WBC rules Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. must face Sergio Martinez next
December 15th, 2011
By Dan Ambrose: At the WBC’s 49th annual convention the WBC determined that World Boxing Council middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31 KO’s) must face former WBC middleweight champ Sergio Martinez (48-2-2, 27 KO’s) unless Chavez Jr. and Martinez can agree to fight other opponents rather than each other.
It’s up to Cotto if he’s agreeable to it otherwise Chavez Jr. and Arum will have to decide whether it’s worth it or not to fight Martinez. Given that Chavez Jr. stands no chance against Martinez, it’s highly doubtful that Arum will agree to let Chavez fight Martinez. More likely will be Chavez Jr. vacating his title and possibly going after one of the weaker middleweight champions like IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale or WBA champion Felix Sturm.
Both of those guys are very beatable. Sturm is on the downslide of his career and Geale has no power and just bounces around. Arum won’t put Chavez Jr. in with the regular WBA champion Gennady Golovkin because he’s got one-punch power and he’d have too many opportunities to knock Chavez Jr. out due to his lack of defensive skills.

It just goes to show that boxing right now is in a sad state overall. Sergio Martinez is a good fighter,but by no means great. People here are talking about him like if he were some unbeatable legend,and that’s not the case. As a matter of fact,i would bet my money on Pirog taking care of him,if Martinez had the courage to take that fight. Chavez jr. is a tad above an average fighter,but i would give him a decent chance at beating the overrated Martinez.
Chavez will win everyone underestimates chavez but this is boxing and thats why profesional boxer traine,a punch can change a fight there are 12 rounds in a championship match.chavez wins.beleive me.
We want Pirog or Golo. Man up Sergio, you’re too greedy. Have Lou call the russian mafia if it’s money you’re after.
Cotto will beat him up badly too so where to run to sergio or cotto either way he loses
mexicant all over again lol
Man the WBC is on a role! First Bernard vs Chad, then Chavez vs Martinez! Whats next Kirkland vs Canelo?!
Good that is a great fight to watch. Saul Alveraz vs Shane Mosley and Miguel Cotto vs Cornelius Bundgrage
RUN CHAVEZ RUN
barker may have lost to sergio but at least he had the balls to get in the ring with him!! shows summit about the british boxers dont it!! they aint scared to face a challenge
its about time, hopefully chavez will be shown to be the hype job every1 knows he is
Have anyone here have seen BrokeBack Mountain ? My Favorite.
chavez will lose but it will be a good fight..
Chavez will lose if they fight…but sumthin is tellin me if it happens Chavez will give Maravilla a hell of a fight!…
Looks like some great fights ahead in this division! A lot can happen but it goes to show, no matter if you are a recognized champion, it dont mean youre the best!!!!!
chavez jr es una verguenza para todo latino, es un fraude aun mas! le va a pagar a maravilla para que no pelen sino veran.
Martinez is real deal here . Chavez must face this guy now! .Justice will be serve once again.
Chavez jr wont fight cause he knows he’ll lose and arum wont let him fight martinez cause he knows he’ll lose. If chavez decides to face him, he’ll have my respect
Sergio needs to quit,nobody wants to fight that nobody. Ant that’s the truth.
I will definately watch this on ppv.This is a very good matchup.
if this mexican doesn’t fight martinez he will always be known as being a scared little boy. you mexicans are suppose to be fearless right? So why is your boy scared?
YA NO HAY A DONDE CORRER CHAVEZ JR QUE VAS A HACER AHORA??
viva chavez jr
I like the way they left Chavez an out. What good does it do to rule he must face Martinez, then put stipulations on it? Waste of time.
Chavez Jr.: Orders, sir???
Bob: VACATE! VACATE! ABANDON SHIP! RUN! RUN!
Isn’t it amazing that you have a fighter like Sergio Martinez around and the man can’t get a fight? No way are they letting “little Julio” get in there with Maravella.
