fidelity sports talk in boxing is always the target robert actually editor in
chief about sin dot com robert how are you today
accrue to recovery often great
sumo this weekend in the sport of boxing
finally some
life to the sport well you could maybe argue that it happened a few weeks ago
but either way julio caesar chavez and sergio martinez
should be
very interesting fight allot of shit talking back and forth in the press
conferences
i want to start with julio cesar chavez the champion going into this fight even
though sergio martinez does not think that is deserving
to be a champion forty-six all when one with thirty to knock out the term throw
in two thousand three
and did not have an amateur career at all he did not even fight wants as and
amateurs let me ask you this
are you impressed at all that will lead us is a shabbat has gone from
literally jumping into the ranks as a professional
as opposed to building up in annexure career and possibly establishing himself
there
well yes of course when i was very impressive progresses feeding me having
no background in the emitters
he turned himself into a really solid pro
whether or not he is sees greater fighter back up later history or their
greatest middleweight living
uh... is open to question but he has turned himself into a really a solid and
dependable produce when he's in the ring
he debated sebastian civic
uh... from germany because
his sergio martinez was unfortunately script of his belt
for fighting sergei prisons are etc
now what does that just a moment the reason that i said sergio martinez does
not respect
julio says a sow the sooner is
uh... in clear writing actually is from the u_s_a_ today
quoting martinez it is very simple i cannot accept the fact that he is a
world champion the only reason he is will champion is because he's julio
cesar chavez junior the son of the legend
and his mouth is still big even bigger than his own brain andy's talking too
much standing there
if you are the quotes saying that bloodshot eyes could not make way
because of sometimes is lazy training that this is a rest on drunk driving
charges
preparing for citing its mark on tue nl ruby eliane suspended by the nscc for a
couple years for
filling in and so i don't think test skipping the drug guys urinalysis after
june title defense against andy hui which i thought was
a good when and his disrespect for hall of fame trainer freddie roach one
shabbat skips occasional training sessions in the gym and wrote was even
quoted as saying sometimes we train at one in the morning sometimes three in
the morning and sometimes we finish at six in the morning
but we got the work in every day in the martinez is quoted as saying afterwards
if that isn't insulting our sport i'm crazy i want to apologize for just a
moment the former uh... exit from an article from e_s_p_n_ what i just read
was from the u_s_a_ today
so late all
information that i just read robert axle what is your reaction to martinez saying
that he is disrespecting the sport
i can work it out to the next one point
um...
anna and i agree that uh... i believe that uh... one child as a success or
simply because of his father his father his alleged his father
was an incredible fighter on there's no question about that when a child as may
have reading on his coattails there's a cozy relationship with a bbc
and with all these who live on everybody know that
this about going on for years and actually extends back to his father
but i think
sergio has a really good point about disrespecting sport uh...
capable of helping shape is important i mean everybody's weight fluctuates
somewhat between flights
but not as radically as it as it does woohoo his assertion of his junior
um... in addition
pedido b_y_u_ had mentioned uh... vehicle drug test
failure that you mentioned inability bloody urine sample all of that you
mentioned all of these things are significant and they'd aric indicative
of
of somebody who doesn't take boxing as
as boxing really needs to be pecan
so i think uh... letting working as a really good point
one other argument that can be made from this is that
many people view julio caesar chavez as obviously now they've rags to riches
story he was given
pretty much everything because of his father's career
and that email act that motivation email after that fire
that could possibly take out martinez in the later rounds and stay competitive
throughout so that should be interesting as well he has made three title defense
as we look for his track record right here
uh... it when he teamed up with freddie roach they defeated john dot ian and
billy liau sebastian said a twenty-one martinez's w bc title
uh... for fighting surveys in zurich determine freighter junior marco antonio
ruby l anandhi lee what do you say to the naysayers who
lou doubt
shabazz juniors track record and his past flights
well uh... factory speak for themselves
um... vietnam beat the mideast leaders are world-class fighters
um... he's playing god church services more than could be always comes in the
least ten pounds overweight
amendment of the marie woke left middleweight champion um... media
consultant who fly
at all for their other fighters with belts
so he's really stepping it up and stepping it up in a major way
i don't know
but i do know that he's going out way of sergio was basically coming over to
junior middleweight
but he had a really rough water play a researcher martinez who is
who is really his own creation he's
so creative in the ring he's patsies of animals
people softball p_s_ power
and shot of the click onto him uh... there's no question the charlotte for
the quick skin
he's proven that the past but he hasn't fought up later
i think with us
strong s martinez who had as much power versus
martinez
and resolution of as martinez's weapons shoppers could i have
it'll be easy day for chauffeur hurt for shabbat junior
do you think that will you just said that uh...
