Well, from the point of view of betting, it's something else, but I think that this time Martinez really wants to stand out and from what I've read the boxer has very good technique, at a professional level I'm sure he won't do badly, so I have seen, some give Ancajas the winner, but in my personal opinion Martinez is a clear winner for me, obviously without going through Ancajas's abilities, Martinez is a boxer who for now will be measured with a higher degree of demand, here he can discovering that there is a business model that is impressive, and the statistics are supporting it, I wonder if it goes 3:1 how it will be in less time, will the ratio increase?
On the first fight it was obvious that Martinez was the clear winner, it was not a controversial fight as even the fans of Ancajas believe that Martinez won. Well, we are now in the rematch, I'm just hoping that Ancajas will make the right adjustment so it will not again result in a one sided fight.
No debate on that, Ancajas looks exhausted in that fight, so it's time for him to bounce back by winning the fight. I know it's easier said than done but I still believe that Ancajas is capable of doing that, he work his way to become a champion, he would not give up that easily, and winning here means him becoming a champion once again.
He cannot make another excuse if he will lose in the rematch (this fight), he has to give everything he has in order to get back the belt and be declared as a champion again. He is the hope of the Philippines because we only have few champions, and if there's a Filipino champions, people are more eager to watch the fight which could create unity to the people.
That fact alone will be one of the reasons why Ancajas should be more eager to get the belt that was once safe in his possession before he got lost by a first time title challenger, Martinez. Let's just give Ancajas the benefit of the doubt too because having a sudden exchange of opponent will of course make him struggle or any boxer in the industry as Ancajas himself didn't prepared for Martinez.
Well everything revolves around Ancajas for now, I know that many know Ancjajas better, but for now Martinez is doing everything possible to stand out and take the wins, for now if Martinez gets this win it will undoubtedly open all the doors for that he can have great fights, he will also discover that fighting professionally will bring him a lot of money, which is something that can be a great motivation, with all that I think that the boxer will not want to contemplate a defeat for anything in the world and when he sees that the model of business is very profitable, he will always want to look for the best fights, and the more famous boxers the more money for him.
Now I don't know, I think that the capacities that Ancajas can develop in the last few months that he has prepared should be taken into account, this can be very decisive.
I guess we can call it that way, it's a faith that he can redeem what he lost in their first encounter while also supporting Ancajas regardless of the result because he is a fellow countrymen.
I think that fatigue we saw on Ancajas is a result after he met the required weight because days before the fight, he's still struggling to meet the weight needed while he is training in double as there's a last minute replacement which is Martinez. That's why he looks like he didn't have enough energy. But we'll see it this time as things could be much more different than their first fight.
Well, I think that this mistake of tiredness must be working on him even more Ancajas, this fight will have less tiredness for him, so I imagine that his training must be to resist much more, and that is one of the most difficult to train, some boxers have great stamina just because of pure genetics, but in his case he has to work hard because if he makes the same mistake again, one of the things that Ancajas will have the most for this match will be a lot of stamina, but this is well, because Martinez will also go all out, he won't want to miss out on the golden opportunity he has to make himself known even more.
So it's bad to stay in a weight division wherein you can't really make weight, another example is Casimero. he wanted to fight Inoue so he stayed in that division and in the first scheduled fight against Butler, he fell ill. And in the second one, he was caught with the Sauna thingy.
He was already struggling to keep the required weight, it's just too bad for Casimero as he was caught cheating, he could have just move up and be the number 1 contender to fight the champion. For Ancajas here, there's still one more chance for him to avenge his loss, if he wins here, people will stop doubting him, if he losses, then no choice for him but to move up.
Speaking of Casimero, I wonder what is he up to now because he should at least make some statement that he will climb through the next weight class because it was already clear that bantamweight is not for him anymore and fight this year too because he was already 1 year inactive last August. Anyway back to this fight, I think it's time for Ancajas to move too if he is truly struggling to make the required weight in this division but for now, he should try and settle his score first against Martinez before deciding what he should do next.
That kind of plan might need to wait, because Ancajas needs to focus on this upcoming rematch. It will give him a chance to hype his career and reclaim his former title before he decides to move up. If he's really struggling with maintaining his weight. We know how important a title is for every fighter. They need to carry a good name to make sure that they will have another money fight and secured their future finances.
So far, Ancajas is already working with his weight and as far as I remember, he already has dietarian to take care of his health while working with his usual trainings and sparring drills.
That is very interesting, from what I see Ancajas needs much more for things to go well for him and he can recover many things, I don't know but I think he should do everything possible to win, and the way Martinez describes it he is clear and will not make it easy for him, Martinez's preparation has been very strong and he has made a lot of effort, nothing more than the fact that he can score a victory over Ancajas is something that can boost his career, for me Martinez has found in boxing the professional path that life is showing him, is something that not everyone sees and some give up, I see that Martinez has a lot of spirit in his fights.
