Sillyman: Chavez is Obligated To Mexico To Fight Martinez

very suprised by this. How long before Chavez Jr. dumps the belt into the trash can, Riddick Bowe style.

they dont need the WBC belt. im sure that somebody will give him the golden super duper title to replace it.

Or make him a Diamond belt champion. All I know is Arum will find a way to keep Chavez some sort of Champ while avoidin Martinez like a plague.

I could care less about WBC nonsense.

Sulaiman will probably just "create" another belt for Jr.

I guess this matter got really heated at the WBC convention yesterday.

This one was good! Threats and accusations flew in every direction with this situation. Sergio Martinez was scheduled to meet his mandatory challenger and WBC interim champion Sebastian Zbik earlier this year. HBO’s Ross Greenberg was reported to have said, according to Martinez’ promoter Lou DiBella, “Zbik will never fight in HBO!” End of story, right? Wrong! Martinez was then somehow title-less, or elevated to “Champion Emeteritus,” it’s not exactly clear (unless you ask Martinez’ advisor Sampson Lewkowicz), and Zbik was elevated to regular WBC champion. When a match was made with Zbik defending against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., suddenly Zbik found himself fight on, you guessed it, HBO

Chavez’ promoter Top Rank was looking t make an optional defense in February on HBO, while that network was also holding a date in March for Martinez to defend his diamond belt. Both Martinez advisor Sampson Lewkowicz and promoter Lou DiBella lobbied vehemently for their case of Martinez to “challenge” Chavez as the mandatory. DiBella even went so far as to bring a cloth restaurant napkin on which details of a deal had been scrawled at some point, to Sulaiman up on the dais. Things got hot, tempers flared, and a near breakdown almost occurred. Eventually, the board voted unanimously in favor of Martinez to be the next opponent of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. regardless of the HBO dates being held, regardless of Chavez promoter Top Rank’s plans, and regardless of the outcomes of tomorrow’s Rubio-Vanda fight, where Rubio is currently the mandatory challenger of Chavez Jr.

interesting but this carnival makes pt barum look like a non hussler.chavez jr is a legit contender for martinezs title.ring magazine rankings establish that.the fight would be a big one financialy.chavez jr losing isnt going to destroy his following nor his appeal.a win would make him a much bigger star and that is in the area of a real possibilty dispite the low opinions of chavez jr.a hard fought loss even if stoped could bring legitimacy to chavezs critics.
striping a title is so comon place that most fans could care less.oh well its business as usual ..harmfull business perhaps.

I wonder how Chavez will feel about losing his belt like a coward? His daddy would have never allowed that to happen to him.

I hope the kid has cojones and tells his promoter to make the damn fight.

I agree. Sillyman and the joke WBC go out of there way to give him his trinket, and he will likely ditch it instead of facing Martinez.

This is getting interesting, it seems Chavez really wants to keep his paper belt because he hasn't vacated it yet. He's in a lose, lose situation. He avoids Martinez, he loses his belt and looks cowardly, if he fights Martinez he will be embarrassed and Knocked, and still loses his belt.

I'm still skeptical that this fight will ever happen. Best way for Chavez to lose will be in an upset. Arum won't put him in a dangerous fight ever.

Chavez Jr. is in a fight that could be difficult against Rubio. Rubio has more power than Zbik, Manfredo, etc....

Sulaiman was able to say the words "moral obligation" without bursting into flames?!

Sulaiman has all but called Chavez Jr. a bitch.

i wont believe it until i see it.

a belt is getting dropped in the garbage (where it should be)

The Middleweight Champ is not scared of anyone. Once Chavez jr whoops Sergio what are you haters going to say

Top Rank will make Chavez jr vacate the belt and then Arum will bash Jose Sillyman. Top Rank will not allow the fight to happen and Chavez wills shut up and listen to what they tell him to do.
