What is everyone's thoughts on this fight? Predictions? I'm guessing few people with give JCC a chance

I think Martinez is hugely overrated and I would not rule Junior out of a win.

Good fight if it happens i think Martinez will have too much for jcc and
Will stop him inside 9 .I would love to see Murray in with either of these 2.

The WBC will no doubt try everything they can to keep JCC the champion. I hope Martinez smashes him.

I've been a big Martinez supporter having followed his career before most people knew he existed and he's definately on the decline going off his last 2 fights against Darren Barker and Matt Macklin wheras Chavez Jr is coming into his peak plus beat better opposition in Rubio and Lee. This fight is all about timing and catching a guy just at the right moment and if Sergio fights Chavez like he did those other two then JR wins this pretty easily for me by mid to late round stoppage.

With Martinez winning less convincingly and jr looking better an better (an bigger an bigger) it looks as if Chavez has timed it right, 1 year ago it would have been Martinez easily but as they say timing is everything....
