavez as clearly as there is one for Sergio and it was on full dispaly in this fight .Thats the reality.

If anything is obvious from your posts, it's that you'll definitely be buying the rematch lol

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.

[Basco]

Its all about the Benjamins now and honestly, I woulnd't mind seeing Sergio putting another clinic!

dude your THE LEAST INDICATED PERSON TO SAY that your DELUSIONAL MAYWEATHER posts are legendary and iNFAMOUS!The stuff of legend trust me.

[Frank Ducketts]

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.

[mistermartin]

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.

His Chin is Questionable?? He got caught w/ a good shot. It's a fight. But he took hard shots all night from chavez & walk thru them. Khan is an example of a questionable chin...maybe a guy like bute...or jorge linares (maybe). JMM goes down in just about every fight for some reason...& we all know wut usually happens after that. Serg doesn't have a questionable chin...He got hit w/ a good shot at the right time. It's a fight. & this is why the rematch will happen. Bc that half a rd injected sudden drama in an already drama-filled grudge match. Each man has more incentive to prove detractors wrong & look at it as unfinished business. Just like pac & marquez. & I have no doubt the promotors will cheat martinez just to make a trillogy in the return bout. ESPECIALLY in cowboys stadium. It is wut it is...Maybe serge will make an added adjustment & knock this kid out. I doubt it tho. I don''t think at this stage julio can be ko'd. He's too big & has an iron chin....just a tough guy. Some guys u just can't knock out.
