Tonight on HBO: "Diamond Elite" Boxing Show: Sergio Martinez vs. Dzinziruz

Image via WikipediaThe best analogy for this contest Saturday Dzinziruk vs Martinez "Kirk vs. Spock." For the editors of the Tribune boxing in no way be regarded as Trekkies.

Sergio Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KOs) is the Captain Kirk-intuitive, creative, a risk taker. Sergiy Dzinziruk (37-0, 23 KOs), on the other hand, is analytical, logical, cold, Mr. Spock.

Martinez takes the fight when he sees it going. Although able to box out and play safely, it is more than ready to go to war when he feels the time has come. At times he may be attracted to take risks beyond those that are absolutely necessary, but left his position and work to help her athletic difficult situations.

Dzinziruk not fight for the jr. scarce resources on more than 7 years and can be a factor, but more importantly to look for is how Martinez is allowed to dictate the pace of combat.

If this becomes nothing but a tactical boxing match, which will be credited to Martinez, but then that Martinez can beat at different speeds and rhythms, Dzinziruk knows only one way to fight. This should be the difference in this contest.
