WBC middleweight champ Sergio Martinez easily outboxed Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for 11 rounds but got knocked down in the final round and barely made it to the final bell. Across town, on the same night, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez looked great in stopping a tough but undersized Josesito Lopez in five rounds to retain his WBC light middleweight title.
Neither Martinez nor Alvarez have a next fight lined up. Both would like a big payday against Floyd Mayweather Jr. but that appears unlikely. What if Martinez and Alvarez were to fight each other? At 22, Alvarez is already a big, strong light middleweight so moving up to 160 - or meeting at a catchweight - should't be an issue.
