Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs Sergio Martinez Post Fight Discussion thread

[Redd Foxx]

Martinez has not beaten nobody at Cotto's level and you know it.

Strange, I'm having trouble thinking of recent Martinez opponents who wouldn't beat Cotto. Nothing against Cotto, but Sergio would maul him. That's common sense.

He said Martinez "knows where to put punches". That's basically it. He said that "he lost the fight, Martinez did not beat him". He did not give him any complements and simply insisted he proved he was on Maravilla's level and that he could hurt him, and that he simply started too late. Yeah, Julio, the 12th round is pretty late to "start". SMH.

Sergio is a gentleman and a philanthropist outside the ring, but inside, he's gonna hurt and embarrass you. While on the other hand, Chavez is a moron (inside and outside), his lack of social intelligence is astonishing to me. He acts every bit his age, so immature.

sergio shuts them down with the facts. basically slapped arum in the face right there. chavez jr could submit a glass of apple juice for the urine test and those scumbags in texas won't even care.

I wish ya'll could understand it, cuz I don't feel like translating lol. Basically, Jr gave NO credit to Martinez and made a bunch of excuses, it's really pathetic. He kept repeating "I just couldn't get off!" and "I started late!" and he even said Sergio never hurt him -___-. This guy is really a fuckin joke. He sounds like a whiner. God, I don't understand how he has fans. How do ya'll defend this guy?

Sergio's post-fight interview with Golpe A Golpe, can't embed it cuz it won't allow me to.

Sergio is probably the best speaker in boxing today, dude is like a poet.

[Alx.]

martinez did hit chavez with some hard shots that obviously hurt him....noone actually hurt chavez like that before

He may not get that big but I'm sure he will reach his heaviest...he will be sedentary...in all likelihood depressed and have to weather through alot of doubts about himself...and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he develops some very nasty habits. It may all very well do him in as a fighter spiritually...and a broken orbital bone often does-in a fighter physically.

Ever since the fight was announced I kept thinking Jr won't really go through with it...I really only started to believe it would happen when he showed up for the weigh-in. He had no business being there. I honesty think that he believed all the BS that was created to hype and sell him...and now reality will set in and although he is talking up a rematch...I wouldn't be at all surprised if stays away from boxing for a very long time...maybe forever. I think Martinez did more than just break his face...he may have broke him period...and I said as much in a thread a week before the fight that this would happen. He had never step in the ring with anyone even close to 1/2 the skills and talent of Martinez...and it would be way to much for him to deal with mentally as well as physically.

Chavez will walk away at least with a small moral victory that he had Martinez badly hurt in the 12th. I don't think it's as serious as you say bro, he'll be back. He may not have his dad's skills but he inherited his courage and machismo.
