Chavez vs Martinez: Ring Size

[intoccabile]

Like I said in another thread.......small rings should be the mandatory size for boxing fights. I pay to see people fight and not to run. There is no skill in running.

This is dumb. You pay to see one style of fighting then.

With small rings, there are huge parts of the game missing. The point of being a ring general becomes moot and having to know how to effectively cut off the ring becomes pointless too.

There is a reason some pressure fighters ultimately are better than others, and the small ring isn't that reason. The smaller the ring the less of a particular skillset you need to acquire.

Stupid idea.

Is there any evidence out there that shows a smaller ring gives Sergio a disadvantage at all? Look at how he fights...he gets really low and pounces on guys...guys who fight like that can fight the same regardless of ring size. You won't see JCCj doing a happy dance making fun of Sergio unless he feels like getting popped in the mouth for the hell of it.

Yes, there is. Sergio does a lot of posing and resetting. His best work is also from full arm extension. The smaller the ring, the less he has to create space to pose, get comfortable, and get full extension. Also, his movement, though wild at times, is his best friend. Pressure fighters should know how not to work in straight lines, but how to properly side step, pivot, and cut off the ring effectively. These skillsets aren't required in smaller rings.. and instead, the pressure fighter gets a huge advantage because he doesn't have to exert that extra energy anymore while his opponent has to exert MORE all of a sudden, in order to KEEP creating distance, as opposed to getting distance and getting a few seconds off.

If Jr. gets himself an 18 x 18 ft ring, Maravilla is in for a rough night.

Expect him to piss blood post fight regardless of whether he wins or loses..

Whatever jcc wants JCC will get

Not even kidding

Everything except the butt whooping Sergio will hand out to him