uh... seven is junior will be you most likely
stalking sergio martinez in this fight if that is so do you think that martinez
will be comfortable enough and will be acclimated
moved fighting with his back
not against the ropes but going back or do you think that he'll be comfortable
with that
i don't think it's a problem are open to public because you're going to be able
to buy counter shop this is uh... punches are shot of plunges uh... i
don't think of market it upon himself at the back the ropes
he has a six sense about where he is in the rain i mean he's incredibly grateful
and fluid fighter settlement is going to get trapped grotesque that's what
they're
at without shabazz afraid to go to try to do
so that you know pitted against the ropes
uh... skeptical of her body shot
but martinez knows shoppers with the back of his hand
uh...
he knows what to expect a knows exactly what he's going to do
to avoid uh... what is the freddie and uh... who is getting a lot of what to do
sergio martinez let's talk about him for a minute this is a record of forty nine
to ensue with twenty eight nine thousand story is no
necessarily of the norm for most professional boxers
he's from argentina he was a astounding soccer player and in amateur cyclists he
took over boxing at the age twenty let me say that again it about boxing at age
twenty is now thirty seven years old one of the most feared fighters in all of
boxing
you know it's hard and we talked about this before its
he's either say that you know what because he fought later
he's now entering his private home long ten this guy's prime lasted three thirty
seven years old
well are we'll find out doable right up saturday night but as you know the limit
dot you boxers
retired at age of thirty two that was a normal battle over the door anymore as
you-know-who
we have a point com johnson we have uh...
bernard hopkins i mean there are a lot of fighters
who are past their prime
uh... yet who keep writing and yet martinez
i thirty seventy two youngsters seven he entered the gym not to study boxing but
the sort of training in the office season for soccer
and what he gotten what you have a chat me like you to go through a lot easier
than soccer which is running around all day
uh... you'd like to be the took to it
and he uses the athleticism that he brought to the gym for the first time to
his boxing
and because he felt train demean incredibly unconventional player
unconventional
in the way that i'll be with unconventional not in the
same way but it
in a way to uh... self created
so there's no blueprint
for fighting
the shah better to be for forty martinez except the watches tapes
hope that you couldn't figure out what the blueprint is and then hope that we
can deal with it so much he misses
employees will use little boxes yes
she's one of the top five amflicon fighters on the planet right now
and um...
shabazz spotlight i die i can see it being otherwise
what is the blueprint
robert i mean you've seen at ton of fights in your career
covering this great support
what is the blueprint to possibly beating sergio martinez
i think you try to help boxset i think that's what it is side i mean you look
at their own parker who is not a world beater
but there are a broader put on the dampen performance um... addicts
martinez and it was my boxing it
it was quite how to get played defense
using the jab it was like at a classical boxer
that he was he able to sort of
make an impression eventually martinez broken down and you knock them down and
won the fight
but but but
but he book backorder perot agreed performance
uh... opposing shop is not possible boxer i mean that's not what he's
gephardt his guitar power
of that
progress talk of the body conscious are that one chin
but it's not a complete boxing skills
i don't know which i was can do except again
tribe try to pull martinez to the ropes you try try to drive trapped on the
corner trees or we can deliver his his heavy bombs
but again
mckiness knows of a batch of comic and he's going to use every inch of that
rain to avoid getting it
and he's going to be counted all the time of chart is the mca mom bring
forward and what is going to be sharp shooting
robert martinez's kore has been the subject of the months conversation
since gabby sarmiento who was his long-time trainer they met in spain
the sarmiento recognize the talent that sergio has started training him
and before these surveys in zurich fight hw y
held in custody for aggravated battery
battery and then he was sent back
to spain
so his brother pablo sarmiento takes the reins
and become sergio martinez is trainer and now i read off of boxing scene dot
com that naseem richardson will also be in the corner as in assistant trainer
what do you say that do you think that this could possibly be a distraction or
do you like it didn't like the fact that now zine
has a track record of going in the opposing players i see the opposing
fighters dressing room and realizing that you know what there may be some
problems of the hand wraps wrap them again
