By Dan Ambrose: If former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32 KO’s) wants to get a rematch with the new WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (50-2-2, 28 KO’s) next year then Chavez Jr. is going to have to agree to Olympic style random blood testing the month before the fight because that’s what the 37-year-old Martinez is insisting on in order to give the young Chavez Jr. a shot to recapture World Boxing Council title.

Martinez said to Argentine Spanish daily AS in quoted by the record.com. mx “If you want to box there (Cowboys Stadium), put in the condition to undergo Olympic controls (blood), one month, one week and one day before the fight.”

I think that might be the deal breaker in getting a fight with Chavez Jr. I’d be very surprised if Chavez Jr. agreed to random blood testing, even though he would be just another challenger in a rematch and not in the position to dictate the terms of the fight. You can understand why Martinez might want to have random blood testing done before a rematch with Chavez Jr. given that the Mexican son of Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. has been caught twice using banned substances in the past.

I’m not sure what Martinez hopes to gain from getting Chavez Jr. to agree to Olympic style random blood testing. If Chavez Jr. is using diuretics to lose water weight a day before the fight then the normal testing that’s done should catch him in doing this. Random blood testing would be useless for that because diuretics are used shortly before weigh-ins by some fighters to lose a ton of weight. Martinez also could possibly suspect that Chavez Jr. is using performance enhancing drugs such as steroids and human growth hormone for him to want Chavez Jr. to be tested a month before the fight.

Before Martinez faces Chavez Jr. again he wants to get a fight in between in Argentina. Martinez feels he can get a lot of boxing fans that will want to see him fight. However, if Chavez Jr. receives a long 1 year suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his positive marijuana test then Martinez might want to think about getting an additional fight in just to keep busy. The last thing he needs is to sit around doing nothing while Chavez Jr. is out of action due the suspension.

Martinez continued “Before (the rematch with Chavez Jr.) want to do another fight. My idea is to box at home, get to 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Monumental de River.”

That would be incredible if Martinez could pack in that many fans to a fight in Argentina. I don’t know what the tickets would be going for, but he’d still likely make a ton of money even if they were sold dirt cheap. I can’t imagine 80,000 people showing up to see Martinez face a non-star in Argentina. Martinez’s fights don’t sell a lot of tickets in the U.S and it’s hard to imagine him being able to sell between 70,000 and 80,000 tickets. I’ll believe that when I see it.
