And Martinez just didn't get caught, he barely survived that 12th round. Of course that doesn't negate what he did in the previous 11 rounds, but that also doesn't change the fact that Chavez nearly pulled off a monster upset. Martinez was seriously hurt in that final round and got hit with some really hard bombs. This just wasn't a mere knock down. The man nearly lost it all after a near flawless performance.
And why would Chavez be scared to let his hands go in a second fight? Especially when he proved to himself that he could seriously hurt Martinez when he actually does. IMO, I think that 12th round can only help Chavez's confidence going into a second fight. He might actually come out more aggressive and attack instead of waiting for that opportune moment.
He got right back up and traded with Chavez and didn't even hold. In fact he did that the whole night as soon as Chavez started landing.
Martinez is going to do whatever lands him the biggest check IMO ... so he might fight Chavez again and beat him down for a second time. But Chavez got exposed big time with his only attribute being his size ... he looked like a LHW or a Cruiser against Martinez.