uh... i went on forever with that engine but overall what do you think
well i think uh... i think i think it's good beer over the bad idea
and european regarding the d_n_a_ quarter is steve quite correct
i think they don't want any funny business dignity and they know there's
been funny business in the past
with a shabbat and uh... and his plates
and that will prevent that
so having from the late nineteen who is really smart really smart knowledgeable
boxing guy
you know to do
to make sure that everything is in place
for the flight happens
make a great deal of steps i don't think that
that uh... sarmiento in not english to the boat going to be giving it plays
to sergio corner
i mean surgeon knows would he have to do uh... champion
certain point
really become his own trainer at these people are are called seconds because
that's what they are there
second they're not first picture
serve the interests of sergio martinez
and they will not be competing with each other
they will be serving the interest
spicejet martinez years that sergio martinez lost a controversial decision
to paul williams since that loss however he has been almost
unstoppable fighting with the chip on his shoulder in very quickly he fought
kelly tablet dismantled kelly pavlik is a better way to put its demolished paul
williams into rounds which was
uh... he was crowned the champion on that day but he was also crowned
knockout of the year if you haven't seen a couple link in the description below
surveys in zurich
cross surveys in zurich
a nothing fights
their marker mackey maplin
uh... all fights and in the eleventh rounds but
they were very combative they really were in these guys landed some punches
on sergio martinez
so let me ask you this
maybe one criticism that you could have for both fighters is that their defense
is
maybe at times do not exist for sergio martinez he fights with his hands down
he is a bread and he is an athletic mo fo
but he keeps his hands down the entire time bro this is a shabbat
his hands are so far apart from the stacy's jet your way in
sold whose defense if there even is any will hold up
i'm assuming that the defense of rocket bundled up because i was in part
which he misses too late
are
intra-party defense he's incredibly fast lately as incredibly
eloquent he he's going to be moving around the ring i mean he can i eat
cookies advocacy comes in of but again he likes to fire off porches
some strange angles of the reasons and slow
deceptive because people
feel as though there's an opening there
but courses in the pic dikha shot
is out of the way i adore you counters
i think with my peers and request you play tickets parker and matt and i think
back in markets
for down the is competition in those fights that he's not the first person to
do that
nor will he be the last
but i think you've
psyched for this flight have been more site could deflate probably than any
fight his career
and the best for you market is that there is
is going to be in the ring tomorrow night and on eight might hyper state
really looking forward to to watching it performed
whether it would lose or draw i'm looking for to watch and for have you
ever seen sergio martinez talked this much snack
before a fight too
uh... well i have not
i have not i'm you know i think he is really emotional about this side me i
have spoken with him in the past and again he has referred to charlotte
chicken and
too many many of the
teams that have been you know have been have have evan brutalized
incessantly over the past month or two
uh... were always percolating below the surface but now with the flat is being
made he flew it's a black church of our team has unleashed
anything exactly what he feels a tiny what he's been feeling and again
e one could say that all of the motion is a negative thing but i think once he
gets in the rain
own there will be no more talking will be no more talking will be necessary to
let interest to the talking
uh... he has a point to prove up not only to
the boxing world at large but also to
who's pretty much others junior which is basically that
martinez boobies that he's a fraud and he's going to expose him sellers junior
will make three million dollars minimum on the side and sergio martinez will
make one point four million dollars
minimum on this fight martinez leslie was quoted as saying shabbat will get
more money
but he's going to get more of a beating too
robert absolute your prediction for this flight would go the distance will there
be a knockout what say you
uh... i do not will go to kristin i really do believe fat
sergio is going to stop child as junior i'd believe in the tenth or eleventh
round uh... i think he's going to take a battering
uh... once you get past the first the middle per gets into the middle lounge i
think charge or take over and that he could be landing a lot of a child is
really a very frustrated and i wouldn't
surprise me at all is shot this were to go down at least wants
sizzler remind you guys mexican independence day on saturday
