Comments Thread For: Martinez Responds To Chavez: Accept Drug Testing!

[Null]

This is kind of weird. How come Martinez took the first fight if it was without drug testing? He was very arrogant saying he would beat him up, and he did beat him up. However, one has to wonder whether that thrashing he took in the last round has anything to do with his demands for drug testing. I get the feeling he is more reluctant to take the rematch, given what happened to him in the last round.

Just feed Jr. to GGG - period. Tests or no tests it would matter.

He dont deserve a rematch. Why because he got beat every round? Not just beat...BEAT UP! Or because he was smoking weed and not training? Whos fault is that? Take your loss and move on.

Really? The nerve of a Pac fan

Martinez responds To Chavez: Accept Drug Testing!

[MJ223]

I'm calling Martinez bluff.....

Chavez will accept it, not make weight, and then cal Martinez a coward for not wanting to fight him at 170. All the while Arum will take the reigns and do what he does best and spin the public to thinking he always wanted stricter testing and how TR is paving the way for others

Money and Martinez did ask for tests but Chavez and Arum, who called the shots then, refused

Really??? lol you must be picking with your heart instead of your brain...

Boxing will be no fun if you constantly picked the fighter most likely to win, at least from my point of view. Some people like to root for the underdog, some people like to root for the home team, some people like to only try and root for the winners. My trip is rooting for my fighters so in short yes I am picking with my heart, doesnt mean I dont have confidence Chavez jr can pull off the upset.

I am mexican but after 2 suspensions he really should stop doping himself.
Martinez calls the shots since he beat him bad last time if i recall.
If no drug testing then Chavez Jr. should forget about a rematch i dont care if people call that Sergio is ducking, since he did fought him doped.

I remember that he spoke about extra drug testing for the first fight, but he suddenly stopped discussing it. My belief is that he didn't want to give Chavez any reason to not accept the fight, so he dropped that demand. Now that Sergio is in the driver's seat, he has the leverage to demand the testing. I still don't think Chavez belongs at MW, and it wouldn't surprise me if he was taking shortcuts. It's not like he hasn't been caught before.
