Comments Thread For: Martinez Survives Final Round To Decision Chavez Jr.

All you Chavez haters. I would have to seen you ****ting yourselfs in that last 12th round. LMFAO!!!

Maravilla won the fight but Junior won the EVENT. Jr. just mandhandled and beat up one of the best fighters pound for pound. Jr was right, Sergio does know how to dance LOL!!

Happy ending. Deserving guy won, while Chavez showed the world he can hang with the best. Cong**** Martinez!

Exactly how did he show he can hang with the best? He was given a lesson for 11 rounds and landed a shot on a tired fighter who still got up and traded with him.

wow what a 12th round. martinez did what he needs to win but he didn't live up to his pre-fight hype...vowing numerous times to ko chavez.

Sergio showed more heart in this fight alone then most boxers shown during their entire career.

It's laughable reading how some of you guys are actually **** talking Sergio for getting knocked down by a lightheavyweight in the last round of a masterful performance.

Sergio did not run once, every time the light heavyweight hit Sergio, Sergio swung back, every time the lhw got Sergio into a corner instead of holding, Sergio attacked with combinations and slug it out.

He showed a huge amount of heart and it's amusing reading how Jr fans are saying
OH IF JR DID THAT EARLY ON, he would have won.

Jr actually did hit Sergio with massive single punches, Sergio just struggled it off and back it up with 3-4's. But I guess be proud of Jr's 30 seconds and believe he have now discovered a 'formula' for beating Martinez.

chavez also took those bombs from martinez.


safe to say chavez jr's chin is granite.

but everytime else is below-average. he needs to work on footwork and cutting the ring.

WOW, they released the KD footage to Sports Center? The new HBO/ESPN deal pays off. Cha-ching goes the rematch.

If Chavez Jr. Would have come in at an even weight, who do you think would have been KTFO? Honestly? I would expect a fighter who threw as few punches as Chavez to have a little gas in the tank at the end. He didn't do much else. He did not look impressive. And it was only dramatic because Sergio nearly gassed himself after throwing 900+ punches and winning every round, even the ones he almost lost he came back and won convincingly. Even at the end, when Chavez was throwing all he had, Martinez got back up and threw right back at him until the end. All this fight showed to me is Martinez did what he said he was going to do. Bust up Chavez Jr's face... and the only reason he didn't knock him out is because Jr. in with a midget stashed in his trunks.

Dang Mang,,,???? I thought Chavez came in one pound under Sergio at the nice weigh in mang

Chavez LOST !!!!!! But he won something GREAT in the hearts of TRUE fight fans , fans that for years long to see , they got to see it tonite and to deny that , you need to go back to playing cracker jacks and let boxing fans deal with the fights

How many miles did Sergio back pedal today? I mean cmon he stunk up the joint.

Seemed to me like Chavez was back peddling at one point. Go figure.

If Jr have done what he did in round 12 since round 1 he would've been brutally KOd at the beginning of the fight.
