Don't really see how Chavez showed heart like some are proclaiming. He got his ass whooped but capitalized on Sergio purposely going toe to toe in the last round. Chavez looked horrible. f Sergio would've stuck to his plan (like he should've) in the let round, no one would be talking about heart and a rematch.
he showed heart, he aint quit. I mean my expectations for dude was really low. I thought as soon as Chavez took an L, he would quit and he didnt.


But yeah, unless Sergio doesnt train as hard and loses his legs there is not a chance in hell he loses to Chavez.

Chavez has a great chin, a great heart and good power. He just needed to get to work earlier. He was gonna have to take punches anyways, so why not get in there and go after the body? Martinez proved that hes good but not great, hes not on the elite level with Floyd but hes a very good fighter with a warrior heart

:myman: Ski Hat STAYS dropping gems

If they do rematch(which they shouldn't imo) Chavez won't win one round.

he's probably a coward, but his mexican blood trumps it.

is there's a rematch it would be more lopsided...and probably boring as hell. sergio would just box, eat up chavez with counter punches(again), but not be dumb enough to stand toe to toe in the final round. these dudes aren't in the same league.

Martinez messed up more than Chavez doing something great, Sergio just got caught being careless on the knockdown, wasn't necessary.

Why was Chavez Jr smiling like he had done something? It's like he doesn't care he lost the fight. I guess the knockdown in the last round made the beating in the other 11 worth it.

I think Martinez wanted to finish him in the 12th which is what led to him getting caught they way he did. You are out of your mind if you think that happens again in a rematch, Martinez will win a Floyd like pop shot sweep.
