Chávez Jr., 'Maravilla' Martínez meet in Las Vegas • 09/11/2012, 09:13 PM

The boxers Julio César Chávez Jr. and Sergio 'Maravilla' Martínez met at the Wynn Hotel, when they arrived in Las Vegas for their fight Saturday, in a fight that 18,000 spectators will see at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Before the boxers arrived, the media was already there to capture the best moments of the event.

'Maravilla' has the support of several admirers, who showed the Argentine flag proudly.

Martínez looks to take the WBC title from the Mexican, which he won in 2010 against Kelly Pavlik.

The experience of his 37 years and more thnan 40 victories allowed him to tell Terra he planned to win by knockout in the 11th round. He added that his fight against Chavez Jr. wasn't the most difficult of his career, saying, 'the fight against Pavlik was much harder.'

The Argentine arrived a bit late, but he left the limo in style, answering questions from the media in a cool and collected manner.

Martinez's best qualities as a boxer are his movement and his technical boxing skills that allow him to pile up points.

This fight is for the WBC title belt.

On the other side, Chávez Jr., son of Mexican boxing legend Julio César Chávez, arrived with trainer Freddie Roach.

He signed autographs for hundreds of fans who gathered at the Wynn Hotel.

As opposed to his rival, Chávez Jr. arrived informally dressed, with a T-shirt and red sneakers, and he never removed his sunglasses.

This is Chavez Jr.'s fourth WBC title defense, after winning the title in June 2011 against Germany's Sebastian Zbik.

This is the most important fight of Chavez Jr.'s career.

His youth and inexperience are the opposite of the seasoned Martinez, making for an interesting clash Saturday.

Chavez Jr. told Terra he would break Martinez's jaw after he talked sop much before the bout, but he recognizes the virtues of his rival, but he has no doubts about his ability to win the fight.

The legend's son said he will be cold and without sentiment Saturday night, explaining that the dirty words used by his opponent will serve as motivation in the fight.

He recognized that if he beats Martinez, it will be the biggest win of his career.

Chavez added that he learns something new from his father and Freddie Roach every day, because 'they are both legends and libraries of boxing and life, and I always listen to them,' but ultimately, he is the one who has to fight his way.
