    Looks like JFE is out of commission with bad COVID, but they've managed to draft Chocolatito a replacement. Julio Cesar Martinez...

    What an absolutely amazing fight. And, credit 100% needs to go to both for taking such a dangerous fight.

    Great news!!!

    I had zero interest in the rubber match.

    Much better matchup.

    To be fair, its still not a done deal.

    So to quote the fraud Fauci, ill stay "cautiously optimistic."

    :Confused:

    I already have my tickets to the 3rd fight and am far less interested in gonzalez Martinez. Very odd take

    Still a decent matchup if it happens but a massive let down nonetheless to me

    There's not much drama involved in the rubber match for me knowing its almost 100% gonna go the distance and be close.

    Good shit! I would say you're lucky to have tickets to this one. Wish I did.

    I'm thinking about going to Stevenson vs Valdez since its gonna be at the Garden.

    Why did you have zero interest in the rubber match?

    The second fight was inconclusive, and incredible. Why don't you wanna see a third?

    I wouldn't say zero, but I wasn't super excited either. I already outlined the reason.

    Couldn't be a much more better replacement fight, I'm really excited for this fight!
    Is it too early to call it a potential FOTY candidate??

    If Choco were in his prime, I think it's pretty clear he would dismantle Martinez. Perhaps he's at the point where a young lion can overwhelm him.

    Yeah, Gonzalez is a big favourite over Martinez at his best, but I think it should be said, Martinez has the talent to massively improve.

    martinez has fought twice since gonzalez had the war with estrada, and then got covid. martinez is also a hard hitting southpaw, but not as big and strong as rungvisai.

    Choco was younger when he fought Rungs.

    At his age, and being a lil guy, he can be washed up overnight.

    Yeah… I can’t think of many rubber matches that still carry alot of intrigue. Depends on the circumstances of course, but unless things have changed alot (and not just for the worse), then you’re unlikely to see anything new. Like a 3rd GGG-Canelo fight?? Please… close fight, GGG ‘landing’ slightly more, Canelo landing the harder shots at a higher % and taking a close decision. Can’t understand why anybody would prefer that over new matches.

    Pacquio vs Marquez were always close contested fights until Marquez did the unthinkable. I think if Canelo can dig to the body early he can stop GGG

    Canelo on all these new drugs, and without having to cut weight, on top of GGG being middle-aged, will lead to a late stoppage win for Canelo IMO.
