Jordan Martinez vs Arturo Cardenas II -The Rematch
First fight? Split draw. Fans booed. Martinez, the HEAVY underdog nearly nicked it.
Now they run it back June 13 for the WBC Continental Americas Super Bantamweight Title. Same venue, different stakes.
The case for Martinez: He proves the first fight wasn't a fluke - a 23-year-old knockout artist (15 stoppages in 16 fights) who belongs in there. He's now a Matchroom signing with a full camp built around this fight. Motivated, prepared, and with film on Cardenas.
The case for Cardenas: Robert Garcia corner, undefeated pedigree, home-state advantage, and he knows Martinez now too. The favourite tag won't rattle him.
The key variable: Who made the better adjustments? First fights are data. Rematches are chess.
Call: Martinez completes the upset. More experienced camp, hunger of proving the draw wrong, and he's the one who ended the first fight stronger.
