Martinez & Chavez exchange harsh words...

This Saturday, WBC middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr takes on pound-for-pound contender Sergio Martinez in one of the biggest fights of the year. Now, I think it's fair to say that these do not like each other, you can even go as far as saying they actually hate each other. There is so much bad blood between them and they just can't stop insulting each other.

Martinez, who is obviously very hyped up for this fight, started with the trash-talk and made some pretty bold statements.

"I trained a long time dancing," said Martinez. "That's all I need to break his face a thousand times."

"I will punish him a lot and then I will knock him out. He will suffer a lot."

Chavez, who has been slightly quieter in the build-up to this fight, was quick to respond.

"I'm not only going to beat you; I'm going to retire you," said Chavez in reply to Martinez.

He continued: "I have seen when he was knocked out or knocked down and his eyes were white. He looked pretty good."

Seeing as Chavez brought up some of his history, 'Maravilla' decided to do a bit of the same.

"The only reason he is the champion is that he is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, the son of the legend. His mouth is bigger than his brain, he's talking too much."

Chavez once again responded to these taunts, this time saying: "I am going to shut him up once and for all... He is just a big clown."

Bailey continues with trash talk...

Now that the location has been sorted for their fight on September 8th, Randall Bailey has just one thing in his mind... Beating Devon Alexander.

The fight has been confirmed for well over a month but it took a very long time to find a venue for the fight. But finally, it has been announced that Las Vegas will be the location for the fight.

During the build-up to the fight there has been a huge amount of trash-talk between the two-men. There's been rows on Twitter, bad-mouthing in interviews and neither man has held back with what they're saying. With fight night fast approaching, Bailey has continued with this trend. 

"Devon Alexander is definitely going to get his ass whooped," said Bailey during an interview on ATV Radio. "They're talking all that sh*t. I don't know if they magic. They gonna have to know magic if they want to find a way to beat me." 

The 37-year old is usually pretty reserved when it comes to talking about his opponents, but this time something has changed. He has cussed Alexander on numerous occasions and doesn't look like he will stop into they're actually in the ring. Maybe he feels that it will help promote the fight or maybe just give him an advantage over his opponent. However, he claims that he is tired of talking and just wants to fight now. 

"Trust me, I got tired arguing with him online," Bailey claimed. They just talking, they don't mean half the shit they say. I'm really looking forward to f*cking him up." 

Alexander hasn't replied to these comments yet, but don't be surprised if he comes back with something smart soon.

Macklin bites back!

Matthew Macklin

Former European middleweight challenger Matthew Macklin has reacted angrily to the comments about him that were made by fellow British middleweight Martin Murray.

Murray called Macklin out yesterday and also insulted the former world title challenger and claimed that Macklin did not have the stomach to get in the ring with him. This is what Macklin had to say in return: "Firstly, I've always had the stomach to get in the ring with anyone as my record shows... I mean, taking a fight with Martin 'Non-punching Murray is hardly a scary proposition for me."

"If he wants to tell his management to contact mine with an offer in writing then let's do it. I am more than willing to get the fight on!"

Macklin is just coming off a fantastic performance against pound-for-pound contender Sergio Martinez. 'Mack the knife' fought well throughout the whole fight but was then knocked down by Martinez in the 11th round which resulted in his corner pulling him out.

Murray is also coming off a very creditable performance. He held world middleweight champion Felix Sturm to a draw last December in a very close fight.

A fight between these two is looking very likely to happen as fans all around the world have started talking about it already. Seeing that Murray has been denied a Visa for the United States, the fight would most likely  have to take place in the UK.
