Comments Thread For: Pelullo: HBO Wants Vera Back; Martinez/Golovkin Possible

It wasn't only because of how Jr performed, because that was balanced out by the fact that Jr was at least a Cruiserweight by the time the fight started so Vera was fighting a much bigger guy which means Vera did fight great under those circumstances.

Jr's poor performance includes his weight issues (I mentioned this even before the fight -- it's embarrassing to force a small middleweight to face a cruiser weight.)

I read the title as...Martinez vs Golovkin possible at first. Knew that'd be too good to be true.

Would love to see Martinez face Vera in Argentina for his so called 'tuneup' fight. I think Vera would give a valiant effort but the much faster, and skilled Martinez would pick him apart.

Also, what about matching Vera up against Andy Lee in a rubber-match? Lee is back on track with his career and facing his old foe would elevate him into title contention again. Or...Vera KTFO Lee

I would like to see that. I bet Lee would like that as well.

I did too.

Me too, and not the only one by looks. Like when they show a trailer that has nothing to do with the damn movie...

But its very impressive when a guy like Vera beats a Cruiserweight which is what he really did. It would be one thing if JC was just out of shape and then Vera couldn't get credit but the fact that Vera was in the ring with a Cruiserweight and used an active, excellent style is impressive.
