The WBC orders a resale between Christian Mbilli and Lester Martinez

The WBC has officially ordered a resale between Lester Martinez and WBC’s Interim Champion, Christian Mbilli, after both fought against a 12 -round tie last Saturday, September 13, at Las Vegas’s Allegiating Stadium.

Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 kos) and Martinez (19-0-1, 16 kos) went to war on the Canelo Alvarez vs. Card. Terence Crawford. Christian kept Martinez fixed to the ropes the whole struggle, landing punches on his head and body.

The problem of the dam

Lester made a lot of tension and shoulder, which the referee ignored. Without that, there is a good chance that Mbilli would have won because he was constantly pushed. The prey is allowed, but not to the extent that it becomes excessive, as Martinez did. Excessive shipping is considered a foul in boxing. This referee ignored it.

The scores

• 95-95
• 97-93: Martinez
• 96-94: Milli

Mbilli-Martinez’s struggle stole the show from the starting party, making it pale compared. The struggle showed the difference between two younger fighters in their first and two aged, both on the wrong side of 30, and they were no longer what they were before. Mbilli and Martínez showed that they would have been most appropriate at the main event, fighting Canelo or Crawford.

Punxon and analysis statistics

• Christian Mbilli: 273 punching connected from 787 for 35%
• Lester Martinez: 412 of 980 for 42%

Mbilli would have thrown more punches, but Martinez was often transferred to the outside. This forced Mbilli to walk through the traits of Lester to return inside. It was a process of rinse and repetition all night. Mbilli would put inside, the faster fire combinations, and then they were set to Martinez.

Many fans would prefer that the WBC had ordered the recent crowning undisputed champion Terence Crawford to defend Mbilli, as it is the provisional and mandatory champion for the belt. Mbilli became Mandatory WBC earlier this year when he ravaged Maciej Sulecki on the first round on June 27.

Martinez would be an excellent option to challenge the title, but he is a friend of Crawford. Therefore, it is questionable if he would agree to fight him if the WBC had ordered the two fight.
